We expect to move to Ho Chi Minh City this summer to live there for the next 4 years. We are well- traveled, love adventures, language, food, and are excited about immersing ourselves into the culture. We have 2 children ( 8 year old and 1 year old). I would like to choose the ideal district for ourselves. We are not the typical American suburb type. We love the urbane culture but are mindful that there are certain things that our children will need. Where is the most interesting place to live that will give us a real taste for saigon but will also allow us to get the kids to school and get to children activities whilst allowing ourselves to enjoy the history and culture of the place. While I am not totally against living in a cluster of expats if necessary, i would rather much assimilate with the local culture. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Also, we have a dog!
