Apologies for the OOT, but here I know several could give a good advice.
If I can choose, should I go to Hanoi or HCM?
I read that the first is quieter and with less activity, but also with much less scams for tourists.
I would be busy at day for work, but free at night.
mod moved your post here so no longer out of topic...
You are going to work so your work takes you to which city...
Hanoi is the Capitol with all the grand old architectural buildings...and still can find fun but not so easy to travel around...unless you dun mind to hang around the bars in Old Quarters amd the lake Hoan Kiem...hanoi air quality os bad recently and raned second worst in Asia after Jakarta...
Hcm is more business centric and modern...travel is easier and shorter across districts...of course can access to night life and entertainment ust within the district 1...hcm air quality is moderate....

Is there an avenue for finding short term gf in HCM? English or Chinese speaking.
A friend asking me to go there there will be 4 of us. And turns out the one asking the group to go have no experience and looking for short term gf arrangements. Will be there for about 6 days.

Is this gwailo/foreigner sentiment a big thing in HCMC? I find the girls here don’t really open up unless you can speak Viet. Whereas in Bangkok, the Thai girls really make an effort to communicate even if they can’t speak English or Chinese. I have been to many countries and usually the girls can be charmed so long as you are funny, generous & kind but the Viet girls are like very guarded.
Also, is it the language or do Viet girls sound a bit bitchy & mean? I see more pretty girls on the street but they always sound like they are scolding their husband/boyfriend. Then they always seem to speak down to service staff. Not criticizing them, just wanna better understand the country.
Think is they feisty by nature, hahaha, fought too many wars already
KTVs are great if can find the right girl. So far, I have problems finding the right girl, seems the ktv talent pool in HCMC is a bit lacking, maybe the pretty girls all went to Singapore. Then must compete with the ktv regulars for the remaining hot girls. Always bump into China tourists at the ktvs & spas here, soon it’ll be like Bangkok.
Especially the Japantown area, flooded with china ones

I’m in HCMC now. Can’t really say got many scams leh. Maybe at the airport taxi area. Just don’t talk to weird strangers. The money changers can be a bit tricky, like to change the exchange rate at the last minute - went to Hung Long Money Exchange yesterday & got cheated of a measly $3, so sad that their reputation is worth so little.
In Little Tokyo, just look at the bar girls but don’t go into the bars. Supposedly got legit bars there but I can’t differentiate. I wrote a long post on Bong Lai Cac group so u can try that, they are legit but photos mostly edited so trial & error. If going to KTVs, watch out for unscrupulous agents. But so long as u control the spending, usually worst case is that the mami just show u all the plain girls & keep the best for her VIP clients.
