Let me tell you about one of my country's most fascinating cities. It is, in fact, the busiest and largest Vietnam, as well as, as you might assume, it is very familiar to most of the national citizens and international people. It is this city, where I have been living for nearly 20 years, named Ho Chi Minh City, also called Sai Gon, and it's located in the south of this S-shaped nation.
This city has been in existence for ages, which could be over 300 years old if I am not mistaken. Despite innumerable modifications, large and small, it may still keep many ancient places, and one of those is Ben Thanh Market. With a dénity number of more or less than 10 million residents and frequent traffic congestion, this metropolis is currently a tad overloaded. Although pollution levels are pretty high, it continues to draw an increasing number of people, especially visitors and immigrants, each year. Foreigners visit to do business or to learn about the local culture. Immigrants from different cities and provinces come here in search of a better life, I mean, it is pretty simple to perform whatever profession you want and make even more profit here, or at least tolerable than it is in other parts of Vietnam. Economically, this city is arguably the most prosperous place; however, it is not as romantic as Da Lat, as ecologically friendly as Da Nang, or as lyrical as the capital, Ha Noi.
What I find most intriguing about this city is that it is really multicultural, at least in terms of cuisine options. I can discover a wide variety of cuisines here, and if I can afford it, I can eat practically everything, from Asian cuisines such as Vietnamese, Indian, Korean, and Japanese to Western dishes including French, Italian, American, and even Brazilian. As someone with a strong appetite, I really like this city.
