A Singapore man found a WL in Singapore and make a date to travel together to HCM.

The guy and this WL check into a hotel and straight away go up to the room to have sex.

During sex; the gal politely ask the man to remove his amulet with the gold chain as she claim it is not good for her....

When the man go and too a bath.... the WL start to take everything and left.

The man lost all his money (US2000), laptop, phone, the amulet and the gold chain worth US1,500. (as the man claim), including all the man clothing and underwear was throw away....

The man call this Vietnamese lady I know for help at 2am........

------------------

I took it as a story as there are a few points I still pondering....

1. How this girl check in? If with her passport or ID can she ask to take back her ID....
2. They must have a lot of belongings.... and if that is the case how can a WL carry so many thing.......

But whether it is a story or not; brothers please remember we are foreigners in HCM..... be careful and be safe. Do not do thing to inflict self destruction.

The beer in Hoi An, VN is even cheaper at 30 cents per glass but run out fast. Certain food joints will also not sell you the cheap beer if you are not partaking a meal there.

From HCMC to border, takes about 3 hrs. :eek: The whole trip from HCMC to PP will be about 6-7hrs. Bus leaves at 12.30am will not reach border at 7am unless the bus goes around HCMC a few times or driving at a super low speed. The distance from HCMC to border is less than 200km.

I think there is a strict speed limit of 40-50kmh on the Vietnam side but presumably no such speed limit on the Cambodian side.
