It's a dangerous world out there.lsutiger9904https://www.blogger.com/profile/10557286627737438219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5360730797032089159.post-49747212965646227282011-06-09T23:05:12.234+07:002011-06-09T23:05:12.234+07:00Great Post! I have had a necklace snatched off my...Great Post! I have had a necklace snatched off my neck while driving once. They guy hit me in the chest so hard to get my necklace (a cheapy fake gold chain) that my first reaction was to hit him back! I punched him in the face so hard I had his teeth marks on my hand! He even dropped my necklace! Mind you I remained on my bike the whole time.<br /><br />I also had my work bag stolen out of my bikes basket while I was driving a few weeks later. Unfortunately it was the one time I actually had a little bit of money and my ATM card in my bag. It really sucked. My husband was actually right behind me on his bike when it all happened and took off after the guys. NOT a smart move. they usually work in teams and will knock you off your bike if you chase. they were much to fast for my husband, and got away, and fortunately Gavin was safe and sound. <br /><br />Remember this does not only happen to foreigners. I have watched Vietnamese women get robbed right in front of me, and know plenty of Vietnamese people who have had their computer bags and purses stolen while driving. I also have hear about many cases when the people have died due to falling off their bike as they're getting robbed. Recently that happened to a RMIT Student.<br /><br />Always watch your bag here! But I agree, don't hide! get out there and do stuff, just be smart about it!Nelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17862050900705483529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5360730797032089159.post-1898611756846874872011-06-07T13:42:40.636+07:002011-06-07T13:42:40.636+07:00Oh - and also - no plastic.Oh - and also - no plastic.Xeomphohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02702851923532595512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5360730797032089159.post-57142898956117724542011-06-07T13:42:03.571+07:002011-06-07T13:42:03.571+07:00Ah well - Vietnamese money is all paper.

There are coins around up to 5,000 dong (29c) but they're rarely used. When I do get a coin I usually leave it is a tip. I've got a small pile of coins in a bowl at home waiting for when I get my ceramic money pig (ARE YOU READING THIS HUSBAND!!!).Xeomphohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02702851923532595512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5360730797032089159.post-46525022701271944732011-06-07T12:59:02.778+07:002011-06-07T12:59:02.778+07:00Hoorah for lady pockets!
