I was surprised at what a long way the city has come since the war - there are lots of chain restaurants, skyscrapers, and parks throughout the city. Perhaps the biggest cultural draw in the city is the War Remnants Museum. Outside of HCMC are the Cu Chi Tunnels which were used by the Viet Cong during the war, and also an authentic peak into Vietnam's horrid past.

Beer - Tiger and Saigon are Vietnam's local beers, starting at 25 cents USD for a glass.
