I think you dun have to buy anything yet.
Ur soon to be ba xa will guide u one.
If u r going to small town or country side, i think its gonna be quite boring one.

All the best and share with us ur experience when you are back.
Any samster's wife from ca mau?

I forget to state what I bought. 2 cartons of Heineken, a bottle of Double Black JW and a big bag of ice. :D After a few drinks it was easy to communicate with the old relatives and parents :D

i think u should worry about ur pocket instead.

let me share with u something,Vietnamese from Mien Tay are the one who most care about face.and if ALL HER RELATIVES are coming to look at u,then u better pray all those are old aunties and not guys.people there can start drinking in the afternoon,and hope that ur gal knows how to play tai ji.if not,even by drinking at home will easily cost 5% of ur budget.if all her relatives treat u like "endangered species" and wants to show their "care" for u by having dinner outside,then good luck to as the bill will be another 5%-10% of ur budget depending on wat food and drinks being ordered.

advice to u,try to siam any dinner or drinking session if its possible.bcos naturally u will be the one paying the bill.16.5 mills is definitely enough for 2 weeks provided if u consume most of the meals at home and restrict to limited drinking session at home.if ur gal or her family is those type that wants face and likes to show off,then maybe ur money will last u just for a week.

all these are speaking from my past experience,and i owe it to my wife's superb tai ji skills which help "saves my pocket".:)
