Located near the mighty Mekong River, Ho Chi Minh City is not only the largest city in Vietnam but also a center for culture and economy. Even though it’s a bustling city with millions of inhabitants, the people are laid-back and many still follow ancient Vietnamese traditions. Some of the most beautiful temples and palaces in Asia can be found in Vietnam, as well as a unique and delicious local cuisine. Despite difficult times, Saigon, as the locals still call it, is a true gem reflecting the country’s history and the warmth of its people.

Much of the Vietnamese lifestyle takes place outside. That’s why there is an abundance of street markets, cafes and restaurants offering the most delicious food out in the open. After class and on weekends, you can explore the city's many attractions, such as Independence Palace and Notre Dame Cathedral, one of the many structures left from the French colonial period. The nightlife of HCM is also worth experiencing. Hang out with tourists and locals alike at the famous beer Hoi shops selling cheap local beer. Should you not want to stay in the bustling city of Ho Chi Minh, take an express bus and explore surrounding jungle or islands. As you can see, you will not get bored when spending a month in Vietnam training to become an ESL teacher.
