Around Binh Thanh District
Man, I can’t believe that I’ve been here just like a tad under 10 months and this is the 6th cold I’ve caught. I feel so utterly crap. I think living in Saigon, a city so densely populated makes it a heck of a lot easier to catch those nasties.
Yesterday I headed out to pick up some medicine from the local pharmacy. I just needed something to make me feel a little less crap. I even picked up some bun bao (pork buns) for lunch as well.
Anyways, I’ll leave you with some photos from around my area, Binh Thanh district. For those who are wondering, Binh Thanh’s about 10-15 minutes ride from the city center in district 1 by xe om (motorcycle taxi).

Hi Kham
I googled “Binh Thanh” today and your blog came up. This was my childhood town until ‘93 when I migrated to the US. If you have spare time please post more pics. When I feel that nostagia again, I’ll come back to visit.
I went to a school called “Trung Hoc Tam Vu” and recalled going to cram school across a bridge in Thanh Da area.
If you are still sick, get well soon! My dad thinks Pho Bo cures everything.
