Ok some tips for u...
1) Carry $50 notes. They fetch a better rate than $10 sg notes.
2) Near mobifone stall on extreme left, there are 3 money changers. I went to the middle one if i am not wrong. I got 1 USD = 21.769 while Benh Than goldshop was willing to give just 21.75.

Seems like you frequent vietnam a lot heheee

Air ticket around $100

Ya we are estimating it to be around 400, but will bring a bit more play safe in case got many things to hoot like bkk

Food wise not sure how much is the average there so we take bkk foodcourt and restaurant price as a rough reference.

Food wise can be as cheap as bkk or cheaper, even japanese food also cheap and a lot over there..... hoot? more like coffee bean or powder.... clothes at ben thanh or saigon square is expensive but still affordable for us, but to local we are carrot, do bargain.....a lot haha if go ben thanh , sugguest go morning and night one time, there a different at night is pasa malam.....

Ben thanh nothing much to shop. Overpriced touristy area. A singlet going for 40k, can sell foreigners at 200k

I prefer go Saigon Square. The prices cheaper. But the rule of thumb in Saigon Sq is that u pay not more than 65% of the price they quote u
