That's cool - I finish teaching at 5 pm at 35 Le Thanh Ton St D1 - opposite Vincom Centre 1. I'll walk to Highland Coffee. It's about a block further past Ben Thanh market isn't it?

Hi聽 everyone,

I'm a new bee here and I'll be coming to Saigon next month to take a CELTA training course. Chances are I'll be around looking for an English teaching job somewhere. I can also teach computer courses as well since I had been in IT for quite some time here in the US. Any "surviving" tips living in HCMC? I'm all ears

Also, where would I go to get me a decent classical guitar?

Cheers,

Z
