I am still in moderation, maybe by the time U read my message, many senior brothers would have replied to you. the info below are what I agthered thru reading the thread. I am trying to get out of Moderation

1. VND 80,000
2. Many. Caravell, Sheraton or "51" cater more to Tourist means expensive.
3. Tips about VND100,000 and above depending how much u like her service.
4. No Bar Fine, but up to the lady whether they like going out with you. Mini Hotel or Girlfriendly hotel are posted by many brothers here. Search for V.Killer's post.
5. again, no market price but usually start from VND1 million.
6. For shopping, start with 30% of their quoted price and try to close at 60%.
7. Do and dont? too many!! call the senior brothers here. be humble when you are getting around.
