I almost go to Ho Chi Minh City twice every three months to do some investment and construction work. I'm different from Kitty; I still prefer to live in Landmark, which costs about $1,000 a month for a one-bedroom apartment, around 55 square meters. If it's for a family, a two-bedroom apartment is about $1,500, around 85 square meters.

I like Landmark mainly because the transportation is very convenient, and it's not far to go anywhere. There is a Vincom Center shopping mall, which is quite similar to those in China, basically a one-stop solution for all needs in Ho Chi Minh City. Moreover, there are mostly Chinese and Koreans here, making it a higher-end community with better security.

Of course, due to the many short-term rental tourists, there is indeed some chaos with the crowd. This place should be the most convenient spot for most friends in Ho Chi Minh City. If you walk about 2 kilometers, there is a place under the bridge that serves beef pho, which tastes quite average, but the portion is really large, probably around $5, though I don't remember very clearly.

Landmark is not far from Japan Street. To be honest, I really don't recommend everyone to go to Japan Street for entertainment; it's almost a pitfall at every step. It's fine to walk by and take a look, but you need to be very cautious when entering shops to consume, especially for Chinese friends who are basically seen as moving ATMs. Local friends tell me they often go to Japan Street to rescue people, but in reality, they only get a discount of about 60-70%, and they won't miss a single cent of what they should pay.

I only have one purpose for going to Japan Street, which is the coffee shop opposite Cherry. They serve my favorite pho in all of Ho Chi Minh City. Every time I go to Ho Chi Minh City, I make sure to eat there at least once, probably more times than I eat at Haidilao in Vincom Center. The soup is just too good; I always take a taxi there, have a meal, and then take a taxi back to Landmark.

The traffic in Ho Chi Minh City is quite poor, and taking a taxi is not expensive. I haven't really paid much attention to the prices. If you're on a short trip to Ho Chi Minh City, taking a taxi is not a problem. However, if you're living there long-term, a motorcycle would be more convenient. Using Grab in Ho Chi Minh City is quite good and very convenient; a car can arrive in about ten minutes.

Speaking of pho, Vietnamese King @ayongaBTC and @Kingskobe24 often take me to Michelin-rated pho restaurants. I still think the taste is quite average, but indeed, the price of pho in Vietnam is not expensive, and the portions are quite large, especially the soup, which tastes good.

Since I usually stay in Vietnam for a short time, generally within a week, I don't pay much attention to food. Each time I go, my friends treat me very well. However, from my personal perspective, if you stay at Landmark, the meal costs are not very cheap, about $10 for a meal. If you eat in the mall, there are more choices, but the prices are also higher, averaging around $20 per person.

The weather in Vietnam is similar to that in Singapore; it's quite hot. However, it feels like it rains often in Vietnam, and the likelihood of heavy rain is quite high. Almost every time I go, there is a heavy downpour. This is also the advantage of living in Landmark; you can solve all problems in a one-stop manner without having to go out.

Overall, I am indeed investing and laying out industries in Vietnam now, and I have also taken many friends from Singapore to Vietnam for inspections. The feedback from friends has been quite good, especially since Vietnam has an open attitude towards cryptocurrency now. Many exchanges have started to establish a presence in Vietnam, and several local exchanges are also moving towards compliance.
