Travel Blogs from Vietnam
Tu Duy
This is a top pick! ... all of us were into it, including a few of the neighbors. It turns out he's Chinese, about 47 years old and just moved to Vietnam two years ago. He liked it so much he sold everything and started a studio in Hoi An. You could tell he had ...
The secret of Monkey Island!
This is a top pick! Nha Trang was apparantly a rest and relaxation area for US soldiers during the war, and for good reason. The place is beautiful, and in addition to excellent local seafood there is a local industry of "fresh beer" which is served to you in gigantic two ...
Ho Ho Ho
This is a top pick! ... . Only problem now is that I am carrying round the equivalent of a library-worth of travel books. So are actually leaving Vietnam tomorrow after a great couple of weeks here. Thoroughly recommend it if you are thinking of coming is a great mix of ...
From the Mekong to the mountains...
This is a top pick! What a poetic title. I really should quit nursing and write for Hallmark... We jounced and jolted our way out of Phnom Penh to Neak Luong for the boat into Viet Nam. I can really feel what driving on the moon would be like after a few road trips in ...
Vietnam - HoChiMinh City
This is a top pick! ... friendly and honest than in the rest of the country, a sentiment echoed by many other travellers we had encountered throughout Vietnam. We were relieved that we could leave Vietnam with an impression of the country that wasn't entirely one-sided in the ...
Strolling in Saigon
This is a top pick! ... security. At some point maybe she'll love him, but it's probably never going to be the case. We will be sad to leave Vietnam because of the people. The place itself can be ugly. It can be amazingly beautiful and diverse. People do try and take advantage ...
Hanging out in Hanoi
This is a top pick! On arrival in Hanoi our bus promptly dropped us off just outside the old French quarter of the city. This is just inconvenient enough to warrant having to take a taxi into the district of the old city where all the guesthouses are located. Of course ...
Back to The Beach
This is a top pick! ... 1st August 2004 Now in Nha Trang...because its kinda convenient geographically, and everyone goes there. Described by Lonely Planet as "Vietnam's supreme seaside party town" I was kind of expecting Ibiza, but its a bit quieter than that Had acted as ...
Kite Surfing Beach
This is a top pick! Our next stop, on our way to Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), was a small beach town called Mui Ne. Pursuant to the travel book over the past few years this out-of-the-way resort has had a boom in construction, but remains a slow pace town with great seafood and ...
Bay Of the Dragons
This is a top pick! ... bill, probably as I hadnt booked my Halong Bay trip with them - didnt have time to argue, but realised later that nobody else in Vietnam was charging me this tax. Boarded the bus, which was a little confused, as a number of people who were due to go ...
Vietnam - Hoi An
This is a top pick! ... to buy an expensive tea set. We then did the typical tourist thing and bought a couple of conical hats - well, 'when in Vietnam!' Our 4 days in Hoi An had come to an end and we had to travel northwards to Da Nang to catch the ...
So Long Black Hmong
This is a top pick! ... a lot by the local tribeswomen trying to sell people things but at the end of the day they are some of the poorest people in Vietnam so we did what we shouldn't have done and rewarded some of them purely for persistence. Erica bought a bag off one of her ...
Jelly Ghosts and Future Hosts
This is a top pick! ... get it 30$ cheaper than we could book it online (note to anyone travelling on a budget somehow reputable travel agents in Vietnam can do just about anything cheaper than you can do independently hence the reason we have had organised trips to the Mekong, ...
Tourism - good or bad? Stopover in Vietnam
This is a top pick! ... in flirting with me than looking at my passport. Hmmm, this is better than Australian attitude. Tips for Travelling in Vietnam. OK, first mistake I made was to bring the Lonely Planet Vietnam guide book. I quickly looked through it on the ...
Cat Ba Island and Halong Bay
This is a top pick! ... silt-laden waters. The great river begins in China's Yunnan province and forms part of the international border between China and Vietnam. Once reaching the lowlands it spreads out to form the Red River Delta which then empties into the Gulf of Tonkin, ...
There Was A War Here - Apparently
This is a top pick! ... but I would probably swap the sales guys for mosquitos. Wednesday 27th July 2004 Today was the American War day (Thats the Vietnam War to you imperialists!). Went to the DMZ (Demilitarised Zone), which was either side of the old border between North ...
Good Mornin' Vietnam
This is a top pick! ... back tomorrow (is it any wonder) and Rorie was determined to find a home brew beer shop. They have spent 2 weeks in Vietnam already so know the score. We found one, the give away was all the desperate backpackers outside sat on the ...
Get Cape Wear Cape Fly
This is a top pick! We woke in our excellent hotel room (possibly the best value yet), I had a bath, and checked the score of the football. We did wake up, the endless excitement of the English National side ensured we were asleep again after 30 minutes. We checked out of ...
I couldn't Miss Saigon
This is a top pick! So, with Sarah well on her way back to blighty i continued my journey alone to Saigon. I endured a 10 hour bus journey, which apart from drinking with some locals en-route (always seems to happen to me) was uneventful. I arrived in Saigon in ...
Tours can be fun...Really.
This is a top pick! Reluctantly leaving the cool mountain air and opium-selling grandmas of Sapa, we had a half-day stop-off in Hanoi, and then were on our way to Halong Bay for a three day boat trip, which we had decided to do in a tour. Firstly, let me illustrate the ...
Tet
This is a top pick! ... the darkness of the new moon--the 29th of January. Tet celebrations are about happy endings and auspicious new beginnings. In Vietnam, everyone celebrates their birthday on Tet, so it's easy to remember someone's birthday: "Happy Birthday. It's your ...
Emmas in the sky with........ clouds and rain.....
This is a top pick! ... up but worry not, the photos for this entry are pretty much exactly the same. We thought "Oh yeah its summer now in North Vietnam of course it'll be sunny! AND the book says that between March and May are the best months to visit Sapa, weather wise." ...
A Vietnamese Rolf Harris - bonkers
This is a top pick! Our unexpected early morning call came at 6am courtesy of our crazy tour guide. By 6.30am we were down in the lobby tucking in to banana pancakes and omelettes (with a baguette to slap the omelette on?) We discussed how embarrased and disappointed ...
Our friends in Saigon
This is a top pick! Our return to Saigon was uneventful. We reunited with our host Allyson, and met up with our travel agent friend from STA Travel, Tina (the one who was kind enough to rescue us from the no-mans-land of Tay Ninh.) What follows is a brief photologue of ...
2 BGIs and one choco-banana pancake
This is a top pick! ... this city can make you forget you're in a Communist nation. We also met tons of people from all around the world; Vietnam is an enormously popular tourist destination. We visited the War Remnants Museum, formerly known as the American War Crimes Musuem, ...
A Return to Vietnam
This is a top pick! ... can say without hesitation, that I hate Hanoi more than any city in the world. Absolutely. I should point out that I enjoyed Vietnam during our first 3-month journey there. Hanoi was hectic, but we had time to kill and got to hide in ...
Train and Ferry to Cat Ba Island
This is a top pick! The ferry ride was mildly pleasant. It was 30,000 VND for locals, 70,000 for tourists. Everyone once again ignored the no smoking signs on the small vessel, so we spent the end of the trip on the deck watching the islands roll by. As ...
