Errrr....i do have the number for their outlets...you can just call and tell them where to pick you up..they normally have many such vans around the whole country and they will slot you in on one that is along a particular route that is on your way..
BUT!!!
like what bro SingViet adviced.....and my own advice...'BETTER NOT'
1st you cannot speak vietnamese, thats the no 1 give away that you are not local and this will alert the pickpockets that ply their trade on these van-buses...even my wife's sister (vietnamese) is wary of such people when she takes such transports...needless to say us non-locals....
2nd, from HCMC to an giang is almost 6 hours travelling time. thats a long time for these people to wait for you to doze off and do their act...and they might just conveniently drop themselves off along the way..
3rd, langauge barrier la...like i said an giang or even the province is damn big...not like our geylang, jurong east or even ang mo kio....you need to know exactly where you want the driver to drop you off....even till today i dunno how to tell them...haha..
if you dunno then you might find yourself 'hollanded' and i can tell you...getting lost in an giang and getting lost in HCMC is two very different thing....
NO JOKE In HCMC, you can get help easily.....in an giang or cho moi or kien giang or wherever you intend to go, you will only find 0.5 out of 10 people who can speak english and even that half person's english is like your level of vietnamese....you get my point????
In the end, you might really give her a surprise...a very malu one where you call her to come find you at some ulu roadside cafe...
but like i always like to preach, the decision is yours, its up to you la....pm me if you want the number...
