Viet Nam, from March to April

In a surprise colleagues and the envy of mixed eyes, I'm a man carrying large packages, destination alone hit Viet Nam, 17 days.

In summary, Viet Nam is a very mature tourism industry in one place, one person alone, and there is absolutely no problem. From North to South, you will realize what is getting better and better.

Hanoi (29 MAR 26-MAR)

I am from Bangkok, travel in Vietnam Airlines planes, because there is no buy a return ticket, the ticket office counter also slightly delayed, they should not let me leave, ask me is not after back to China.

Of course, the last thing, I successfully got on a plane, just a piece of Chinese people's faces, it is difficult to enjoy more of the treatment of aliens, hang empty least simply on my a-Viet Nam, it is better to sit next to people's enthusiasm for help of Viet Nam, let me on the country's first impression is also not bad.

From Hanoi's NOI BAI airport to the city according to LP's introduction to travel in Vietnam Airlines of MINI BUS, but I haven't came out of the airport, MINI BUS soliciting a person USD 3.

We have to watch out for in fact they will want you to live their recommended hotel, on your own COMMISSION. More annoying is that they are not in your pick-up time to tell you, but has come to tell you, of course, if you do not want to live and Fu USD 10, the price is also mentioned on the LP, so nothing to eat dirt. The airport has a shop, the exchange rate is not bad, I then is USD1 = VND15750. Funny to say, I was in the shop there pick up a foreigner SHANE. He was a big heap of Viet Nam shield can't count, also asked other people have no exchange rate tables is that they fill in how many VND USD10 equal to, equal to the number of USD20 and table, but his Ireland cavity people could not understand, or my Chinese mathematics well, give him a few good money, also found that he didn't know how to get to the city. Then came a foreign woman asked to change money in Viet Nam, TAXI, the METER is ready with METER pricing, or first fixed a price, this series of questions to people engaged in Halo, so I offered to LP, a report, by the way, practise English. See me a pair of cooked books that door, SHANE asked would you like Chauncey. Pick a youban why?, at least back to explain that I'm not a man alone, you can also SHARE your costs, and reduce your costs, by the way, we can help each other to take pictures.

Hanoi accommodation is easy to get, stay in the old OLD QUARTER is a good choice, Kiem (HOAN KIEM LAKE).

USD 10 should be able to live is OK, I was so anxious to settle down and have not choosers, directly into the see of the first company in HANG BAC street of a small hotel. Although cut from USD 10 to USD 7, but later prove that this is my entire journey live worse. Down-flow pipe seems a little problem last night had the washbasins can drift out in some lettuce leaves and tomato skin, but also good bathing is no problem. OLD QUARTER there are many looks quite romantic places to eat, HOAN KIEM LAKE side there are also many, of course, there are also many local people like to eat snacks stalls, DONG XUAN MARKET is next to the night markets, one evening I and SHANE there than hand draw foot toss for a long time before I ate the most simple things fried rice with seafood, because they simply do not know English. Forgot to mention, DONG XUAN MARKET simply nothing big wholesale market, looks super terrorist, but to me this is not suitable for tourists, because nothing is worth buying, look things very simple. LP seemed particularly like about this market, even a local farmers ' markets to buy vegetables may be included in it, and then by my recent LP addicts. In the morning you will often see the head women's bread mobile mineral water asked you to do, is a landscape. OLD QUARTER there are many things by selling, broken down by type of streets around a particularly interesting, such as shoe Street, selling clothes of a street, a street of the package, and so on. I just spent USD 8 bought a counterfeit of THE NORTH FACE of the large packs, all the way back to always think fast variant but came back washed water should not falling apart, it is thanks to this bag, otherwise my shoulders may be destroyed, and no amount of massage is useless. In Hanoi if you walk, you can consider playing motorcycle and sit rickshaw, must be the owner doesn't allow it, they are randomly asking price, you can also from USD 1 to 5000 VND, certainly not compare too far away. If you find that your English is very bad drivers, it is best to use a pen to write down the price, I'll do a very stupid thing. That night to see the puppets from the HOTEL to the theatre but ten minutes, just a little rain, SHANE said to sit rickshaw, OK, ask price, the driver said that two people FIFTY, 50 thousand Viet Nam shield, it seems no more than in Shanghai rental start price a bit on the high side, but not outrageous. The sat. Later in the evening over LP, said what in the city nor the exceeding VND5000, day, and I think that the driver should say is FIFTEEN, which is 15 thousand, so I'll be off the Opera OVERCHARGE a sucker. (After another in Viet Nam, had something similar things, prove that I guess is Yes, eat a deficit long-Chi. ）

26/00 to Hanoi, settled after the day's schedule can only Kiem waterfront walk, take a look at water puppet show in the evening.

