Vietnam

Oct. 17 to 21 with family.

Bring this guide with you when you go to Vietnam 😊
-> Thank you - cam on
-> How much - baw new
-> Expensive - makwa
-> Waitress - emoy
-> Hello - xin chao
-> Go straight - di thang
-> Right - fai
-> Left - sai

It's a good shopping place, especially Ben Than market. My advice: haggle! Use the word 'makwa' a lot! And if you are given a certain price, offer 75% off and work your way up a little up to 60% off. They'll give in I promise you 😊

When dining in Saigon Cruise (especially the no. 1 ship - I forgot the name), take note that they charge entrance fee (my hotel advised me that there was no entrance fee) and they'll ask you to pay for those towels. Should you try the cruise? Trust me - you can live without this... better dine in Pho 24 (yummy 5 stars!)!

Go to Cu Chi Tunnel!

Try to dine in Black Cat - although it's hard to find. They are famous for their big and tasty burgers.

On whether to hire a van or not....- I suggest for you to take a cab instead from the airport to your hotel and from you hotel to the city's tourist spots. It is a lot cheaper, trust me. Choose those big vans (innova type) with cab drivers wearing neck ties (cab's name is vinasun). The only assistance you should ask from your receptionist is to write your itinerary in vietnamese.

Buy Vinamit! Yummy and good present for your family and friends back home.
