Slow is because the custom staff delibreately do his work slowly. Just not happy that he has to work for low salary. They start asking many questions and check your entry requirements again even though it was already checked by the counter earlier. When they speed up, it was super fast.

Unfortunately these 2 observations are their norm at their airpork for their airpork staff especially customs retailers or those dependent on tourists are happiest when tourists return but these customs guys are farking dulan their laid-back CBL days are over once tourists makes a return at the airpork as it just means more work for them at the same salary

Nobody check for covid test result at airport gate. Only check in counter will check. Even custom also didnt check.

For health declaration, just take a pic of the QR code. They just scan it and its enough. They wont go and see what you declared, only till when someting happens and its needed.

Overall i would say its really easy for entry and exit, if u are holding sg passport. Vietnamese coming into sg have to show a pile of documents at check in and it takes a long time for them.
Custom queue for entry wasnt that long, but can be very slow. Slow is because the custom staff delibreately do his work slowly. Just not happy that he has to work for low salary.

There's a whole list of approve clinic hosp on their vn health website. I was at d7. So walk in to fv hospital. This hosp more ex. 500k for art. No q. 15 mins later issue u a test cert.

For u...

To be on the safe side.. . . U go to https://vncdc.gov.vn/danh-sach-cac-don-vi-da-duoc-bo-y-te-cho-phep-thuc-hien-xet-nghiem-khang-dinh-covid-19-cap-nhat-den-ngay-22022022-nd16854.html

U check the list.. thn u ask Vietnamese or hotel staff etc, which one is the closest to u. . If can't, in your google map. U search hospital. . Check the nearest 1 against the list provided on the website. Just to b safe. Like some of the bros say, each counter staffs might ask for slight variations of items. To b safe. Got black n white. They LL.

Lastly. . . Whoever travel, pls bring some art kits along. Ownself test before u go test at hosp. The worst case is u kana n don't know. Later u go hosp n tested pos. I dunno wht is their protocol

everything is open in little tokyo, but customers are lacking.
Mainly because almost all available customers are expats working in hcmc. And recently there is decline in expats going there due to the alarming number of covid cases daily.
For the bar patrons, they usually only start coming around midnight onwards.

The trick is that you will see sexily dressed VBs lounging or sitting on those barber chairs either taking a nap or playing with their HPs and practically no hair littered on the ground + no or very little hair cutting tools/things lining the mirror counter unlike those real saloons.

Bro Snipeshot08, I hope u r just kidding right & not meant to mislead newbies coming to HCMC.

Newbies, please do not simply walk into any HTGD hair salon as what Snipeshot08 described just because there are girls sexily dressed taking a nap or playing with their mobile phones.

Those budget BBBJ places disguised as HTGD are concentrated at specific places only. The one I know are along nguyen phi khan street. 400k, no shower, lower ur expectation so u won't be disappointed.

There is another type of hair salons u see on youtube where all the pretty girls sitting in a row dressed in same looking sexy dress either in red, blue, pink or yellow color. They are pretty faces with cleavage for u to look at & that's all. These joints used to be located at cho ben thanh but no longer there, there are a few opposite Pullman Hotel if u want to try.
