My experience with the incredible Singaporean group on our cultural immersion trip was nothing short of amazing.
We delved into Saigon's charming old quarter, steeped in French cultural and historical heritage, and the vintage rickshaw ride was a delightful start.
The elegant colonial buildings in this "Little Paris" captivated us, and savoring French-inspired delicacies was a culinary delight.

The hidden alley, a treasure trove of Vietnamese fine dining, surprised us with its black pure coffee, condensed milk coffee, egg coffee, and delectable noodle soup.
Our adventure was filled with excitement and a happy spirit that made it truly special.
Trekking along ancient streets shaded by century-old trees, and witnessing the city's dynamic traffic, added a unique charm to our journey.
A memory to treasure!
