Xin Chao Irene, what is your perfect day in Saigon?

"One day when I was not up early, hop, no small dej, I go directly lunch with my girlfriends.

If I want French food, I like to go to lunch at the Garden: the terrace is super nice, very good food and not too expensive and super nice owner! (Le Jardin D 31 Thai Van Lung, District 1). And Vietnamese food, I go to a "greasy greasy" behind Ben Thanh Nam Ky parallel to the Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio and rice vermicelli. A delight!

Following is the sports aside: I'm going to play squash at the Landmark with a friend and take a dip in the pool (Landmark, 5B Ton Duc Thang, District 1, 240 000VND the past 1 day subscriptions are also available.) .

Follows the parenthesis girls day! I start by choosing fabrics market on Hai Ba Trung, I take the clothes I want to repeat to help me choose the fabric (Tan Dinh market, Hai Ba Trung, D3).

Then I often go to the dressmaker on Le Thanh Ton: it is cheap and works really well. This is a good place, even for tourists because it also speaks English. For cutting, I take either of the models I already copir or patterns found in magazines. It takes about 150 000VND for a skirt and a week's time (XXX). Otherwise, I also have a great address for men's shirts: it takes about $ 30 including fabric and ten days, but it's worth it! (Dung, 221 Le Thanh Ton)

Then it is essential manicure / pedicure: I go to the same place every time, near Ben Thanh market because the seats are super comfortable, it's cheaper than other shop next door and she paints super good! (The what?) Yes, every time I do paint designs or drawings! For example, if the Tet, I'm going to do nails with flowers painted cherry top, if I go to Hong Kong, I'm doing the flag etc, etc ...! (Nghia Beauty, 20 Phan Boi Chau, District 1)

If I still have a little time, I go to massage with hot stones for 70min ... and it only costs 250 000VND! (118 Nail & Beauty, 118 Pasteur Street)

At the end of the day, I like to look at the training Vietbodao, the Vietnamese martial art. They train on concrete and are background. The atmosphere is concentration! (On Dinh Tien Hoang at Mai Thi Luu).

Then begins the night in Saigon. First dinner with friends or to the Camargue if I want French cuisine: and here I recommend you input the Saint Jacques shells outbreaks cognac, then duck or lamb chop slightly crispy the trio of crème brûlée. (The Camargue, 191 Hai Ba Trung Street | District 1).

Or if I want to Vietnamese cuisine Com Nieu, really good (and she knows what she's talking about! His family has two Vietnamese restaurants in Paris!). I would often take the noodles with crab and pork ribs with lemongrass (Com Nieu, 59 Ho Xuan Huong St., Dist.3)

After dinner, we go out to Stash because it is the time that the bar has recently opened! The music is nice, the people are cool and it's not too noisy! (Blanchy's Tash 95 Hai Ba Trung, District 1).

And I finished the tour by the Russian Bar, one of the few places where you can dance after 3am without being in a "trashy" or too touristy place (Russian Bar, 6 Le Van Huu Dist. 1).

And then sleep! "
