While the Vietnamese currency is the Vietnamese Dong (VND), do take note that the US Dollar is widely accepted as the "other" currency in Vietnam, especially in Saigon. Therefore, you don't even need to change a lot of US Dollars to the local currency if you want to shop, pay for something or tip
Just for your information, the exchange rate is roughly US$1 = VND 16,000 (as of Jan 2007)

Whilst in HCMC we decided to take a 3 day 2 night tour to Da Lat in the highlands. We arranged this tour through BenThanh Tourist Travel Service located at 73-75 Dong Khoi Street, District 1, approximately 100 meteres along from Gloria Jeans Coffee restaurant.
The staff were very efficient and arrange the flight to Da Lat (40 minutes in the air), accommodation, a car with driver and guide to meet us at airport and take us on morning tours, plus the driver drove us to HCMC on the 3rd day.
Everything went smoothly, the accommodation was excellent. Contact detais as follows:

You must find the hotel fist. Don't let people introduce to you. Don't afraid of the many change if you got U.S.Dollars.
1USD=VND1,406,000. You can change evreywhere.
I lived in 'OSCAR' hotel, USD35 per night, very safe, and clean, service not good enough, but in the centre of the city.
The goods are very cheap, and the girl is beautiful, average incom USD50 are their normal life per month, but the telephone is very expensive, to HK 5 dollars per min

if outdoors or in a shop or house open to the street, you will probably need to mic your subject. This is due to the din of motorbike noise. When you get home, you might find all you hear on your tape is motorbikes. At best you might hear some of your subject, but at times drowned out by motorbike noise.

this is the arrival-departure card given to all passenger bound for Vietnam
this one piece serves as your document of entry for both immigration and customs
upon arrival, and on leaving the airport, you will be left with 1/3 of the card
which you have to surrender to immigration upon departure
