Ho Chi Minh City - General Info

[QUOTE=Wendella;1333839]. What is NQ? Not sure I heard of that one.[/QUOTE]Ah ok, NQ, got it. One of those street names that I never remember.

Question: there are lots of cafes all over in that D5 and D10 area on certain streets: Vinh Vien, Hoa Hao, Su Van Hanh, etc. They all have plenty of hot hostess / waitresses in skimpy outfits serving customers and often sitting with them. My question: if you visit one of these places and one of these girls sits with you and is friendly and fun, what's the expected tip, about?

Obviousbly if you think you have a chance with the girls you can tip up to 100-200k which I have seen done numerously. But I doint have the patience to chase these girls. I find diamonds in the ruff

Hi,

First time in Hoh Chi Minh, staying at the renaissance, any tips for action around here or get a girl up to the room?

So I left feeling like either that was not how it's done there or else that my tip was too high. But from what you say, its totally in line with what should be expected. I was there again today and left 30 this time.

I will be in Ho Chi in a week any advice places?

Hi there. Enjoy your visit.

Some advice. Only get in Vinasun or Malinh taxis including at the airport. Don't assume traffic respects one-way streets. Smile a lot when you meet people.

Thanks to the all the reports here I've had some fun at the obvious places like Ben Ny and in K-Town but also found these to be somewhat mechanical experiences. I haven't hit up any of the HBT billiard bars mainly because it seems kind of ridiculous to me to pay those prices in Vietnam unless you're only here for a short time and confined to D1.

I've also heard from a lot of people that it's very easy to meet "normal" girls here both in person and especially online on sites like VietnamCupid or Tagged. And it does seem to be very easy to fill up your calendar with dates this way but so far all the girls I've met this way seem to be interested only in finding a serious boyfriend and getting them anywhere near bed is actually more work than was back in the good old USA The younger ones in particular seem to always live with their families and are subject to fairly strict supervision. I imagine they'd be pretty willing if I was willing to give them the impression that I wanted to play boyfriend with them but I feel bad misleading them like that.

So is there some trick I'm missing here or are these hunting grounds just not as rosy as some claim? I'd like to meet some <30 girls looking to make a little extra money on the side without a lot of relationship pressure.

D1 Priceing.

Cafe sua the at the cofffe club, NYC or window 4 etc type shops-long time since I been but I'm guessing 50-60K get a coffee and full stop.

D10 / D5 local pricing.

Now you get cafe sua the BTW 25k. 39k. 39k was the highest I have seen and the shop had ugly girls tho they were busty and long legged. But lets say the median is 30k for a young pretty girls to sit and chat with you maybe some innocent touching. Possible to court but ultimately a waste of time unless you invest time and or efforts.

Very local pricing. Edge of HCMC.

100k gets me 1 bottle of water, a 22yrs old girls who would look very passable if she were to wear makeup but still very cute to BBBJ cim with me fingering her deeping and massaging her tits, then afterwards I visited the now hard to find HJ cafe om. Where I got a sting sat wiuth a busty see cup 20yr (who could easily work at a cafe in d5 / d10) old who spent the first 15min touching me and finally when she touched my penis from outside my shorts she finally decided to sit on my lap, next I was fingering her wet pussy, sucking on her nipples and french kissing, she then unzipped me and gave me a HJ but because I had cum before ididnt release. Over all the drink was 28k and I tipped 50k, I wanted to test the maket maybe next time ill just give aeven 100k, but the way I see it a girl giving a BBBJ cim deserves more than a girl giving me a HJ, I try to be fair kekek. She had also just come up to hcmc only 4 months. Thats not my dream thats my reality.

Anyway just a comparison for you guys who want to hang around d1

Your best best is girls, students whose families remain in the countryside or another province while the girl comes to the city to work or study. Also, there are big employment centers around town hiring for factories and other jobs and there are lots of women around there, often around the street to eat fast street food. Places like that have been happy hunting grounds for me several times.

Thanks for the info JD. That makes sense.

It's not so easy living here sometimes seeing so many beautiful girls every day that are out of reach. Much easier in this respect to be in the West where so few women are worth noticing.

Hanoi was much worse in this respect though, in my limited experience, so I guess I should be happy to be down here.

There are semi-pro ish girls on tagged. If you play the chatting up game, where are you from, what do you like doing, will you teach me Vietnamese etc then you will end up with girls who want to date you. If you are a resonably good looking guy then most of these chicks will go to bed with you after 3-4 dates but only if they think they are the only one and you will be hanging around for a while.

My advice is to simply message on tagged saying you are looking for a girl to hang out with will be a friend with benefits, most will act shocked and might ignore you. You will find a semi-pro though in the end.

Sounds like my experience with online dating here exactly. Very easy to meet girls that want to chat for hours online, go to movies, and dinners, and nothing more unless they think you're up for a real relationship. I know some people here that get a lot of girls like this into bed and then blow them off but that's just too much drama for me.

Better to do as you suggest I think and offend them up front if necessary to weed them out.

What are the current pricing on Ba Vi? Is it still 125,000 and 500,000?

[QUOTE=TenSamurais;1344033]What are the current pricing on Ba Vi? Is it still 125,000 and 500,000?[/QUOTE]

It's VND 150,000 and VND 500,000. It was never VND 125,000 to the house, price went up from VND 100,000 about a year back.
