Torrential rain floods HCM City
==========================
VietNamNet Bridge - Heavy downpours, which started at 13.30 on March 7 and lasted for nearly 2 hours, flooded major streets and roads in Ho Chi Minh City, causing traffic chaos at intersections and roundabouts.
Severe flooding was reported in Binh Thanh district, with many places on Xo Viet Nghe Tinh, Nguyen Huu Canh, Dinh Tien Hoang, Ngo Tat To and Huynh Tinh Cua streets between 0.3-0.5m under water.
The big rainfall of between 40-80mm submerged a section of road in front of The Manor high-rise building, causing hundreds of motorbikes to break down. Many hamlets in Binh Thanh district and districts No3, 4 and 7 were inundated, affecting local people’s daily lives.
The flooding also brought the traffic on major roads to a standstill. Many trucks and cars were lined up along Nguyen Huu Canh road, running at a snail’s pace.
Floodwaters receded nearly an hour after sewage workers discharged manhole gates and traffic returned to normal.

Think this rain was overdue because it is so hot in HCM around 33C.
Quite uncomfortable to go out in the hot sun...

went for some sight-seeing and shopping today ..
then drop by Lion City Cafe for lunch ...
very nice place with good delicious food ....
after lunch... we went to next door beauty saloon "Duyen Dang 2" for hair wash and massage ...
wow ... it was so relaxing and the massage skill was good too ...
best of best ... many pretty SYT's to serve u .... friendly and good service ..
abt 2 hour of service and cost only 80,000 dong ...
value for money ....
any bros can enlighten if it's true that these hotels rate is ard US$22 per nite ??
Bro adidas, glad you enjoyed the salon, it's also my fav salon in HCM. Its a must visit for me each time.. so too for Lion City cafe, do you noticed that the waitress wears SQ uniforms? hehehe....many hotel;s around that area but i think you will not go for standard rooms unless on budget, usually those nicer rooms/suite with balcony/jacuzzi cost about 70-90 US$.
I just came back from HCMC. Was brought to an interesting coffee shop. all the girls there syts and those serving at the table are wearing mini skirts.
The coffe shop is 3 levels and is advisable to sit inside level 1 near the staircase. Must I give the obvious reason??? Excellent UPSKIRT views la.... One of my friend a regular there even pulled a chair and sit right under the staircase and look. U see the girls walking upstairs and trying to cover their undies was so funny.
Location: 542 Cach Mang Thang Tam
Yupe tis one got many syt waitresses serving but food wise I still prefer the next door Nam Bo, 546 CMT8, Q3 ... which is also similarly large restaurant minus the syt. But tis place, u got to bring along ur GF coz the menu is in Tieng Viet.

... Will be there very soon and if near Ben Thanh Market, I will try the Tan Hai Long..
Another option u can try (if need be) is Hoang Hai Long Hotel, 52B-62-64, Pham Hong Thai St, Ben Thanh Ward, D1 (near Ben Thanh market) ... you can check out their website hoanghailonghotel.com. I visited my fren's room when he came for Christmas ... not bad.

According there are 3 such coffee shops with syts in mini skirts. The food at 542 Cach Mang Thang Tam D.10 is alright and reasonably priced. Can u believe this shop have a nightly turnover of S$10k+. Any brothers keen to open one together? Maybe we can have our girl waitresses in transparent undies. Cannot have them go bare or they might caught a cold down there.
Is it a coffee shop or restaurant specialise in grill/bake/roast?
The address is 542 Cách Mạng Tháng 8, Phường 11, Quận 3?

I just tell the taxi driver to go to CMT8 and I just follow the shop number until I reach 542. I think should be Quan 10. It's a big coffee shop 3 storeys and the food is similar to our zhi char in coffeeshops. U must try their grilled fish only cost 100,000vnd and 6 of us just managed to finish eating it. (Big Fish)
