The regular Underground Bar for pre drinks, moving onto Royale or Rio or Volcano and usually ending the night at VIC. Girls wise, i think the girls here are still pretty much a bit kampong and "lian". They dress to the nines but they squat and take off their shoes when they sit on a sofa. That's the social structure here...still some distance away from lady like behaviour.

I urge more of our red dot brethens to go out more that the regular joints. If you really wanna explore life , then consider hooking up the expats here. Lush is a great hunting ground if you have a bit of personality and can hold a conversation. Japanese,Taiwanese, Korean, Aussies, Canadian, English are nationalities that have been back before to my service apartment. No need to go to dingy hotels and my door man always wink at me with a smile on his face. Seriously, break out of the Sing Mindset of only Vietnamese girls .

Well if you still need to have your fix, then be generous with them, afterall, volcano and Apolo are places like orchard towers(more pretty tho).

If want the massage like the way we have our tuina in Singapore. I think you will be disappointed in general. The girls who wanked you here can only make a 15 year old teen feel happy. But if you must go for the cheap stuff, go along nguyen phi khanh for their hair saloon. 100k entrance, 100k hj. You will leave in 30 mins. Little massage or what so ever.

Well, guys...Thailand is still the place for me. Vietnam is far 2nd.

Hey Tuyen,
Thanks for the insider track on life in Saigon. Just got posted here to work straight out of Paris. Still taking time to adjust into life back in SE Asia.

Have not been to places like Lush, and i seriously dont mind a place with a good mix of expatriates (im alone here).

Let me know if you like to chill out someday.
