Fake Alcohol in Saigon by missmae
Were you ever served fake alcohol in Saigon or Vietnam? I had a Mojito and a Pina Colada at a live music bar in D1 and felt like crap the next days. My body reacted heavily to the alcohol. I use to have neurodermatitis and it breaked out last time ...
Want to be safe? Just never take a shot at bar, head to hotel to drink (althought it's probably more expensive, but safer). I've never imagined to inspect to every single detail to figure out the real and fake one. That make me look stupid. Read More

Long Term Motobike Rental including delivery? by missmae
So I decided to get my VN Driving License soon. However I would like to practice more on a moped/non automatic scooter like the Honda Wave/Dream since they use this for the test. Can anybody recommend me where to get one? I just need it for about a ...
Never use this service, so cant help :). You can bring it to a place offering "repairing service" = "tiệm sá»a xe" and ask them. Better to ask a local for help, since you're a foreigner, they may charge you a "beautiful price". For me, If ... Read More
