Actually extreme is faster since people lazy to walk all the way

You will find very local pricing within HCMC

17,080 in Hatam

16980 at eximbank exchange at Tan Son Nhat airport on the left/right side of the corridor after getting the passport chop.

There is no need to fill up any immigration card prior to queueing up.

Took a vinaphone 5gb plan for 105k. Expires 30 days later.

Uber/Grab not too difficult to book from airport to hotel and costs 86k to Quan 1 (friday afternoon). However my driver did not update his vehicle model. A Hyundai i10 hatchback appeared in place of a santa fe suv. Lol.

Ridimg pillion on xe om is a must to take in the sights and sounds of HCMC and also to realise how skilful these drivers/riders are.

Also do try crossing a busy road as a pedestrian. It seems suicidal at first but you will get the hang of it.
