Hey anyone can or has put together a data sheet on Saigon?? I will be there in July.

1. Vietnam is pretty easy to get laid. Being a foreigner gives you a HUGE advantage for lots of the hoes. There are plenty of clubs in district 1 (NOT all are hooker bars). Check out Lush and Gossip Club to meet some very sexy locals. The locals are also quite friendly, from my experience. In Lush, I met a group of people who invited me to their table and gave me free drinks/fruit. Overall I had a good night life experience in HCMC. Definitely go for HCMC though, not Hanoi.

2. The weather is harsh. Hot/humid. (I was there in April). Seems like no girls go out during the day because of the heat. However, night time is great, and the weather is pleasant. The food in HCMC is awesome. I ate lots of great street food. I also went to this awesome restaurant (sorry, i forgot the name), and had ostrich bbq for $5.

3. Not sure about apartments, but I'm sure they are cheaper than HK or BKK.

Thanks for the info Travolta....if anyone else will be in Vietnam in July, let me know if you want a wingman.
Later and wish me luck on the Vietnamese flag everyone.

THanks for the info Travolta. Did you feel that it was hotter than Bangkok?

Post: #31

No problemo. Saigon and Bankok are both pretty similar in terms of climate. I suppose Saigon was a bit worse though.. both are brutally hot during the day and unpleasant to walk around. Bangkok does have some nice malls that you can walk around during the day (solid day game spots, such as MBK and Siam Paragon) so you can at least catch some air conditioning in there. Thai food is also WAY better than Vietnamese.

I have never been, but for what its worth, my Dad said Vietnam has the most beautiful beaches he has ever seen.

And he has been almost everywhere.

I have to disagree with this statement. The beaches in Vietnam are nice. Nha Trang was quite beautiful.. but the beaches in Vietnam can not even compare to the beaches in Thailand. Koh Maak was the nicest beach I've ever seen, but from what I hear, the beaches in Thailand don't even compare to other places (such as India, French Polynesia, etc).

I enjoyed Vietnam, but overall it's a bit tacky. Thailand, for example, has a GREAT beach vibe... it's all about kicking back, getting high, partying, and fucking bitches. I thought the beach vibe in Vietnam was lame.. they are building enormous hotels everywhere and it looks like shit. In Vietnam they seem to care about 1 thing and 1 thing only... and that is getting as much money as possible from everyone (tourists and locals alike).

Post: #33

Vietnam just doesn't have the same vibe as Thailand, it's not as fun or crazy or vibrant, the people aren't as nice, the food isn't as good and the nightlife doesn't compare.

Post: #34

Anyone know any good, cheap hotels, even hourly ones in Saigon to take girls to. I am staying at an English Institute and they don't allow guests. Oh yeah..im liking Vietnam, sweet girls but I'm used to a little more Latin spice...=)
Got the flag...

Chemical O,

Would love to see some pics of the city and random shots of the local ladies if you can manage it.

All guesthouses, rooms, and 2 star hotels are cheap as fuck in Saigon and they are plentiful. Renting one for the night will cost a couple bucks. Don't remember any names but shouldn't be hard to find thm.

2. This: http://www.aftenposten.no/english/local/...633160.ece (read the whole thing, it mentions Vietnam)

Eh, i've dated a waitress (normal girl, no bar slut/ho in Nha Trang who made 40 euro's a month for 12 hours a day.

I gave 500000 dong to her because she was still studying at the same time, at first she refused to take it but took it when i pressed her a bit.

Cialis is like a viagra substitute? I wonder if that's what I had in Peru. I was in Mancora, had been sniffing coke and drinking heavily solid for 3 days, no sleep at all, just non stop partying, totally wasted. Pulled a local chick on night 2 of this binge, went back to her shanty town house in the slum area but she wouldn't let me fuck her because her parents and 8 brothers were home and she was worried about the noise / them killing me. I tried to leave quietly in the morning but her dad busted me and chased me out the house with a knife (he worked in the local market as a fishmonger). I went straight back to Loki and proceeded to drink rum crush cocktails all day by the pool. She called me that night arranging a meet up, took my Irish mate along and hooked him up with her mate. We were both in a bit of a state so he handed me some of the 'viagra' he had bought in Bolivia. I'm no viagra expert only second time I've taken it and first time I overdosed on it so couldn't enjoy the benefits of it. It wasn't blue or diamond shaped as I beleive viagra usually is but a small, red, love heart shaped pill. It turned me from a drunk, strung out mess into an absolute sex machine, I took the girl back to a private room and spent the next 8hrs solidly fucking her. No stopping, just non stop fucking, gave me so much energy and stamina, was the best sex of my life. I was told the next day from my mate he had the same experience and he's had viagra a few times and says it usually isn't anything like that, you'll have a boner but it won't increase performance or give you sall that energy. Could that be cialis?

