1.2. SafetyVietnam is an incredibly safe country. For a city as large as Ho Chi Minh City, the crime rate is verylow, especially violent crime. Petty crime can be an issue here but if you walk about the streetssmartly and don’t act flashy, you are likely not to have a problem. The freestanding homes andbungalows usually have a security booth and many of the occupants hire a private securityservice. These homes that are independent of compounds tend to have a really high wall as wellto deter thieves. That being said, homes, both in and out of compounds, can get broken into soany precautions you would take in your home country most likely also apply here.

1.3. Culture

ATTRACTION Introduction

The “Ao Dai” appears to flatter every figure.
