The name reported is not a Vietnamese name. Maybe they pronounce it way too wrong.

She is one of your fellow country woman... her name could be Tran Thi Thuy Ngan... (common sense? isn't it?)...

That's correct.

Couldnt guess this name at the first point.

The name reported is not a Vietnamese name. Maybe they pronounce it way too wrong.

For whom travelling to Vietnam, especially Ho Chi Minh City, please remember not to wear your handbag over your shoulder when you are walking on the sidewalk or on a motorbike. Because by doing so, there's a high risk your bag could get robbed by robbers. Hold your handbags tight or hide them where strangers cannot reach it when you are on the go.

In Hanoi, if you wander around the Old quarter and buy stuffs there, remember to bargain haft of the proposed price first, then going up.

If you walk in the Night Market (Old Quarter, open every weekend nights), be highly careful with your belongings. There're many pick-pockers there.

If I remember any other scam, I will let you know. ^^ (I am a Vietnamese.)

OMG!

That's why I am told not to go out alone after 7-8 PM. Full of rapes and robberies on the road, especially near alleyways.

And for foreign women who look like Thai people (Chinese, Filippino, Singaporean etc.), you shouldn't wear clothes which show even just a little bit of your bellies, or your shoulders. There's a high risk that you would get raped.

And if you show your belly on the road, and you get raped. The police come and they will protect the man, not the girl who got raped, because showing belly means that you're some kind of prostitutes. <noted for Asian women in Thai only. If you are Westerners, it's okay for you to show your bellies on the street>

He should have had money in his head, not in his heart.

May he rest in peace.
