Haha, yeah. its the atmosphere. Sit down with a bottle of beer, shiok.

IIRC the other time i went, we changed SING-USD-DONG. the rates were better. but of course, just do your maths and see if it still applies now.

now is SGD to Dongs better Dongs has depreciate alot against SGD... now 1 SGD ~ 16.5K Dongs and USD ~ 20k Dongs

Hey guys,
may I know about mobile service in Ho Chi Minh.
Usually you off your Singapore service and change to Vietnam's or else?

 

[chernhui]

Go to airport or Saigon square to buy 3G sim card cost around 100k. They also have micro sim. Change to the telco access point name, you can start surf net liao

 

[kondao]

oh, I see.
I thought maybe there will be additional charge applied. I always used prepaid SIM, recently shifted to data plan - so, I'm not familiar with this mobile service thing.

Jetstar is having the 1 for 1 promotion now. I am thinking to go for it

I have never been to Vietnam before, so will like to seek your advices.

If I am looking at a hotel; clean room, clean bed and bathroom. Nice location where transportation and food is accessible.
have such hotels to recommend?.

anyway, HCM should be quite an easy place for 1pax to travel right?

One pax is ok. but have to be very vigilant with your bag, esp sling bags. motorbike snatch thefts are everywhere! Try not to flaunt or use your expensive phones when you are walking!

Beware of taxi scams. i only took vinasun or mai linh taxis.

Accomodation wise can take ha my or a&em. cheap and good.

Look out for tourist police. light green uniform. approach them if you need help with directions or even crossing the road! But not all speak english!

And tipping is important. even in small coffeeshops or taking taxi.

Hope ive helped. haha

Just curious.

a typical 1st timer to Vietnam, where would u guys recommend to go?
I am trying to arrange a hotel most convenient to places I may be going.

Btw, I am targeting to go from 9-12feb. U all think its a gd period?


Cheers

Maybe u can consider hanoi. Just came back from hanoi. It was an awesome trip.
The weather was good, food was good, people we met are friendly.
Halong bay is a must to visit when in hanoi.
There are quite a number of places to visit in hanoi, haolo prison, hcm museum, temple of literature, west lake, and old quarter area.
I would recommend you to stay in old quarter. Central of everything and brings you back to the past.

Cheers
