How to make friends in Saigon


We have been talking about loneliness when you are abroad, let's now talk about how to make friends (locals or expatriates) when you're living in Saigon
Which are your best tips to meet people and to make friends in Saigon??
Thanks in advance for your participation
Hi:
My name is Frank and I live in New Jersey. I want to learn more about living in Vietnam. I have been told that there are americans there the teach english and I could do it there also. I did tutor in a learning center for a year after I retired from AT&T Bell Labs/Lucent Technology. Unfortunately, I am not a certified teacher but could work on that later. I was stationed in Bien Hoa in 1969-1970 repairing radios while in the USAF. It has been 40 years but do have some familiarity with the country. I'm sure there are alot of things a person has to be aware of when considering moving there, hope you can help me out.
Thank you;
Frank

Hi people
I'm a guy from Melbourne, Australia that is going to be in Saigon from 17th May - 24th May. I'm looking for anyone that has a couple of days free they could show me around places that an ordinary traveller wouldn't find. I'd also like to head to Dalat and down the Mekong Delta if you're interested, but haven't booked anything yet.
I'm looking for anyone who can speak English and Viet and in return I'll happily show you around if you come to Melbourne.
If you're interested, send me a private message.
Thanks,
Rob
