Anh was kind enough to get up really early to do a tour before she got to work, starting with a stroll through a park watching people while she introduced vietnamese life. Then on to visit a traditional morning market (where I was the only tourist), followed by breakfast (noodle soup of course), before dropping me off at a pagoda with very clear instructions on how to get back.
She is very nice and friendly and genuinely cares that you have a good time throughout your trip.

Huyen is very friendly and happy share insights in many aspects of life in HCMC and Vietnam and how it is to live/study/work here.
We visited some sights, had very good (and huge) vietnamese lunch, then off to chinatown and temples before ending with coffee.
The day involved lots of motorbiking, a pleasure to just flow through the sea of vehicles while she handled the craziness very safely.

I felt instantly comfortable with Tam, she is one of the most
easygoing, open and joyful persons I've met.
After a quick view of the post office we went to a nearby park
where there are lots of local youths and spent some time
talking about everything vietnamese and how it compares to other
countries, supported by delicious streetfood.
Highly recommended.
