How do ypu guys rent a motorbike? Need to show license?

You need to let the renter keep your passport. Rental fees is about 120k per day, or $6. Licence? What licence? They don't care about licence. In case you get stopped by police, pay them 100-200k.

Recently I notice the hcmc international exit passport check queue is getting worse and it seems to be competing with bkk airport to see who gets the longest queue. As I stay near airport, I used to come in before check in counter close. But nowadays please do come early and I always see super long queue for passport checks.

I went there early this month. The stalls that sells chinese delicacy like shark fins, bird nests etc, still at the same spot. Cashew is quite common. I think the prices wont be too much different at any other markets.

Should be cheaper then Benh Thanh Market yea?

About 20-30% cheaper...

That's for sure. No locals will buy from ben thanh market. I myself hardly go there. The things there are at least double the normal prices.

Usually you ride normally like Vietnamese no one will catch you. I pass all the police a thousand times and no one catch me. Somemore I wear specs.
HCM traffic is bad but as long as you ride slowly should be no problem. HCM city the most can ride is 20-40KM/H. Dun expect to go so fast like in Singapore.

Was there 2 weeks back, I got lotus seed and dried jackfruit. The price is good. At the back alley, there's a stretch of food stalls. The corner one opened by Hong Kong ppl got great shrimp dumpling noodle.
