Fucking Australian banks. I've been overseas for some time now and international transactions have worked, grab app has made several deductions.

Get to my last hotel. They attempt a prepayment of just under 300 aud. Bank denies transaction. No reason given. Fucks sake.

Fortunately I had my Transfer Wise card with me which worked just fine.

sounds stressful

I was definitely irritated. Then several other things flustered me afterwards. Not loving the vibe of HCMC so far. It's a bit much with gritty and somewhat sleazy undertones.
