Here, the streets are wide, and there's not a lot of traffic (except for the 12 lane freeway that runs through the suburb). Even so, bikes still get parked on the pavements - but it's much easier to walk along streets. District 7 has been described as a toytown - planned and built to be tidy suburbia (with Korean money) - but there's still a lot of life around.
Because this is such a big schools/expat area, there are shops with products like cheese, potatoes, and bottles of Rockford Basket Press Shiraz.
We also discovered this American wine (one for the film buffs):
After dropping off the key, we had a cultural outing to the HCMC Fine Arts Museum. The building itself is wonderful, and there is also some fascinating art work and historical sculptures.
We checked out a couple of bookshops and wandered around in District 1. We took a look at the rooftop bar at The Rex - but it all looked pretty quiet, so we decided to eat somewhere else. We caught the bus home, which was relatively easy and comfortable (and way cheaper than a taxi!)
In the afternoon we located a local brewery, selling Big Man beer, which is very tasty, apparently.
