good quality beef in ho chi minh by JustinAussieinVietnam
hi guys, I moved to ho chi minh a month ago and have been unable to find any good quality meat. do you know any place that sells high quality beef? I have heard there is australian beef around but just don't know where to find it. I'm in ...
It's a pity that beef isn't brought in here from Vanuatu. They have the best beef I've ever tasted, anywhere in my life, and I've eaten beef all over Australia and the USA (IMHO the best Australian beef is much better than the best ... Read More
Steak knives? by delatbabel
Does anyone know where I can buy decent steak knives in Saigon?
As a follow up. Lotte Mart do have a knife section, I saw it several times. There were no steak knives for sale in that section. I do know what a steak knife looks like. They had a set of 3 knives in a pack, one of which was a steak knife, but ... Read More
Espero electric scooter? by delatbabel
Hi all, I'm tempted to buy one of these, Espero Xmen electric scooter: http://www.xedapdientranquang.com/xe-may-dien-x-men-1-1-815320.html Has anyone tried anything similar? I have had an electric bicycle at home (with a Li-Ion battery) but ...
Interesting information, but unrelated to what I was looking for. I'm not interested in the gas burning engine, I would need a license and registration for that and I don't have that in the short term. I don't live in an apartment, and ... Read More

Best burger in Saigon?
What's your opinion? Currently my vote goes to the blue burger at Jaspas on Dong Khoi in D1. The meat is thick and tender, cooked to char on the outside but still juicy inside. If you're not a blue cheese fan like I am then maybe you ... Read More
My apartment building project in Saigon, Vietnam by benlws
Hello everyone, I'm in the process of building a small apartment on a piece of land that my wife and I purchased early this year, and I'm also writing to document about my real estate journey and experiences in Saigon, and random rambling thoughts ...
Good luck and I'm interested to keep following. I've been reading the blog. This is something I've been considering for myself, maybe in a couple of years time although I would be looking around the Tan Binh district rather than Binh ... Read More

Business cards by delatbabel
HI, Can someone recommend a company here to design and print business cards? Thanx, Del
Let me restate that I want to have someone else design the card for me. I don't want to use MS publisher to do it myself, my design skills aren't that good. I have some ideas which I'm prepared to discuss with a designer but just ... Read More

Hi there I have been going to this English club for a few weeks and really LOVE this place. We are there mostly Vietnamese workers and students, most of them very nice and enthusiastic to learn speaking English. For now, there is only one ...
I have been going most Wednesdays and there are usually 2-3 other expats there. I can't make Mondays so I don't know what the mix is on that day. Read More
Yacht Sailing by geoffsails
I'm from England, born a Geordie but I grew up in the Wirral near Chester. I currently live in Nha Trang, Vietnam. I'm single and enjoy sailing. I'm an experienced Yacht Skipper with many long passages behind me and around 55,000 Nautical Miles ...
Of course the big question is -- will the rules about yacht entry to Vietnam be relaxed when the marina is ready? At the moment it would be next to impossible for a foreign flagged yacht to enter the marina (must stay within sight of Nha Trang ... Read More

OK stay in touch. Is that actually at Bai Tien (about 40km north of Nha Trang) or closer to Nha Trang itself? The topo map on the Ana Marina web site looks like an area near Vinh Hoa just north of Nha Trang on the Nha Trang bay. Read More
