there are many interesting places to visit. But it all depends on what your preference is, landscape, history, cuisine, culture, etc. I can show you around. ;)

You can visit History museum, War remnants Museum, Museum of Ho Chi Minh City... etc.
Beside you can visit Cu Chi Tunnels too. Once in Cu Chi, you will be on a tour of bomb craters, bamboo-stake pits, M41 tanks, the tunnels as well try your shooting skills at a shooting gallery, using a M16 or an AK 47 rifle. :) It's relly interesting.
I hope you enjoy your trip

a new motorcycle prices from 1000 to 1500 USA, and I think that District 2 is a good place to live, as many foreigners as you live.

If you have much money, district 7 is the best place for you. But in my opinion, district 3 is really good, - near the city center, suitable, unexpensive houses, suitable costs, easy to find a work......... I'm not sure about the crime rate. But I can think district 3 is the safest place. I suggest you to use a scooter, you can choose Honda Air Blade or Yamaha Nouvo. They're not very expensive. A VietNam Honda Air Blade is about 2000 USD....

I bought bicycle for $100 USD (2.000.000 VND). I do not have a motor bike. My bicycle is not new. My bike has no motor. My bike is old and used. I can go just as fast as a motor bike. I do not have to really pay money for gas, parking, accidents, parts. I save a lot of money with my bike. It is a lot of fun. It is good exercise as well.

yes, it's definitely worth a day for you to visit Mekong Delta.
Because the time is short, only 1 day, you should go on a tour service. I did it last time with a tour for foreign tourists, it cost me $15 yet I found it worth it.

As for tips for Saigon trip, it depends on what type of tourist you are. :P

Do not live in District 1, 3, 2, 7. Unless if you afford paying more money for things. Live in the cheaper districts.

How To Get a New Visa after 6 Months in Vietnam?

Visa renewal/extension...help?

7 minutes ago

Ryan Coleman

 Hi everybody- so I'm coming to HCMC to take a course June 10th- July 5th. Tragically my VISA extension (I extended my original 3 month visa for 3 extra months) expires on July 4th. Does anybody have any wise advice/counsel on the best way to get one more month in HCMC? (that’s how long I want to stay) Either through another extension, or a brand new 1 month visa I suppose. Recommendations on visa-agents would also be super-appreciated.

People tell me to take a bus to Cambodia. some people say the bus ride to Cambodia is around $20 USD (400.000 VND). They say you should stay the night at a hostel for around $10. Go to a travel agency to buy a new visa. I extended my 3 month tourist visa for 3 more months. My visa expires around the end of May of 2013. I will either go to Cambodia or find another way to get a new visa. I live and work teaching English at schools in the different districts in Saigon.
