    Nice, can't wait to go back with my family. There are so many small hotels around cho Ben Thanh that we stayed at to be close to the market.

      Wonderful! Ours was also one block away from Ben Thanh. 😄

    Adding the classic Vietnamese music is a nice touch. I was there a couple of weeks ago...Vietnam is a good place to visit but hard to live - did you also find it like this?

      Thank you! 😃Unfortunately, we were only in Vietnam for 21 days, so it was hard to tell if it was liveable in such a short amount of time. We're curious, though; what are some issues that make it a hard country to live in?

      @@NewDestonations Hey buddy, I live in Australia so it's a huge difference - but I felt Vietnam to be generally very crowded/busy, fast lifestyle and unless you know where to buy things/eat, you genreally get swindled by the locals at most places, it's too darn hot for most of the year and the country is overall very dusty and dirty so not somewhere you would live in for long periods in my honest opinion. You said there for nearly a month so that's a fairly long stay - did you eat at resturants or locally at the street food stalls?

      @@DungarooTV That's a valid point, my friend, because we did feel that Vietnam was quite polluted and certainly overcrowded. And to be honest with you, the pollution would be a definite deal breaker in terms of living there. However, we didn't get swindled too badly, and things were quite reasonably priced for US/Netherland standards. That said, even if we did get swindled unknowingly, it really didn't hurt the wallet too badly, if that makes sense? And yeah, we ate locally, and went on a street food tour that was excellent. Oh, yeah, and the food was simply amazing!
