#1 Posted: 19/11/2009 - 00:55 Hi, Me and my two friends are going to be in Ho Chi Minh for Christmas day and I was wondering would anyone have any recommendations of what to do? And more importantly where to go for Christmas dinner? Regards, Liam. |

#2 Posted: 19/11/2009 - 03:54 Hi Liam, I am in the same boat, will be in Hanoi for Christmas. I looked up the local Irish bar, if you get stuck you could try the one in HCMC: Sheridans Irish House, 19 Le Thanh Tom St No idea if its any good or not. |

#3 Posted: 19/11/2009 - 08:39 Posted from within Vietnam (why do we highlight this?).Just hang around the city or particularly the Notre Dame Cathedral where the locals congregate. Good for lots of pictures but bad for the lungs due to the traffic jams :-) ------------------------------ Vietnam Virtual Tour |

#4 Posted: 22/11/2009 - 01:13 All the 5* hotels will have special Christmas Dinner buffets, but they will be $$$. What type of food are you looking for? Plenty of good places to eat in Saigon. |

#5 Posted: 22/11/2009 - 16:49 Thank you for all your comments. I'm looking for a turkey and ham Christmas dinner, this is the traditional Christmas dinner in Ireland, and I think Christmas would feel strange without it :) what is the tradition in Vietnam? |

#7 Posted: 24/11/2009 - 04:36 Traditionally Vietnam is predominantly buddhist so they don't celebrate Xmas. But tell that to the hundred or thousands of kids who line up to see Santa. And I think I've seen more fake snow in HCMC than anywhere in Oz. Any of the larger hotels will have an expensive but delicious Xmas dinner. If you can't afford that maybe a cocktail at one of the ritzy hotels would be a lovely start. A walk down any of the lanes around Pham Nu Lao Street will flush out plenty of Europeans to celebrate with. Enjoy |
