Yes accommodation is expensive
Shopping is expensive
Err contrary I find transport is also expensive. Not sure if u take the grab bike though
Food also expensive to me. One pho around rm8 to rm14 depending where u eat..but i was told, it's really cheapnif you dare to eat their local food. I couldn't stomach it.

Yes most of the time I was in district 1.

Been there like 10 times for the past 1-2 years

Ciplak good quality deuter bag rm 18 or 100000 dong.

But some of their tour is freaking cheap. I think 20 dollar for one day trip including lunch to Mekong delta.

yeah, i eat local food. 20k per meal, that's like RM3.50.

Transport on GrabBike. If you are on Taxi, of course it's a different story....

Not true, if only RM2k after conversion y go to Vietnam in the 1st place?
Salary for locals are really low, that's right. But for expat, it's not bad

Yea, expat pay is not bad, for my line of work expat pay in Vietnam is better than Cambodia.

Tumpang tanya ... If holiday kat HCMC, is there an atmospheric old quarter area to look out for, accomodation-wise ? Like when I go to Phuket, I like to stay in Phuket Old Town in the oldie worldie Memory On-on hotel.

Usually tourist stays at District 1. Cos most locals there can speak English. Once you go out....it's sign language. Hahaha
