My wife is Viet. I speak/understand some. In a taxi in HCMC, and the driver (thinking she's a working girl)asks her, "please help me make some more money off him." She didn't miss a beat, replied "you help kill him, and we'll take all his money" Needless to say, there was a look of astonished disbelief on his face. Then she lit into him. Felt kinda sorry for the guy, lol.

For a month, we got a 1 bedroom apt at Center Point soi 10, for just a few dollars (including breakfast & daily maid service) over what a airbnb in area costs.

Baseball bat, cricket bat(?), length of iron water pipe. Then use liberally, with much force, as needed. Sometimes, electricity can 'really' be your friend.

Thanks. I thought that would be the correct answer. This will help us plan. Now, if we could only get Singapore Airlines to answer us about changing tickets. Lol.

This was just our experience, on the 19th. I would say, YMMV. As with everything here, who knows how it would have been handled by a different immigration officer. This was our 1st entry in the covid era, and quite a bit different from entering Vietnam, a month earlier

Well, I didn't have my insurance document printed out, and we were taken aside because of that. Had it in pdf on phone & laptop. Took them a bit, but they printed a copy. Then he escorted us back to the immigration desk. That's when the issue of no reservation past the test & go came up. But, after I said we didn't know if we'd be quarantined, and were going to stay at the same hotel, it was no problem. (YMMV)

We entered 12 days ago. Just had the 1 night T&G reservation. Immigration wasn't happy with that. I said we have no future reservations because we didn't know if we'd be kept in quarantine. I said if we're released, we'll stay at same hotel until we find condo.