Nope, Cialis is yellow and teardrop shaped. Don't know if it stays up for 8 hours straight - I'm not interested in banging that long - It does make you a bit hornier but nothing like you are describing. I think it does nothing for your stamina either, i still get tired quick. I never tried Viagra because i think its to strong for me. I usually bite a cialis in half and that's enough for almost 48 hours. ( getting up and staying up quickly, not a 48 hour boner ofcourse) Its great but mentally addictive. Once you fuck like a fricking pornstar it hard to go back to your normal self

3 dollars for a 4 tablet pack in the Philippines.

I use it sometimes because i'm so frickin' out of shape after 2 years of traveling. Will stop as soon as i hit the gym back in Holland.

I,m in Bolivia right now and i'll try to find the heart shaped ones, curious now

Post: #43

im tempted to buy some of this shit. i had an embarrassing incident that happened on my last trip and im not sure if i can live with another one of those performances!

Post: #44

Neil, try and find out what the heart shaped stuff is, like what the ingredients in the pill are not just the brand name. I'd be interested in stocking up, that sex was out of this world. I shouldn't have been in any fit state to even stay awake let alone get it up.

Post: #45

Neil,
I'm strongly eying Davao as a possible place in the UPI to spend 1-2 months. Since you've been there, could you post a data sheet on it please? Btw, I read your blog, good stuff man! Hilarious at times. In all those places you've been to, which was the best place overall? And in t terms of women and their attitude/approachability? Perhaps you could do a post comparing the top 2 or 3 between them. Just an idea man.

I am currently writing this post from Saigon.

I love this place. It's crowded, noisy and hot. It's polluted and a bit dingy. It's real Southeast Asia. The people are funny as all hell. They'll try to sell you anything under the sun but I find them genuine and friendly. Being a well put together foreigner gives you immense status and you'll have the pick of the litter as an expat.

Bangkok is easy to drop into and bang a girl the same night. Not the case here. The girls are sweet and shy... To pull a good chick you'll have to take her out a few times. Use natural beta game, be polite and chivalrous and it'll pay off. (the exact opposite as western game and the way it should be done)

Nightlife is fun here. A great place to check out is View at the edge of the backpacker area. It's on the 8th or so floor and the riff raff below stays out. It had several young expats and good looking western tourists as well as some local girls. The clubs are generally filled with (shorable) whores and it takes a skill to spot the normal girls. I'm not a club guy so I can't give much detail on that.

Online game is pretty good but most of the girls are 2 points below their photos. Easy to set up a coffee date with a cost of under $2. You could do 3 or 4 a day. Even the less attractive girls are a fun and interesting date and you'll learn a lot about Vietnam and enhance your social circle. I pipelined a girl who turned out to be a 5...friendzoned her and she's introduced me to many locals and expats.

I haven't gotten my flag yet as I'm only here for two weeks. I've been on several dates and the girls immediately want to know if I live here. I told the truth and could see their disappointment. You don't see old fat men with young girls and I feel there is no negative feelings toward local women dating foreigners. If anything it gives a girl status.

If I had the ability to do so I'd move here in a heartbeat. It's by far my favorite place in SE Asia.

These are upscale HCMC nightlife recs I recently sent out in a PM:

Pacharan (pre-game: Friday - second floor)
Martini Bar at Park Hyatt (pre-game: Friday, Saturday)
Xu Bar (main event: Friday, Saturday)
Blanchy's Tash (main event: Wednesday, Friday, Saturday)
Chill Skybar (check fb for nightly events)
Air 360 Skybar (brand new, check fb for events)
OMG rooftop bar (check fb for events)
Apocalypse Now (best after: Friday, Saturday - second floor)

Racked up about 40 notches in 6 months by frequenting these places alone. Hope they'll be of help.

Go get em!

I was trying to figure out a place to post my general impressions about Vietnam because I had gone on an 18 nights and 19 days tour of the country (in late January to mid February).

