I will be @ HCM from 6th Sept ~ 9th Sept 13. (flight booked)

Stay @ A&Em 39 hotel. (Hotel booked)

Any brother around during that period of time can meet up for dinner / explore together.

Thanks
xe.com rate as of 20:55 hrs on 1 July 2013 is 1 SGD = 16,657 VND
That is the mid-market rate which you can conveniently use as a guide.

In HCMC on the black market (gold stores, money changers, Ben Thanh Market etc.) you will likely get 16,800 or so.

Bottom line: Don't buy VND in Singapore, you will always get a bum rate.
