Some bars to stay open later to help economy
===============================================

Vietnam will extend opening hours for bars in some luxury hotels until 2 a.m. as part of efforts to boost a slowing economy.


The government “has agreed to let some hotels with four stars or more to provide entertainment services until 2 a.m. every day from now to the end of 2010,” according to a statement on the government’s website.

The Vietnamese government is trying to increase production and exports to help growth exceed a target of 5 percent this year. The US$90 billion economy expanded 6.2 percent last year, the slowest since 1999.

The Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism will select a list of bars that can stay open later, and the Ministry of Public Security will help with implementing the extended hours, the statement said.

Manila cheapest place for expats in Southeast Asia

MANILA IS the cheapest place for expatriates to live among major cities in Southeast Asia, according to the latest Cost of Living Survey from consulting firm Mercer.

Singapore, the 10th most expensive city in the world, still topped the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

Vietnamese cities Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh city ranked 58th and 69th, respectively, followed by Kuala Lumpur (96), Bangkok (98) and Jakarta (106). Manila was last at 126th.

In a statement issued yesterday, Mercer said Asian and European cities dominated the top 10 costly cities. Proof of this was Singapore’s three-notch improvement to become the 10th most expensive city in the world for expatriates, while Tokyo knocks Moscow off the top spot.

It said "significant currency fluctuations and strengthening of dollar cause major reshuffle in the ranking with Seoul dropping from fifth to 51st place as the won weakened against the dollar."

You travel here so much, surprised you didnt know that. Ever since I have been here, there has been a year on year price increase of 20% on essentials.

Some seasoned bros (e.g. SingViet) wud hv more insights... it's relatively cheaper to Sg, but not as cheap as other places... I somehow find CN is much cheaper. Anyone have a simple dim-sum (6 sets or plates) for S$1 before..?

Of course you can't compare the makan prices between CN and VN lah ...... it's only the airfare(Fuel surcharge & Security Fees) that's EX .
