do i change all my currency to vietnam dong or should i change some to USD?
which would be a better choice?

Cheers
PS
Do not change to Dong outside of Vietnam as the rates are very very poor as the Dong is bascally a worthless currency outside of Vietnam. What you can do is change a minimal amount to get you from the airport to your destination. And the rest you can change in the city centre. Taxi fare should not be more than VND100,000 which is aporximatly USD$6

Just to give you a rough gauge.

USD$100 = VND 1.8 Mil (changed in Vietnam)
