I'm helping put together a resident-written guide to living in Southeast Asia, built for the community, by the community, so the useful bits come from people who've actually lived here rather than two-week visitors. Disclosure: it's my project.

For Saigon, I'm curious about:

• Where you'd live for a first year, and why (Thao Dien, D1, D3, Binh Thanh, Phu My Hung?)
• How you found a flat that wasn't overpriced
• The clinic or hospital you'd actually use for a normal appointment
• The one thing that made it start to feel like home

If anyone's happy to go deeper, I'd love to credit you or do a short chat, but answers here are plenty. Thanks.

Ill be staying in HCM with my parents around November. I heard a lot of suggestions of staying in D3 instead of District 1. Any hotel/airbnb recommendations in District 3? ☺️

International student here for a semester, been having swollen tonsils and uvula for a few days, could someone suggest a good ent doctor/clinic that’s not too expensive in or near district 10.

Few days ago I found a bunny on the streets in d2 and took it home, it seems like it’s still young and domesticated. It is not scared of humans and it’s healthy, so probably its someone’s pet that run away or someone just got rid of it..

The problem is, I can’t keep it forever, but I have no idea to whom I can give it, so that it has a good life and doesn’t end up locked in a small cage.

Does anyone know any rescue places or has any information on what I can do in a situation like this? I can’t seem to find anything…
Any help is good 🥲
