Hmmm, hi all. my first time going hcmc this coming 29jun - 22 jul. Going with a viet girl that i know here. but got feeling she's going to aeroplane me or scam me, so i prepared to jalan alone there.
Read that D1 near the ben thanh market is reccommend for newbies. Since i staying for ard 3wks, would there be any girlfriendly hostel/hotel which discounts good for such "long" period? Dont wish to spend more than S$300 on accomodation..
Also interested in those bbbj cafes/pubs, and love to try my luck with waitresses working in decent restaurants/eateries. Any such cafes/pubs/restos nearby? I think most of the time I would spending walking around, viewing hcmc. knowing new friends etc (however my spoken.written viet is 0.) if my viet girl aeroplanes me.
If possible, will appreciate any seniors wouldn't mind to meet up to show me around. I see this clones battle, i dont know who to pm or contact maybe except TS. Pardon me for these noob questions. I am excited to visit hcmc but other hand quite worried about scams and personal safety... Thanks for any help offered.
Hi, i think ur budget for 3 weeks stay in hotel at $300 is kind of insufficent.
Just thinking.
Not all girls in Chinatown but mainly old aunties can.
No young girls one ah ? Hmm that's new. It always seem to me that HCMC is filled with young ladies and as some seniors mentioned , easy to pick up without English. Do all of them look like brat pity or Andy liao?

I feel u bro.., i'm also going alone haha.. Do post ur experience here after coming bak.
It might be a challenge to find USD11/night hotel rooms in Q1.
Want to "try your luck" with waitresses in "decent" restaurants with zero Vietnamese?
That might be a challenge too.

wats more of a consideration nis nthat if nthis guy isn so budget conscious that he try a budget of 300sing for 3 weeks then he will never have money to woo a girl even if he has sufficient language skills

Hi bros, actually not on budget, I prepared S$2k,excluding ticket, but including hotel/hostel/boarding house, for my trip there. Normally when I overseas, hotels/accomodation I tend to skimp and try to save as much as possible, just the basic comforts will do. I rather save money for shopping food entertainment etc. $300 just a rough gauge as I first time going.
Language handicap is really unfortunate, so I hope for some guidance to areas which have people who might speak some Chinese/English/Cantonese/hokkien to try my luck. If not just go visit shoot-and-go places and many sightseeing, getting familiar with the culture and people there is also one of my prime purposes there. Sorry if I was not clear about myself. )
Okay. Shall learn this song before I head to HCM again.
So how do you learn this song? Youtube does not have this song with lyrics. So not easy to learn unless you frequent ktv and listen over and over again. Not all ktv in sg has this song. You can go joo chiat pub...I think pub 155 has this song. If you really keen to learn, go to vietnam and buy a karaoke dvd . it cost only 15K dong...
