|ENG| Backpackers, usually compare Bui Vien street (here in the pics) to Khao San the tourist street of Bangkok.This district is filled with restaurants, cafe, hotels, bars and pubs.

Is the concrete jungle a myth? | Es la jungla de concreto un mito?
Is the concrete jungle a myth? Hochiminh, it is. My 1st impression about Ho Chi Minh city was: WOW.
