I am in Ho Chi Minh now. About two weeks ago, I was just in Hanoi. I think Hanoi is better with more charm! Ho Chi Minh is more commercialised.

I live in HCM now. Pho 24 is pretty good, but a far cry from the best pho in town. Way too much MSG.

HCMC & Hanoi both have its charm. I like Hanoi weather and HCMC shopping. It's worth travelling to vietnam for a short vacation. The north have sapa & halong bay, the central have hue and danang and the south have mekong delta. Not forgetting the cu chi tunnel. C'mon over to VIETNAM and see for yourself. The charming VIETNAM.
