wah. serious? I paid in USD several times because i ran out of VND, they just act blur like got no change like that.
Unless u go to the higher end places where the prices are stated in usd.
Always use vnd or else they will shortchanged u alot.
Vnd is still the way to go anywhere even in atas places
