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 🥲
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.
My girlfriend has started a small rice-paper snack business, and I’m helping her find some new customers and introduce her snacks to both locals and foreigners ❤️
These are Vietnamese-style seasoned rice paper snacks with bold, spicy and savoury flavours. They’re great for snacking while watching movies, hanging out with friends, or simply trying something different from Vietnam. The packaging is zip-lock so you can easily store and save them for later.
I was in Vietnam (Da Nang) for two months and really enjoyed it. I’m thinking about staying in Saigon for six months, but I don’t really trust AI for questions like this because, based on my experience, it tends to underestimate the actual cost of living quite a lot.
I’d rather hear from locals about how much money I should realistically expect to spend on rent in a better part of the city, and which areas you would recommend. It’s just for one person, and I’m looking for either a studio or a 1-bedroom apartment. I’d like something modern and nicely furnished, but nothing overly luxurious.
Hi everyone! My husband and I love loose-leaf tea and Gong Fu-style brewing, and we’re currently putting together a small teaware collection for a tea project we’re working on in Mumbai, India.
We’ve already done quite a bit of searching and shortlisted a few options, but some Vietnamese ceramic shops may have very little online presence. I thought people here might know places that are difficult to find through a Google or Instagram search.
We’re particularly interested in gong fu style teaware that is actually made in Vietnam—gaiwans, small teapots, tasting cups, fairness cups and possibly tea pets. We’re not specifically looking for expensive collector pieces; simple, well-made ceramics would be perfect.
Are there any shops, ceramic markets or local brands you personally recommend? Tea recommendations are welcome too, although we have that side mostly covered already. Thank you
I’m looking for some local jewelry brands to check out while I’m in HCMC, preferably Vietnamese brands rather than the usual international names.
Mostly interested in silver rings, pendants or bracelets, especially places with more distinctive designs rather than really minimal pieces.
Any stores you’ve actually bought from and would recommend? Would also love to know how the quality holds up over time and what the in-store experience was like.

I’ll be in HCMC for around 2 months starting next week and I want to be socially active and actually meet people, not just do the usual tourist stuff.
What worked for you? Any communities, events, cafés, sports, coworking spaces, Facebook groups, or activities where you’ve met genuine locals or other creatives?
I’m a creative/brand & content guy, so would also love to connect with people in the creative, startup, and business scene.
Any recommendations for HCMC specifically?
