Motorbike tune up for secondhand bike by Claire_
I just bought a Yamaha Nouvo, second hand from a vietnamise man. Looks like a well looked after bike. Though it has a few minor issues and needs an all round checkup. I live in District 3, can anyone please recommend a good garage (where they speak ...
ssuprnova - no idea, I would think something is wrong somewhere with the bike. I checked it at a local mechanic (AFTER the servicing at the Yahama service center)and the mechanic said it's normal that the Nouvo 3 max speed is around 60km/h. Could ... Read More

I had the same issue. Bought a nice looking, used bike off from a local shop through the help of a Vietnamese friend. She's not a bike person so she couldn't tell what was wrong with the bike. First few days of riding the bike and I decided to ... Read More

Well, so far I found a few fishing clubs but all are in Vietnamese ... Google Translate deems a pretty decent job on the translation but some text just turns out terrible. I've been trying to decipher http://hoiquanbancau.vn/ since it's the ... Read More

Hi all I've just moved into D4 and am looking around for some decent saltwater fishing store. Can anyone recommend any? I checked out Saigon Tackle a few days ago, they have some decent Shimano and Daiwa rods and reels but mainly jigging stuff. ...
Thanks for the input Jim. I'm not too sure about whether it's ok to fish here in HCMC but I'm likely to plan a weekend trip to the Can Gio area for some fishing. Info for fishing fanatics - I was near Hong Bang yesterday and saw a few tackle ... Read More

3G internet speeds. by ssuprnova
Hi everyone, I have a question about the speed of 3G wireless data service in HCMC. What is the best provider in terms of reliability and speed *within* Saigon (D1 and D3)? Currently, I'm with Mobifone on their MIU package (50K a month, throttled ...
From what I know, the 3G in HCMC either works or is very slow. But then again speed is subjective. Are you trying to view a webpage full of images during peak hour? Nope, that's not a good idea. From my 2 weeks here so far, I've realized that - ... Read More
