Saigon: Best place in Southeast Asia for cheap love
For a night out with a potential life-long love in Ho Chi Minh City, love birds have to shell out around US$35, while in Singapore a date may cost them at least $80.

The findings were based on a cost of living index updated recently by Expatistan.com, a database that compiles the global cost of living.
Date nights may be even cheaper in Hanoi where living costs are 2.62% lower than in Ho Chi Minh City.
Instead of cocktails, Ho Chi Minh City is also the cheapest place for beer with half a liter costing just US$1.5.
However, if couples fancy a date at an Italian restaurant with appetizers, a main course, wine and dessert, then watch out, Ho Chi Minh City may not be a good choice, take a look at Manila instead.
It seems that residents should choose their dates carefully, and marry young. It's cheaper that way.
Recently, Vietnam was named an ideal place to be in a relationship, with a new regional survey naming Vietnamese among the most satisfied lovers.
