All the seniors I have met so far have been very good to me and helped me to have a good time. I think many of the seniors here are very good people as even though they have things to enjoy in HCM, they are willing to help strangers.

But if newbies like me want seniors to help us, we should always be thinking about how we can give back to the seniors. I always offer to pay for seniors - this is the least I can do, after they have opened doors for me to dreams. If you are worried about budget, then negotiate beforehand but you should still respect the senior whether or not things work out.

You should also research on the senior in the forum to know what he likes to do in Vietnam. If you can't be bothered to spend an hour to find out more about the senior, how are you going to treat him when you meet him? Also, if your likes totally clash with the senior's, you will not be doing what you like and you won't enjoy your holiday.

If you want to avoid being cheated, then even more you should research. But have you ever considered that the senior also wants to avoid getting cheated by you? Seniors are in HCM to enjoy themselves, and they also enjoy good company, but who is going to enjoy the company of a selfish cheap skate who is too lazy to do his basic research, has never written a good FR or helped others, and stupid enough to think he can get Vietnamese models for less than $50.
