I've finally self-promoted myself to junior brother in Vietnam: found my first place offering FS.

Though I'd like to keep the place a secret so it doesn't get raided, i'll give a FR so people know what to expect out there.

The area I live in is often known for its prostitution, though I still hadn't figure out why after a few months here. Finally, a few days ago I was riding home at 11pm through a large side street when a few motorbikes approached me asking if I wanted a lady. I declined then since I didn't want to get robbed of my bike, cell phone, wallet.

Last night I left everything at home and went with only 500k VND in my pocket to said street. Found a guy who looked suspicious - was sitting on his bike trying to make eye contact with men driving by, occasionally smacking his lips loudly as a sign of hanky panky. I took a seat at the Pho noodle shop behind him and ate a bowl while watching. Turns out I was sharing a table with mamasan, a mid 40 year old, pale skin viet wearing a bright red business suit that matched her lipstick and thick foundation on her face.

She was holding an audience with one of her older male workers - about 40 years old, skinny, long hair, tattoo'd up male. The conversation was about him pleading to be the next to go to America since he's been waiting for his chance. She assured him she will do her best while carefully inspecting a $2 US note (rare and considered lucky by many Vietnamese).

After girls after girls were dropped off at the hourly hotel next door and I noticed one stunning girl among many fat and short girls. She was tall and white skin, wore black shorts, black top, black jacket which i guess was pleather. I decided. I inquired with a younger boy who was part of the gang:

400k for 1 hour, 700k for 2 hour, 1tr until morning.

I told him I don't want fat girls, i want skinny, young, pretty.

No problem he said. He'll get me his favorite - skinny and tall and pretty and 19yo.

Already the mamsan listening in our convo had called the girl and I was introduced within 4 minutes of starting the inquiry while finishing my noodles. She was a tan girl, about 5ft 2in or so. From the way she dressed and her hair cut she had the look of a girl who hanged out with local gang of young boys. Could be gorgeous if she properly polished herself up with hair, clothes, and makeup

When I paid the bill I noticed I had only a little over 400k, so I asked if room was included. He said no, but he'll make an exception and pay for the room for me.

We walked into the hotel together and they asked for my local ID card, which I didn't have. The boy said no worries, he'll register for me.

We went back and apparently all the rooms were taken except one which had just finished but not clean yet. A boy went in to clean with a mop and a bucket. Meanwhile, my girl noticed one of her friends working in another room from the chit chat going on, so she opened the door, talking to the couple while the couple were already in motion doing their business.


I'll fast forward through this part since it was the usually business, but a few notes:

-I shower alone while she wait on bed, no worries of her looking through my pockets since I had nothing, but it could've happened
-She wanted all the lights off but I convince her to leave restroom light on
-She didn't want to take her shirt/bra off because she was shy, but through the hour I got her to lift her shirt/bra, and eventually she was touching herself through our session and enjoying it
-Only missionary. Especially no girl on top after I tried convincing her. She said its not proper for girl to do anything else, especially be on top, that's the men's role. She seemed pretty passionate about this, and it didn't seem she was trying to lazy out of it.


After we finish, we left the hotel and didn't say a word to eachother - business was done. I went back to the pho place and just asked for an iced tea to cool down. she sat in the back and order raw beef, then called me over. she squeezed some lime juice on the beef and ate it raw. i use to eat that in america, but for some reason it grossed me out slightly this time . When she started to order her second plate, i decided to pay my bill and leave.

i said bye to the young boy and told him i'd come back and started walking home. when i got infront of the hotel next door after 5 paces, the drop-dead gorgeous girl in black pleather walked by me and went to the pho shop. I quickly turned around, grabbed the young boy, and told him i wanted her next time. after i got assurance from him that he'll call her for me next time, i skipped home gingerly anticipating next weekend

Should the Vietnamese government values usd more than vnd it is possible.
Unless Vietnamese government insist on using vnd to do transactions else it is pretty difficult to be sustainable at present prices as inflation is bound to set in.

Simple thing , the lower the demand for vnd , the weaker the dong.

Most bros here want a weak dong.

In 2008/2009 SGD1 = VND 9000.
Now VND 17,000.

I think the weaker it get ; the more spending power of all bros here.

having a weaker Vnd does not imply that people can have more spending power..in 2009,the exchange rate should be around $1 Sgd to 10k Vnd.but at this time,a bowl of duck drumstick noodle at my favourite shop in Q.4 is selling at 35-38k Vnd...now,in the year of 2013 when the exchange rate is $1 Sgd to 17k Vnd,the stall is selling 75k Vnd...

8 yrs ago-

100 Sgd - VND 950K
1 litre petrol - slightly under VND10k

Now

100 sgd - VND 1.7 mil
1 litre petrol - VND 22k

Please define more spending power.....

Hi Bro jimfairy, since this is your virgin trip to HCMC, it is better to stick to the discos and pubs in D1, as most of the service staff would be able to speak English. You can also click on TS's signature "Welcome to HCM Self Help DIY" for most of the answers to your questions.

1) In D1, you can go to Gossip Disco or Napoly. I find Catwalk to be a waste
of time and money.

2) Some 2 and 3 star hotels are girl friendly. You can try any of the 10
A&Em hotels(www.a-emhotels.com). I consider them to be cheap and
good, and they are near to Ben Thanh market and Saigon Square.

3) For convenience, you can book through the hotel website or through
www.agoda.com.

Enjoy your virgin trip to HCMC!!
