An Phu (Thao Dien) is THE expat residential area in Saigon where you should find houses and villas for rent, international schools, restaurants... Located just about 20 min from downtown, it is a good place to live if you are looking for quietness. Most houses have a swimming pool and garden. Expats enjoy this area because it is like a village where your family can hve a rich social life and go around safely. Also it provides a wide range of services and products that will make you feel comfortable like home. For the French community, An phu / Thao Dien has become a priviledged place since the new French School (Ecole Francaise Colette) has moved to district 9.

Structurally, Vietnamese names come in a reverse order compared to Western names.

In general, most of Vietnamese names have three parts:
> The family name (equivalent to surname) comes first.
> The middle name (optional, but common) comes second.
> The given name (equivalent to first name) comes last.

This reflects an important difference in terms of philosophy between the West and the East: Individuality is considered as the core of Western society, while in the East, the community, particularly the family, takes the central position.