Surely my impression of the whole place was somewhat skewed by the fact that I went with my girlfriend who served somewhat (when she was willing) as my personal assistant and translator. She is a native Vietnamese speaker who is in her early 30s who grew up in the country (in Buon Ma Thuot) into her early teenage years, but had NOT been back to the country for more than 15 years.

We went on a tour for the first nine days from HCM to Hanoi (2 days) and passing through and staying in various other locations, Ha Long Bay (1 day), Ninh Binh (1 day), Dong Hoi (1 day), Hue (1 day), Hoi An (1 day) and Da Nang (2 days). Then we went to Buon Ma Thuot for 4 days and then to Nha Trang for 3 days and back to HCM for 3 days.

We rented several motorbikes in our last 10 days of the trip in each of three cities (Buon Ma Thuot, Nha Trang and HCM), so got to experience lots of aspects of the driving and traffic dynamics, country location and foods because we were both interested in driving around to different areas and trying out various foods - even if the experimenting meant that we ate 5 times in a day (which happened once in a while). By the way, renting a motorbike was generally between $5 and $10 per day, depending on location and how much you could bargain or whether the bike was manual shift or automatic.

I found that prices were really great, especially given the then exchange rate with the dollar (a little more than 21,000 dong). I am NOT sure how much my personal translator/ assistant saved me money, because frequently, she wanted to stay in the higher end hotels in order to get more luxurious treatment (so for example, we would stay in a $50 or $60 dollar a night location that was 4 or 5 stars rather than staying in a $20 dollar a night location that would have covered the essentials including air conditioning), yet many times, it seems that I was fairly spoiled by having her to spontaneously ask prices and to figure out what foods we were going to try out at any random location that we came across.

Sometimes, we were spoiled in some of the locations outside of HCM city because we would spend less than 100,000 dong ($5) on a fairly elaborate meal for the two of us, and then in some of the tourist areas of HCM city would have prices that were 2x to 3x higher (but still fairly reasonable compared to westernized prices). For example, in some areas of LA or even outside of LA if you try to get roasted duck, you will pay $30 or more for the whole duck. In parts of LA, I am able to find decent locations to sell me whole roasted duck for $17. In a place outside of HCM city, we bought a whole roasted duck for 180,000 (less than $9). We also ate dog, and snail and balut (duck in the eggs), and a variety of other on the street combination of dishes that included a large variety of cuts of meats (pigs blood, chicken liver etc). Also, I am used to paying between $1 and $3 per coconut in the USA, but in Vietnam, we would frequently find coconuts being served for 30 to 75 cents per coconut (6,000 to 15,000 dong).

I'm thinking that if I ever go back, I would probably want to need to learn a sufficient amount of vietnamese to get around to ask about the bathroom and prices and attempt to order off of the menu (if they have a menu) or attempt to ask what foods are available to order. Also, if I went back, I would probably attempt to find various local personal assistants/interpreters, by asking around. Girls seem fairly anxious to meet westerners, but I did NOT get to experiment too much with meeting girls since my girlfriend was keeping a pretty close eye on me.

Nonetheless, through the whole time, I did NOT see very many westerners with Vietnamese women, which saddened me a bit regarding some social stigma obstacles that could exist. We did spend a lot of time outside of tourist areas, and there seemed to be a few more Vietnamese women hanging around westerners in the tourist areas, but even then such hanging out did NOT seem too prevalent because I would see quite a few caucasian men that were with various shapes of caucasian women (rather than with Vietnamese women).

GF was NOT too affected by the stares of locals towards us, but it was clear that there were times when she was bothered, and we discussed some of this regarding her interactions with the locals. She frequently asked for directions and sometimes got into various conversations with locals and those conversations were frequently affected by the fact that she was with me. In some cities, including Da Nang, locals would do a double take when they would see me, and they would try to say "hi." I think that the double take was the most noticeable in Da Nang, yet my timeline was pretty short in each of the various cities... and accompanied by GF.

I am thinking that if I do travel in the near future to SEA locations (within the next 6 months to 2 years), i will likely go to the Philippines on my first next destiny. It seems that English would be a plus in the Phils - however, I am thinking that the weather in Vietnam may be much nicer for certain times of the year... and maybe learning some vietnamese would not be that impossible as it might seem to be in the beginning. I was pretty comfortable with the climate in various parts of Vietnam, but then again I was largely traveling in February.. hahahahaha.. which may be a bit non-representative.

I would like to hear about whether any other guys have had recent experiences in Vietnam to partake in a sort of overview traveling session similar to mine.
