VietnameseBriswell Vietnam World Cafe 2022 – Cheap trip in Saigon
It’s been a long time since we held a company event at the office.
Many staff is working remotely, and the work environment for employees has improved but decreased the opportunities for casual conversations and questions. That caused difficulties to build relationships compared with before.
In particular, I felt that the distance between new employees and the remote work staff mainly did not shrink much.
So we held “World Cafe” as a company event at the office.
This will be discussed in a team using a brainstorming style along with one theme. However, instead of continuing discussions with the same members, change the members in the second phase to get new ideas. And then the members move back to the original team in the 3rd phase to discuss and brush up.
The theme this time is “A two-day trip with a budget of 1.000.000 VND for foreigners, which is not written in the tour guide”
We chose a theme that is easy to discuss because the purpose of this event is to improve their communication skills and participants from all departments, including administrators, translators, and developers, join.
The result is below.
For your information, “1.000.000VND” is a metaphor for being cheap, and only those who have experienced it know whether “1.000.000VND” is really enough or not.
We will not compensate for the amount or feasibility, so please do it at your own risk.

Welcome to busy and bustling Saigon.
For a 2-day tour, we planned a trip that everyone can admire and be fond of the cultural diversity of Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC).

Being a dynamic and crowded city, stay services are always available for anyone. Finding about history, we can visit museums or discover cultures via sightseeing at antique pagodas.

Team 4: Do Tiep Khuyen – Dang Thuy Vy – Tran Tien Vinh – Pham Huu Duy – Dang Minh Dat
HCMC is a large area of entertainment, shopping, and dining and is very suitable for tourism, especially for foreign tourists.
You can come to HCMC any time, especially during Christmas or New Year holidays, because the activities are diversified. But for the best experience, I suggest not to come in the rainy season.
Because the traffic density in HCMC is quite crowded, it is advisable to avoid peak hours. To save money, we can travel by bus, or rent a motorbike or bicycle. Cyclo is also a vehicle that is quite popular with foreign tourists because it is also an interesting vehicle, so try it once.
With a 2-days-1-night trip, I suggest places not to be missed in the morning when you first arrive here, such as visiting Notre Dame Cathedral, the City post office, or amusement parks like Dam Sen, Suoi Tien, and Botanical garden. At night is the time when activities in HCMC take place most excitingly, interesting places can be mentioned such as Nha Rong Wharf, Landmark building if you are a sightseeing person, and night market if you are an enthusiast. Eating. Nguyen Hue Walking Street, known as the “paradise” at night in HCMC, is also a place not to be missed.
We can visit historic sites such as Independence Palace and Cu Chi Tunnels on the second day. These places keep a part of the heroic history of the Vietnamese nation.
In addition, this place is also a place where people from all over the country gather, so the cuisine is also vibrant, including “specialty” dishes such as bread, pho, beef noodle soup, sticky rice, etc.
Finally, the indispensable part when returning from travel is souvenirs. Small gifts such as coffee, coffee filter, conical hat, and shrimp chips will be significant because they bring many unique characteristics of Vietnam.
