"May 2023 Ho Chi Minh City 1" > 자유게시판

I'm heading to Ho Chi Minh City on Vietjet for the first time from Kansai Airport after a long time. The plane was less than 50% full, and I had a seat for three people, but I had it all to myself. We departed at 9:30 on schedule, and arrived in Ho Chi Minh City at 13:00 local time after a 5.5 hour flight. Immigration was super crowded and it took just under an hour to get through, but I only had to submit my passport and nothing else. My friend came to pick me up, so we went to the Caravelle Hotel in the city center. There were still as many motorbikes as ever, which was nostalgic. I unloaded my luggage and went to the currency exchange near Ben Thanh Market. This is the best exchange rate. But the yen is still weak. In the past, 10,000 yen rarely went below 2 million dong, but now it's 1.68 million dong. Moreover, Vietnam's economy continues to develop and prices are rising. The difference is definitely not as big as it used to be ???? Afterwards, I met up with my work colleagues and went to 4 Piece Pizza, a restaurant that is said to be popular in Ho Chi Minh City recently. This restaurant is run by Japanese people, so the employees are thoroughly trained and the service was very polite! Of course, the food was delicious ???? After that, I was tired, so I safely got a normal massage and headed to the casino in the hotel where I was staying! It's called Vegas Casino and is for foreigners only. When you show your passport at the entrance, you will immediately be given a membership card. Inside there were about 50 slot machines, two touch-type roulette machines with about 30 seats, and about 5 seats for a shady electronic blackjack. I think there were also a few seats for electronic baccarat. Only US dollars can be used. It's a very small casino, but it was full at 9pm! There were no vacancies at all for slots etc. ???? There were a lot of Chinese people in general, but there was a Chinese millionaire sitting next to me who was putting $100 bills into the roulette table like water, betting on a few points, missing, and then putting in a huge number of $100 bills again. I was betting about 6 points with a $1 chip at the table next to him, and I was painfully aware of the huge disparity. I put in $100, kept betting on random hot numbers, but kept missing, and in no time I was down to $40. I went all in with red and black and won, then I reduced it again and went all in again, and somehow I got $114, only a $14 profit lol The millionaire next to me had a big reaction whether he won or lost. Of course he did. He bets about $3,000 every time. Apparently drinks are free in the casino, and the staff frequently asked me if I wanted a drink. When I ordered iced coffee, I got an incredibly weak iced coffee. It was like coffee water. Anyway, I was tired, so I ended the first day with a fait accompli of $14 more.
