The city itself is an experience, and if you can drive a bike or scooter, I recommend hiring one and explore the city on two wheels. The traffic in Ho Chi Minh is chaotic, crazy, shocking and all around one big mess, but in the middle of it all it\u2019s calm, serene and it just works. No one shouts, gets aggravated or causes accidents amidst the blaring hooters and a sea of fumes. Tourist attractions in the city are few, but if you are like us an interesting coffee shop or beautiful park is an attraction. We have moved into a house in the G\u00f2 V\u1ea5p District. This will be our home for one month, maybe longer; but we are trying not to get stuck here as there is still a lot of ground to cover.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finding Cloud Cuckoo Land \u2013 A travel blog by a married couple travelling through Southeast Asia Background Conrad &amp; Mareli&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":214,"featured_media":201257,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1114],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-201255","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog-en"],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":1114,"label":"Blog"}]},"featured_image_src_large":["https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ho-chi-minh-city-home-away-home-now.jpg",1024,689,false],"author_info":{"display_name":"Sue-Ann de Wet","author_link":"https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/en\/author\/sue-ann-de-wet\/"},"comment_info":0,"category_info":[{"term_id":1114,"name":"Blog","slug":"blog-en","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1114,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":1093,"filter":"raw","term_order":"0","cat_ID":1114,"category_count":1093,"category_description":"","cat_name":"Blog","category_nicename":"blog-en","category_parent":0}],"tag_info":false,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ho-chi-minh-city-home-away-home-now.jpg","fimg_url":"https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ho-chi-minh-city-home-away-home-now.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201255","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/214"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=201255"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201255\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":201256,"href":"https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201255\/revisions\/201256"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/201257"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=201255"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=201255"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=201255"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
