I saw that people have been searching saigon and got my blog...i didn't really finish the saigon post...but well if you ask me i will say everyone has different encounter in saigon...we had a marvelouse time...got to admit that the reviews about saigon that we read before going did no justice to the place......it's a wonderful place and people were all great....
my 5 tips of saigon are :
1.Money: Dong and USD are accepted....
2.Hotel: there lots of hotels around...You get what you pay....you can even bargain to get a good rate....we only did booking for the first day...backpackers budget- Pham Ngu Lau street..please make sure you write the address and name of your hotel..cos they pronounce it diffrently...
3.Taxi : we only use vinasun as many guide book and review on people's blog.search for a dark green shirt with red tie guy...From the airport to ur hotel please take vinasun..it will cost you about 100,000dong if not like us we paid USD10..!!!.just walk out the airport and search for dark green shirt men who work for vinasun.
4.Buying stuff: PLEASE BARGAIN...!! i kinda think Ben thanh market is a rippoff...we bought cheaper souveniers at the post office and at a souviner shop near our hotel...
5.Food : most places have menu...as for halal food..there are plenty of palce to choose from..but do pack ur own food if you're on tour...
this is wat i can remember so far...will update later
