Interesting 1st time spending tet in hcm.
A lot of people...especially going to the temples and nguyen hue.
Jams in hcm just like the usual weekends.
Some shops r closed..but quite some remain open. Eating, drinking coffee and even cinemas are open almost as usual.
Guess it's starting to be similar to Singapore. .when tet comes more commercial and less people goes back que

Wetnam is quite safe and HCM too, I used to go wandering around alone there late at night last time before I met my SBF regular kakis and found similar interests group and after that they start to join me on my late night wandering around also

But I wouldn't advocate such as why take the risks when you could be safely tucked in your hotel bed with a SYT beside you......

- dun bring too much cash (keep hotel safe if too much)
- dun bring credit cards (if bring keep in hotel safe)
- split the cash into several pockets (some hide in underwear or socks)
- dun pay using wallet (keep spare cash in pocket for paying)
- dun bring sling bed
- dun bring laptop on the road
- dun bring tablet walking on the road

< anything else unnecessary dun bring >

If you asked the new Selfies Generation not to bring their HD phone or camera to tour they might get severe withdrawal symptoms

Just 1 note if you wana bring your HD phone (no need camera since your phone cameras nowadays are almost better than the conventional P.A.S. camera), make sure you have a lanyard tied to your pants to prevent pickpocketing and always take pics a distance away from the roads so they cant ride up to snatch it away from you

The joy of being with your beloved during the festive season can never equates to $$$$ just like the what commercial says "the feeling is priceless"

Just ask yourself this question if you are changing just around S$1000 for your trip, are you very concerned with the average "loss" of 3% to 5%? If yes than take a trip to-&-fro airpork to the $$$ changer if you have the time during transit if not then just bite the bullet since convenience & time may be more important to you instead

The exception is of cos if you are changing much more than the above as then it would make more sense to take the trouble liao

Have done my homework before this decision.

Tcss...but sometimes there r vb and their families who r different.

Bonking where..is never a problem.

I have to agree with you on this cause I consider myself lucky enough to met quite a few already

This is the law of probabilities, there are always some odd ones out there regardless of the nationalities

your case just change at airport...

Most foreigners are not aware that they cannot bring more than 15m VND out of Wetnam so if you wana change more, make sure you don't put all into 1 big stack as you may face problems at the scanning station if you are "lucky"

For me I always make sure I have at least 10m for my next trip as a just in case basis
