Hi!
Can anyone recommend a good/cheap photocopy shop in D1? I brought back some paperbacks that I want to copy for some friends. One place quoted me 200k which seems steep when they're 75k on BV.
Thanks!

$200,000VND per book to be copied???

Laughing

Get a VNese friend to take the stuff to a copy shop and check prices, and not in D-1 either!

I recently did a 164 page textbook with plastic covers for 18,000VND. At that rate your 200,000VND novel would have to be over 1600 pages, so unless it's War and Peace better follow the Professor's suggestion.

Also, if you find a good place with good service, stick with it. I am quite sure that I am not paying a foreigner price at my place because I am a regular customer and I am always pleasantly surprised by the prices. In fact once when I was short of cash, the owner just told me to take the work and come back later.

The streets surrounding any university should have a couple of copy shops. Good advice to get a VN friend take it in.

I'm going to check out a place on Ng Van Cu, just haven't made it over there yet. A VN friend also offered to help, so might try combining tactics.
