Just wonder how many times your bx came to sin and how frequent...no way to just walk thru...single gal or gals in groups need to show they have enough money to spend for their stay and a valid hotel booking or address that is not in the vicinity of gl....

At least once a month and everytime she is using my home address. They dont even need her to show any money. Many times without any question asked. Sometimes, the immigration officers will just asked her how is weather in Vietnam? Maybe, my BX has a different look than the rest of the vietnamese ladies.

Attila Elizabeth is more suitable for a lady. Better alternatives are
Honda SCR or Honda Lead. Both are more expensive than Attila Elizabeth.

Just a minor update on my motorbike saga.... now that bx knows about it, she has been doing research (side note: there's this one guy who stays near my bx knows alot about motorcycles keep on trying to xian my bx... du ma!).

Seems like alot advising against buying Yamaha Nouvo.. both new and old. Apparently a very heavy petrol drinker. Was recommended the Attila but after test riding she say "too girly" and "too low" and "too weak". Troi oi. She wants a manly bike. Hahaa.

Anyway, now she's looking at some Hondas, I think Airblade, partly due to fuel economy.

Back to scouring the internet for me then. But thanks all you guys for the valuable input!

I'm riding a nouvo now.... According to my Hanoi friends, Attila consumes more petrol than nouvo.

Mostly they will send back on the next earliest flight...entering the plane last and sitting at the last row...

That caught my attention and that's how I got to see the marriage cert. I thought the marriage cert was 'made' in Vietnam until I saw the Singapore crest.


.. so the best way is to enter with a valid visa..

If it was my wife...... i would kick up a storm with the Authorities........ would not let the matter rest so easily coz it tantamounts to 'conflict' within ministries........ how can one ministry not give weighting for another's authority.

Regarding Visa....... if we do not require one to go to HCM...... is it not reciprocal...... hmmmmmm

At least once a month, from 4 days to 10 days. She only once taken SQ but was from Hong Kong instead of HCMC. The rest mainly are budget airlines including Lionair, Jetstars, Tiger.

Lucky might be but she certainly has a business person look.

These are known as "Aliens"...passport not stamped in Sin...their passports were handed by hand to Air Stewardess which was handed to ICA in Vn on arrival.

I guess it is not double standard or lucky. I believe that she has a record of only 4 - 10 days stay for each visit and there is no extention to stay for 1 or 2 months.

By tracking such history of visit, ICA may just identify her as genuien visitor/tourist. My bro's wife also flies to sillypore frequently with short stay. Everytime is an easy access.

1 more thing to note is that they are truely here as a visitor and not to work, they will have the confident to talk back when they are being suspected.

Hi all! I'm heading to HCM alone to unwind next week. I have a question, I know I need to change only enough dong for taxi fare when I arrive, what happen after that? Shopping, eating & chionging? Pay in dong, US$ or S$ ah?
I just going for shopping, sight seeing & maybe sleep overs for 2 nights, how much $ should I carry with me?

Thank u in advance for your feedback & ideas.

She has been doing it for 2 years already, only first visit got interviewed. Definately, ICA got double standard la... I never ever seen them checking on the Ang Mo, Korea and Japanese....

I swung by Caesar's last week to find the nightclub/disco section appearing as if it's in mothballs. Pitch black, not a sound coming out of it. Tables and chairs folded up and up against walls. This at 7.30pm or so. It may be totally closed, for good. It seemed to be by the looks of it.

Downstairs at the front desk of the hotel, the receptionists seemed to have a policy of 'no comment', pretending to at first think it was open, but when I told them it wasn't, then they suddenly didn't want to speak any more.

A pity if it's gone for good.

As far as I could tell, the massage and karaoke were still open, though it seemed very lifeless up there.

When in the city, make all payments in VN Dong. Change in the city, dont change at the airport. Bring SGD$1.5K should be enough. Change SGD$1K which should get you VND12 Mil. Ask for a mixture of VND50K, VND100K and a few VND500K notes.

Keep the balance SGD$500 as emergency. Dont change too much as the VND is worthless outside of Vietnam.
