Where to change CNY into VND at 11pm in Saigon?
Hi, Anyone knows which gold shop located in district 1 Saigon will be opened until 10:30-11:00pm?
I will arrive Saigon very late next monday, and I will go to Mui Ne the next day at 7:30 am. I have no VND, nor USD with me, I need to change CNY into VND.
I think, maybe it's better to change in Saigon than in Mui Ne.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Motorbike driver's license
What do I need to do to get a motorbike license? I know that tourists renting a motorbike for a short time don't need a license, but I heard that expats living here do need one. Can anyone give insight?

Malaria
So, we have found out that we are going to be living in Vung Tao, a beach city south of Ho Chi Min. We are going to be there for about 1 1/2 years, so I was wondering do we need malaria tablets shots? What other appropriate shots do we need to get?

Advice for buying a new Honda Wave?
I'm looking to buy a new Honda Wave Alpha.
The Honda website says that the "recommended retail price (including VAT)" is 12,900,000. I visited a couple shops today that quoted me 14,500,000 and 14,820,000 for the honda wave alpha.
What's the deal? I've heard that I should be able to get a good deal on a motorbike since sales are way down for the year and the dealers are desperate to make some sales.
Do you have to bargain pretty hard when buying a bike in Saigon? Are there certain districts where the price would be lower? Are there certain times of the year when the I'd be able to get a better price?
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Thanks

Basketball (Playing) Locations
Anyone recommend basketball places? Would like a more private place to practice work, on my schools, and then a good place for a good game. Now that I'm any good, but VN style of ball is no fun. More suited for Western "rules" and understanding. Don't mind paying a premium for both, having fun is important.
