But of cos if you are carrying multiple boxes than good luck liao

Be careful. my BX lost the box in the luggage before. hahaha

Their customs are too unpredictable liao as most of the time (pre-covid) they dont even bother to look at the x-ray screen and more interested in talking to their colleagues or at their HPs at the EXIT area now in pandemic season they could be much "hungrier" given the dearth in tourists for so long

If your items are not bulky and doesn't requires check-in then it is best NOT to wrap it up too nicely & just place it normally in your handcarry or else they will say its brand new items and need to pay tax aka kopi $$

I always say, nothing in life is 100%/certain except death itself

Thats why vaccines efficacies have percentages as it is never 100% that it will work for everybody, worst still if u choose one that have only 50% efficacy like the Cockroach Vaccine

Why she still need the box leh??? Its her gift to somebody ah??? I always throw away the box the moment I use the HP as I find those boxes very tin-teh

BTW its always wise to never ever put valuables in any check-in luggage regardless of location as its prone to theft, thats why I have never had any check-in luggages before in all my trips to Wetnam, only handcarry, save $$$ also.....

recently too bo liao in HCMC.

One of the PRC infectious disease expert is saying any vaccine below 90% should not be allowed to use and the death in PRC should be closed to 10 millions in 2021. Many opting for non mRNA vaccine thinking it is safer......

was your friend tested positive with PCR or ART test?
from what i understand those who are infected and recover, cannot take PCR test for awhile. PCR test will still be positive but i'm not sure for how long.

myself got triple vaccinated and infected in Feb, ART test negative on day 6 but PCR test still positive after 1 month.

Eh u still there ah??? Tot u came back liao since Sinkie got biz.....

Those KNS Cockroaches up till today want to save face dowan to admit their Cockroach vaccines are worst than saline water, keep on lockdown until their peasants suffer like fark best part is keep announcing everyday zero deaths but kena pichak lobang by many relatives whose elderly parents stayed in those homes died and yet nobody will tell them the cause of death cos official standpoint is all Cockroaches will never be be able to be killed by Covid

All these stubbornness to acknowledge mistakes because Emperor Cockroach is hoping for a unprecedented 3rd term as Emperor next month

This is very true and is well-documented scientifically cos PCR is very sensitive and can still detect those minute fragments that the person still sheds periodically even thou already recovered but the period will depends on individuals as all differs from one person to another, some maybe 1 week some 1 month

Moral of the story is dont take PCR tests if u intend to fly out or come back, take ART tests still safer & cheeper

Summary of last trip. Food is really good. Girls quantity and quality is lacking. Royale for example only had 10 girls working. Catwalk not much better. Local Ktv is even worse. Sometime they bring in 10 girls. 70% don’t go out. A lot of the mummy said girls had gone to Cambodia and Singapore to work recently. If you need to change money don’t go inside Ben thanh market. Their rates recently can’t fight with the 2 outside. The younger daughter taken over and she is not as nice as the older ladies that run the shop before. Her rates is always lower than outside. If you tell them what you get outside, they will quickly matched it.
