SHUT UP EVERYONE! The Vietnamese people are nice! the only problem here is in here, in Vietnam, the real problem is property theft, corruption and bribery. In Ho Chi Minh City the only crime areas are most of the poor areas. where all the crime takes place. Meanwhile, the city is very safe at day and night if you walk in the big streets, if you walk in the alleys then your chances of being a victim may increase. The parks too. They are safe 24/7 so no worries, everything is going to be fine. I've lived in Vietnam through out my life and I had no problem living in the city. Racism is a no no here. I never saw racism in the city. Meanwhile, insulting in here is quite common. Being attacked is rare here, as there are security guards and police everywhere. Drugs, very rare. currently there seems to be no drug dealers here because the police are always on watch. Vandalism is quite common. I see graffiti everywhere, even on buildings and walls. Besides that, Ho Chi Minh City is a wonderful and beautiful city. And i would like to rate in terms of raising a family here as a 9/10.

My Comments is that be very careful with the GRab motorcycle driver. the Driver of Grab snatched my mobile at around 3Pm Sunday 11 October 2020, while riding his vehicle. The Grab Support team of the company identified the details of my booking but until now has not acted to catch the culprit,I trusted Grab for almost 4 years and in other countries this never happened to me in a broad daylight, only in Ho Chi Minh City. I reported the matter to the police at #39 Huynh, Tinh Cua, Cong An Phuong 8, Quan 3 HCMC>

I also inform GRAB that I don't need any suspension of the driver, just return my mobile because all my valuable information is there. I dont know what is the disciplinary actions to be imposed to the driver . but this is part of the GRAB obligations to serve its clients.

If this happened to me , then it will again happen to some passengers.

Shut up Gabby, and quit blaming the victims. Asia is the most racist place in the world. It's funny that people say USA, Canada and UK have an issue with racism...NO, these are the most tolerant and accepting places in the entire world.

If you want to experience REAL racism, go to Africa (especially South Africa), Indonesia, Vietnam, Japan, China, and some parts of Brazil.
