I just going for shopping, sight seeing & maybe sleep overs for 2 nights, how much $ should I carry with me?
Thank u in advance for your feedback & ideas.

Just to add on to the already good advices given.....
Do not bother about changing USD as SGD is very jalan in hcm as well. Even taxi drivers accept SGD from my only one experience.
Change $50 at the airport for cab fare to your hotel and then change the rest as and when u need for the day, all the goldshops u will see double as money changers.
For sight seeing, better to get those day tours especially if you dun speak viet. Even taking taxis can be a bitch cos more than enough of them dun understand u. Day tour packages and be found in most hotels or nearby if you stay in D1.
Alternative hook up with 1 of the bros staying in hcm to bring u ard also can.....this thread throw stone sure hit 1 stay/work in hcm......haha
For where to stay, where to eat and what to do, u can snoop around the relevant hcm threads for the tons of info
Lastly, after u change money, go support my thread by posting your rates n where changed.......HAHA!!
