Experience Local Life in Ho Chi Minh City

We walked around the narrow alleyways of Ho Chi Minh City's District 3 on a Saturday and encountered locals with their apartment doors wide open, lounging, prepping food, or doing housework. We got some stares, but people generally didn't mind us walking through and scoping out the scene. We also met a few rogue roosters.
