Any nice chill out place near Sanouva Hotel?
And what are the must-eat places? So far my research has told me that it's Quan Au Ngon and Lemongrass.. is it walking distance from the hotel?

 

[bluebluee]

its currently USD1 = 19600-19800 , not sure whats the SGD rate though

SGD$1 = 15000

 

[mangomilkshake]

SGD$1 = 15000

Is it considered high?

 

[Techadd]

benchmark it with the rate here -

http://www.vietcombank.com.vn/en/Exchange Rate.asp

add maybe about 200-300 dong from the bank rate

 

[delirium]

Is it considered high?

its about the same rate i had about 3yrs ago. then 100USD get be about 20000Dong.

but you can use USD in vietnam

my guess is okie

[AMajor7]

What is the fastest way for to and fro transport from HCM to cu chi and HCM to Mekong River Delta?

 

[takuyazzz]

i read earlier in this thread that there's this 3/2 street which is nice to shop. Is it within walkable distance from ben thanh? if not how do we direct the cab to go there? if i write "3/2" on a paper and show it to the driver, will he know?

dont bother, it's just one whole stretch of street stalls selling food, clothes, shoes, and what have you.....its a mkt for the locals....

the stall holders dun speak a word of english....so i suggest you give it a miss....nothing fantastic there....
