From being locked up to seeing the world I applaud Spanian for turning his life around .. legit so good to see him enjoying different cultures and life away from gang violence, crime and petty beef. I hope people can look up to him and look past those things and enjoy life

[@hayleyl1881]

Although I wasn't in district 4 much, as a solo female travler I found Vietnam to be very safe. The people were really kind, a surprising amount of locals speak english. I felt like locals really looked out for me evem just walking down the street, when I first got to Ho Chi Minh city a lady on a scooter stopped me to tell me not to have my phone put or it will get swiped. I backpacked South to North Vietnam, some of the best food I ate was at random food stands. They will hustle you a bit if you are a tourist at the markets and such. Part of the culture is to haggle, but everything is so cheap for northerners anyways so I felt uncomfortable doing that lol.

[@jenniechan3587]

They will respect you and applaud your bargaining skills if you end up being good at bargaining haha. but yeah in the touristy areas they mark up the price 500% so dont feel bad if you get it for 50% or less

[@chfclnkj7344]

Haha. VNese always have a different price for foreigners.

The “crazy lady” the first time around said “teach him (Spanian) how to eat properly”. Second time around she said “the way he is eating with his hands, it’s dirty” she is referring to the way he was eating the intestines 😂 It was hard to hear, but thats what I made of it. And the godfathers name is Nam Cam (ex South Viet soldier during the VN war), pretty much ran all the gambling houses, criminal networks etc. Pretty sure he was executed by the firing squad. I’ve heard stories of D4 being rough back then from my relos. But now its a airbnb hotspot for tourists and much safer as its super close to D1 (which is like the CBD of Saigon)

Viet Australian here just got back around 2 weeks ago, never expected to see you visit Vietnam haha 😁. District 4 used to be a gangsters haven but now its just like every other district in Saigon in terms of safety. You should visit Dalat, its a city up in the mountains, full hectic night markets and cuisines over there. If your still in Saigon and wanna shoot some real heavy guns and learn and explore real life war shit, go to the Cu Chi Tunnels. During the Vietnam War the underground tunnels was used by the Viet Cong where they lived and full had a society down underground. They used and placed booby traps and what not which killed a fk ton of Americans coming through their area, now its a tourist place but a lot of their shit still remains intact. You also have a option to shoot about 10 different types of guns there that Viet soldiers commonly used back then, AK’s, M60 Machine Gun, M16 etc etc kinda expensive but lad u got dat dosh 😂 Would make a sick video.

The fried doughs, shaped like 2 sticks glueing together are popular for breakfast. They are great with dipping into pho, varieties of noodle soups & congee. The dough with the white rice cake in the filling is normally eaten by itself or filled with sticky rice. The rice cake is used as a filling in that dough is not traditionally eaten as such.

It has become a diverse street food area, I would say they have the most delicious street foods with reasonable price there.
