Back from Vietnam ~ a lot more to say
Four days in HCMC was fun! The first lesson I learned was not to trust taxi driver. The second lesson was to cross the road without checking right and left. I crossed as if there were no bikes and cars. The third lesson was never bargain unless you like to buy and must possess the goods. I was scolded by the staller when I found that the selling price was too high even after discount. The 4th lesson was to ask the price and bargain when you want to take a taxi, pay for a tour, buy bus tickets etc. They charged two price 1) local 2) foreigner. After 10 days in Vietnam, The best way to travel in Vietnam is go with a vietnamese friend. The 2nd is to travel with friend who knows vietnamese. The least effective way is to travel Vietnam with experienced travellers. Gagagaga...I am one of them (who had been cheated few times), I believe I can help you~
