Re: Vietnam - HCM

To those brudders who are going to HCM. Note that the hotel rate is negotiable. Try to bargain for it. However, if it is a short stay (2 or 3 days), difficult to negotiate.

Also try to look at the rooms first. Ever stayed in one hotel their pillows got foul smell. Had hard time to sleep on it. Quickly changed to another hotel after that.

Pham gu lao is famous for backpackers stay. In fact, a lot of vietnamese will try to avoid this area. This is what I heard. Bottomline is, be very alert when you are there.

Have a good trip and great fun for those bros who are going.
