Is the exchange rates better in SG or hcmc? Any recommend SIM card brand/plan to get?

It really depends how much you change. I ever try checking raffles place rates at lunch time and then evening time I was at district 1 within the same day. The difference only 1-2 sing dollar for that day.

Anyway these are the goldsmith shop i usually get my dong in district 1.

Hi guys...

Planning a trip to Hanoi, Sapa and Halong Bay.

I was having doubts about Halong Bay since there is lots of feedback on tripadvisor about overcrowding and rubbish in the sea.

Should I visit Sapa during weekend or weekdays?

Thanks everyone...

Research further, tripadvisor angmo some time very exaggerated.
Try travelfish, they travel a lot and give some good tips.

I went 3 years ago free and easy.

No rubbish in the sea. Very clean and nice scenery. There's no difference in visiting Sapa during weekend or weekdays ba. But there's a Bac Ha weekend market which I didn't go. Need to take bus from Sapa.

Go halong bay must take overnite cruise and take overnite train to Sapa.

My kids love Hanoi very much.

Hehe not just that...
Vietnam coffee drip drip drip takes 3 minutes for a tiny amount.
Washing the stainless steel dripper another 1 minute.

singaporeans no time to spend 5 minutes preparing tiny amt of coffee all drink 3-in-1.

While it may seem like a novelty for us to gift our friends, most of the time, the pack of coffee powder is untouched or not even half used. =)
