This is my last post, which was posted in Jul 2015:
Last Post
It's a bit surprise for me that quite a lot of C Hings are concern about my plans and keep asking me to update. Maybe quite a lot of HK C Hing did wanna go alone, but afraid of being treated badly. I hereby apologise that as I was too busy, I did have too much time to do homework before my arrival in HCM City.
However, this post is finally updated now...........AND, YES, I AM IN THE FRONT LINE NOW, REPORTING TO ALL OF YOU.
1. Visa
Quite a lot of C Hings may notice that you can apply your visa by going to the Embassy in Tin Lok Lane between WanChai and Causeway Bay. However, because I am lazy and I was out-towned already when I think about my visa application. I finally do it ONLINE. Just search for "Vietnam Visa" in Google and you can have lots of travel agencies in Viet handling the "Touch Down Visa Application". I have tried. Total cosing me USD15 online (by Paypal) + USD45 (paid when you are applying the visa) + USD5 (just as absent minded as I did..... forgot about bringing a photo for your visa application). How long does it take? 20 minutes ALL DONE!!!
2. Exchange
The Exchange Rate in the airport surprise me a bit. It is not too much difference as I think........USD1 = Viet 22140 in the airport; Viet 22250 somewhere near the Pho 2000 & Pho 24 around the HCM Train Station. Try to provide them USD 100 / USD 50 for exchange. Otherwise, you might face a lower exchange rate. For example, from 22250 to 22240.
3. Massage House & Beer OM in District 5 around Fortune 2 and Fortune 1
I am staying in District 5 but not really right next to Fortune 2 for Fortune 1. But I did walk around 20 minutes from my hotel to Fortune 2, and then walked along to Fortune 1. Maybe it is too early (12noon to 4pm), signs with word "massage" did show, but seems that they hide the gals at the end of their shops. And, maybe it is too early, Beer Om cannot be identified.
4. Booking of Fortune 2
I did want to stay either in Fortune 1 or 2 before when I was planning my trip. Unfortunately, it is not shown in websites like Bookings.com. I have talked to the frontdesk about this and they said that actually it can be booked by using emails. PM me if you really need that, or you can simply GOOGLE it online.
5. Transportation - taxi
Taxis are really cheap, and size does matters here. If you take small taxis like Honda Jazz, it is cheaper. However, I did have an experience that I paid them a V200,000 note and they have not enough change. Thus, please keep the V10,000 as much as you can if you taxi often.
6. District 1
I was dropped somewhere around Liberty 2. A few massage house around. Normal room charges V250,000 and VIP room for extra 50,000. No idea about the tips. (Yes, I know Austin and other C Hing did post before. I need to do some homework minutes later.)
7. Stocking in District 1
No idea. A bit dark. From foreign webpage, it is noted that "USD100 for all room charge, and 400000 per hostress. All you can drink." I doubt about it.
8. CLUB VIC
Recommended by Austin. Doors not open but with lights. I was there around an hour ago but just outside the club. Will make a try again tonight.
So, C Hing, this is my plan tonight:
1st choice - Club Vic
2nd choice - massage house / Beer OM around Forture 2
3rd choice - W@CH@T
4th choice - being crazy and open a room in Forture 2 KTV by myself
Wish me luck, and see you guys again in this post in the coming few hours.
P.S. If there is any recommendations to me or questions, please post it in this thread. I am with my cell phone that can access the thread with no limits. Cheers!
