another note is don't eat the "banh bao" they got strolling around; its pretty much like a "cha siu bao" (mind the spelling guys lol) because most of the time its been sitting there for a LONG time and the sellers are cheap and don't throw them out but they wanna sell it to make the extra cash.
Learned it the hard way... made the mistake of eating one of those and it gave me a really bad stomach ache.
You can also get like a large bowl of pho for like 7000-9000 VND and 1 CD= 15000-17000 VND.... you do the math LOL | if the resteraunt/street guy is full of people you shouldn't be getting sick.
also you have to wear a helmet by law to be on a motorcycle.

just got back from nha trang and ho chi minh city a few weeks ago and absolutely loved it, except for the typhoon in nha trang when we were there but at least it was sunny the day we arrived, got to walk around the city a bit
ho chi minh is crazy busy and super humid when we were there but a great experience nonetheless...the conversion is crazy and everything is super cheap over there...hard to believe how far $1 CAD can go...
definitely would love to go back

what's it like to party in saigon? what type of music do they listen to there?
are there local clubs vs foreigner clubs?
how much do you usually spend during a crazy night out at the clubs?
are the chicks hot? are they slutty? (serious question) hah.
i only really go travel to party, shop and eat now, i don't really care about the scenery. unless it's something really special, like one of the wonders of the world.

Average night of partying you wouldn't spend more than $200 CD(and that's you buying everyeone drinks + food that's if you wanna be ballin)

i only really go travel to party, shop and eat now, i don't really care about the scenery. unless it's something really special, like one of the wonders of the world. | party is okay really they make u dance at your table not on the floor due to security reasons ( someshit guy got stabbed cuz he danced with another guys girl then they made a big deal outta it ) - listen to mostly techno and hiphop but theres other r&b jazz place ill never go to
some clubs attract mostly foreigners and wont let local guys but will let in "working girls" in to spice up the business lol
spending on drinks is up to you really, im not sure how much a shot goes but beer is cheap u can probably plaster yourself before u fork out 20 canadian
in general they are decent and somewhat slutty depends on what u want with them lol. the pretty ones cost more
