Me and twin, we took a weekend off and went to HCMC for "coffee".. well, that was the original objective.. until we got lost in bundles of beautiful scarves - duck, ariani, telekung SK etc.
Let me list down few tips from our trip:
1. From airport, can take taxi (Vinasun or Malinh), cost VND120,000 ~ RM24
Can take bus also, but i didn't check the price. You can see a short bus waiting outside the little airport.
2. Along Malaysia street, and in Ben Thanh market, RM is accepted. And in fact, cheaper rate using our money. So pls bring RM next time.
3. People here speak Malay language mostly. Even the little children selling souvenirs by the roadside
4. Never trust the trishaw man. He told us one trip cost "15 thousand".. but ehrn we arrived Saigon Mall (from Ben Thanh), he forced us to pay VND1,500,000!!!
5. Halal restaurant are easy to find, especially along Malaysia street.
That's all i can think of right now. I'll add if i came across more tips.
