Saigon Secrets : The Spa Treatment
On the last Sunday we were here, Sara and I decided we just wanted to pamper ourselves. We had already gone for a Manicure, Padicure and Hair wash earlier in the day, and we wanted to do something else next. Now there are a few types of Massage places here in Saigon.

JJCM :- Hoa Vien Brauhaus, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
On Mac Dinh Chi Street, In District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City (aka Saigon), lies this little Jewel. It is a German Brewery that serves locally made beer in two flavors, Light and Dark.
