fix pass: Power set to the shared country-prep sentence (Wikivoyage A/C/E/F and power-plugs-sockets.com A/C/D, 110/220 V). Affordable Shopping Spots, Street Food Stalls and Local Markets: Chợ Vũng Tàu moved off Xô Viết Nghệ Tĩnh, which the market OpenStreetMap page does not show, to Nam Kỳ Khởi Nghĩa near the bus station. Street Food Stalls no longer calls Nguyễn Trường Tộ a bánh khọt strip. Libraries & Study Spots dropped Lê Quý Đôn. Tech Repair Services, Best Local Dish to Try and Main Train/Transit Hub dropped Phường Vũng Tàu where the cited page does not show that ward. Museums & Art Venues and Religious Sites now take the street from Wikivoyage or Vietnamese Wikipedia. Accommodation says Pullman is near Bãi Sau at 15 Thi Sách, as Wikivoyage does. Scenic Viewpoints, Nearby Nature Escapes, National Parks Nearby and Best Area to Stay for Tourists reworded to what those pages state, including the Cầu Đá hydrofoil landing. OpenStreetMap cites that do not show the stated address removed from Accommodation, Must-See Landmarks, Scenic Viewpoints, Historic Buildings, Nearby Nature Escapes, Cultural Districts, Casino & Gaming Halls and Best Area to Stay for Tourists; Best Area to Stay for Digital Nomads now cites the beach pages that name Bãi Trước and Bãi Sau (en.wikivoyage.org, power-plugs-sockets.com, vi.wikipedia.org(th%C3%A0nh_ph%E1%BB%91), en.wikivoyage.org)
