3. As for gf, there will not be a problem. After you arrive in HCMC, i am sure that you will spend some time roaming the discos and bars. In these areas, i am sure that you can find a live in gf very soon.

5. In your apartment, ask for satilite TV. You can get Channel News Asia, CNN, BBC , Star Sports etc. You need not miss out on these channels even if you are away from home. Also ask for ADSL internet connection in your home, you will need it daily to access this website.

I am sure that you will like it here with all the night life and gals around. Singapore is not so far away... just less than 2 hours flight. Cheapest airline ticket to singapore will be Lion Air, then Garuda Indonesia, Vietnam Airlines and Singapore Airlines.

Hope that these little information helps.

Happy Bonking in HCMC
Thanks!

2. While my company is covering me with insurance, what other specific insurance should I take up? Is there a need to go for all those hepatatis and malaria jabs?

3. Yeh... looking forward to gf.. Never really know the standard of the viet gals.. are they any good in the looks dept? Thought they all have the kind of gypsy look...

5. Well, if it is company sponsored apartments, not sure what is included. For sure, they are not providing me any laptops, so might have to bring mine over.. what about those electrical adaptors? And asking for ADSL and satellite TV from whom? I am just given a US$280 allowance for accomodation if the company is unable to find any for me. What standard of accomodation can i expect and do you know of any good lobangs?

only 2 hrs flight? I thought is around 3.5hrs? well, certainly looking forward to bringing the Singapore brand of "manliness" to the Viets...

Thanks and cheers!
