Quick money question. The ATM just spat out a stack of 500k notes and now I am that person holding up the line at every coffee shop. The street vendors especially seem not thrilled. One lady at a fruit stall just shook her head and pointed at her small change box. Totally fair, I would not want to break 500k for a 30k mango either. Is there a trick to...
My Vietnamese is currently zero. Zero. I can say pho and that is about it. In Hanoi and Hoi An I figure I will survive on English and pointing, but we want to spend a few days out in the countryside around Mai Chau and Pu Luong, staying at homestays. For people who did the rural homestay thing with no Vietnamese, did Google Translate actually get you through? Ordering food,...
Je pars trois semaines au Vietnam en janvier et je me demande combien de vietnamien apprendre avant. J'ai commencé les bases mais les tons me rendent fou, je ne suis pas sûr d'arriver à quelque chose d'utile. En pratique, on s'en sort avec l'anglais dans les grandes villes ? Et à la campagne ou dans les petits villages, c'est mort sans quelques phrases ? Vous me conseillez d'insister sur les...
Planning an overnight cruise and I keep reading that Lan Ha Bay is the quieter alternative to Ha Long Bay. Same limestone karsts, fraction of the boats, better swimming. It sounds almost too good, which makes me suspicious it is just marketing. Has anyone done both? Is Lan Ha actually noticeably less crowded, or do all the boats end up in the same lagoons anyway? Also practical stuff: do the...
Flying into Hanoi in three weeks with my e-visa approval letter, and I am getting completely mixed messages. Half the blogs say a screenshot on your phone is fine, the other half say print it or the immigration officer will send you to the back of the line. What is the actual situation at Hanoi airport right now? Do they just scan the QR code off your phone, or do...
We are looking at early December, two or three nights in Sapa, but I keep reading it can get properly cold up there, like single digits and fog that sits for days. We are from the UK so cold itself does not scare us, but cold plus fog where you see none of the valley sounds like a waste of a trip. Is it one of those things where you...
Unser Hotel in Hoi An bietet kostenlose Fahrräder an und ich überlege, damit nach An Bang zum Strand zu fahren. Auf Fotos sieht das immer total idyllisch aus, Reisfelder, kleine Wege. Aber wie sieht die Realität aus? Ist der Verkehr auf der Strecke okay für jemanden, der in Vietnam noch nie Rad gefahren ist? Und was macht man mit dem Rad am Strand, gibt es irgendwo sichere Abstellmöglichkeiten oder klaut...
On veut aller à Con Dao depuis Vung Tau en ferry rapide. Ça prend combien de temps au juste, deux heures et demie ? Surtout, la mer est comment en octobre, c'est calme ou on va passer tout le trajet avec le mal de mer ? On hésite aussi avec l'avion depuis Hô Chi Minh-Ville mais les billets ont l'air assez chers. Quelqu'un l'a fait récemment ? Et une fois...
Flights to Phu Quoc in July are suspiciously cheap and now I know why. Rainy season. But how bad is it really? Is it the kind where it dumps for an hour in the afternoon and then it is gorgeous again, or is it grey and miserable for days on end? Mainly want beach time and maybe a snorkeling trip. If the sea is churned up and the boat trips...
Hallo zusammen. Wir fahren zu zweit von Hanoi nach Sapa und können uns nicht entscheiden: Nachtzug oder VIP-Schlafbus? Der Zug soll bequemer sein, dauert aber ewig, der Bus ist schneller, aber diese engen Liegesitze... Was mich am meisten beschäftigt: beide kommen gegen 4:30 Uhr morgens in Sapa an. Was macht man dann bis zum Check-in um 14 Uhr? Lassen die Hotels einen früher rein oder hängt man müde in der...

My thoughts on Nha Trang I’m just leaving Nha Trang after 4 days here.My thoughts on Nha Trang I'm just leaving Nha Trang after 4 days here. 4 weeks in Vietnam. I've loved every bit, except for Nha Trang. It's full of Russians, the signs are often in Russian.I never had a thing about Russians before this, but by golly, I've been bruised by them on the street, as they just push past you, no manners in giving (even a fraction), when pushing...+2
