We thanked God we got important informations just a few days before we flied to Ho Chi Minh!
One, about the taxi...
I actually had booked a taxi I found in tripadvisor... they charged me 15 usd one way from the airport to the hotel. Actually the hotel offered me transfer service, 20 usd one way! But then, I canceled my booking (my hubby has agreed to cancel it) and we decided to find Mailinh taxi by ourselves... and we found the counter! Praise the Lord!
two, about currency...
We cannot buy Vietnam Dong in Bandung, so we have to exchange money at Vietnam. Our friend told us that exchange money at the airport to get best rate... we proved that it is true! One more way to get best exchange rate according to our friend Ben, exchange money at GOLD shops on the left side of BenTanh Market... We really run out of VND and needed to exchange some more money, but it was Sunday at that time and the gold shops were closed :-( so we exchanged it at travel agent.... lower rate than we got at airport...
Talking about gold, I read somewhere that we can buy gold bullion because gold IRA is acceptable anywhere... but I think bringing bullion for vacation is a little bit dangerous... *grin* Well it is a great investment, but we still need Vietnam Dong in Ho Chi Minh...
