Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

do notice some bbbj shops at NTT is close..but shops at other streets still operate until 2-3am at the usual price of 200k in all.

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

from my knowledge is that almost all shops will accept RM..if u really have doubts then just change ur RM into Sgd or Usd..i dont think u will be changing a lot,if u r changing 1-2k,then most probably u will only lose out about 50-100k vnd which is only 5usd.but at least u can be 100% safe...:)

Once again, it ends with "police are investigating...." :D

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

hi all senior

what is the best way to bring 20000sgd into Vietnam? i think over 5000usd must declare. should i bring cash and declare upon arrival?

i did search and found that there are Citibank, uob and standard chartered. would it be better to open a bank accout in one of these bank and use atm withdrawal?

btw, Vietnam is my last stop. prior to that, i am going to china. so, i am also worried abt bringing large amt of cash out of china.

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

Bringing in the money is not a problem. If you leave with more money than you bring in, that becomes a problem.

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

I doubt you would want to declare SGD 20k to a bunch of opportunists in uniform. How many people are you traveling with to VN?

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

i ever brought 60k Sgd into Vietnam by hand without declare.

all is in 1000 note and just put into pocket and walk through custom...:D

i dont think u able to withdraw from UOB and Standard Chartered.

as for Citibank,i think theres no charge for overseas withdrawal if u r a premium customer.

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

raid also go mah...less people coming so less people compete with me for gals over here...:p:D

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

Not everybody as garang and as risk loving (read: reckless) as you lah. :D

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

Those that can "convince" the police, will be able to reopen their shops :D :)

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

Wow you are a rich man!!! :)

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

Very garang but dangerous thg to do...

Nvr put your money into luggage...scanner can detect
Nvr put money in your pocket cause sometimes they will search

I have an ingenious way but will not discuss openly in this public forum :D

Having said that, bringing money into Vietnam is less risky than bringing money out of Vietnam.

Discretion
 

That's right. :D

On a side note I think these days not much cheongsters have basic courtesy unlike the old days.
It's an unspoken rule that one should be discrete and seek the permission of the originator of the leads or FL contacts before sharing with trustworthy third parties.
This is call mutual respect between bros. :)

Re: Discretion
 

spot on .... exactly how I feel

Most pessimistic country in ASEAN: Singapore

Posted by Arno Maierbrugger on July 23, 2013

Singapore has been identified by a survey of market reseacher Gallup as the most pessimistic country in ASEAN, and not only this, it also ranks among the 10 countries worldwide with the most pessimistic people.

The survey’s methodology is based on representative questioning of people asked to rate the expected quality of their future live – in 5 years from now – and gives the percentage of those who rate their future more pessimistic than their current life.

While Greece topped the list of pessimistic countries globally with 38 per cent of respondents pessimistic about the direction of their lives, Singapore ranks 8 with 26 per cent of the people questioned saying that their are pessimistic. Apparently people also feel shortcomings in interpersonal interaction.

Gallup said that optimism is often found among those with low current life ratings, as is the case in less developed nations. In countries where residents generally rate their lives poorly, people tend to expect their lives to improve, likely because they cannot fathom their lives getting worse.

In countries where residents already give their current lives high ratings, people are somewhat more likely to expect their lives to stay the same. Technically, those who rate their current lives as high as possible have no chance of being termed optimistic, as their future life rating cannot exceed that score.

The above table shows the most pessimistic countries in ASEAN (percentage of the population that thinks their quality of life will become worse in 5 years from now). Singapore by far takes the lead, with other ASEAN nations being much more "optimistic."

Vietnam ranked joint last...http://investvine.com/singapore-most...ntry-in-asean/

Dear Bros,

Just to share:-

Back from a place name Catinal which just beside Vicom B Building. A pub/disco with some PR. Overnight of PR cost USD2xx which I personally do not think it worth it so I went back alone. Tonight seems to be very quiet. Even on the way back to my hotel, HBT shops seem mostly closely... I think raid these days must be quite serious and not pimps can been seen on the street...

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

...and welcome customers with opened legs....:D

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

Singapore men are like pest. Everywhere they go ; they will spoilt the playground before the next batch of brothers can enjoy the fun playground.

H88 told me recently his girlfriend's KTV got no business; he did not even both to ask anyone to go. Why bother..... it is other people business.

The "careless" or "Bo Chap" attitude will make the playground last forever.:o

If you bring one S$10,000 note ...okay lah can insert into ass :D

S$60,000 how to insert...unless you got a big non-virgin ass:eek:

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

Please take note.

A lot of money changer outside Singapore do not accept Singapore "$10,000" note.

Singapore rich love to keep $1,000 notes in their safe deposit box. As they are accepted worldwide.