Kiem scenery, everywhere you can see some open space, by the Lake, open-air cafe Cup of coffee, some fresh air Viet Nam, have a look at the scenery, chat, even if it is to think of something good. NGOC SON TEMPLE is LakeOn the edge of a great attractions, a Red Bridge is often appear in the photo. The Lake of thang long look at the puppet theatre is a place, be sure to buy a ticket, it is best to sit in the first row, clear, and photographs will not be shot into a mind. Fares VND40, 000, sent a VCD. Chinese program, but the whole show basic is Viet Nam, introduction is in English, props, scenery is quite good, if you have Fireworks with English, we all see and know better. The Lake has a number of high buildings, restaurants, bars, sit down at the Hanoi old outdoors at night and don't have a flavor.

I stayed in Hanoi in three days, the first days, HA LONG BAY 2 days tour PERFUME PAGODA, the third day the city tour, evening you sit overnight train to hue.

Participate in the local travel agency tour, than it is to worry saving time may also save money. In the OLD QUARTER, full street is a TRAVEL AGENCY and similar services, so the more important it is to find a service quality is good and inexpensive. However, no personal experience is not know good or bad, it can only FOLLOW TRAVEL GUIDE. SINH CAFE is a reputation of a company, but in short I will HANG BAC Street saw six flag waving SINH CAFE, authenticity difficile. I'm sure that I didn't really go out SINH CAFE HA LONG BAY tour, because then I find myself more stupid, LP on wrote in HANG BAC SINH CAFE NO 52, so is there a PERFUME PAGODA of day trips and OPEN TOUR ticket. But until now I didn't ever understand that since I was in the LP on SINH CAFE TOUR of OPEN tickets, but I would never sit on the road too SINH CAFE own cars, even each time to confirm the vote is in SINH CAFE, one place for a company car. Only one thing is for sure, so I didn't go down. In the CHECK OUT, you can send the packet, the SINH CAFE where car anyway.

Day trip to HA LONG BAY is very disappointing, commuting took more than eight, the real sea including dinner boat at the time but the cave for four hours, but it is sufficient, because that day no sun, heaven gloomy face, shoot photos are beautiful, frosty, do not know what.

Arrangements for two caves and nothing to watch. I spent the entire USD 18, Viet Nam-the most expensive is the worst. Later I heard that people spend less money to participate in a tour of the officers, however, also a night for room rates, evening at the seafood, Le Zi Le nourishing. Hey, foot, but I want to be your expectations too high. Compared to the company of a colleague I worked a lot better, he chose to go there in August, are catching up with rain, terrible.

PERFUME PAGODA distance 60 km, Hanoi how to describe it, you want to sit in two hours, then sit for an hour's boat, to a small hill, and then climbed a one hour, you will see a large cave, there are Buddhas, we worship.

Individuals feel than HA LONG BAY fun much, of course, fame is not too loud that can easily be cut off if the only alternative. This TRIP I spent USD 10, SINH CAFE directly, heard of the HOTEL, you have spent USD 5. We are a small group, a total of eight visitors, plus two guides, so the locals also too human is not enough, not to we arrange boat tour and they wake up, then we went to a small wooden, husband and wife file boating. This is a very beautiful sea, the mountains, above also floating the drizzle, from time to time to see the locals worship before going to the big ship, waved, after all, the ship also sat down with its aquiline nose, big eyes of Western New Ah. When every single day, as is our temple, is full of believers, is hilarious. I chose according to LP specifically a lunar day odd, to miss the peak, or stuck in the River wasn't fooling. LP tips really, say you want to wear a pair of good walking shoes, if you run into a rainy day, the mountain road is surprisingly smooth. Everything has been said, in a non-stop on my way to see the wrestling, we fell first SHANE Regiment, the guy really miserable, straight yells hurt back, so that in the next days to do the n-th massage, stickers plastered, also change the stroke early and ran to the NHA blowing sea breeze to grieve. I am no where, saw victory, the hole is now, I know right, good thing I got up to climb faster, basically no one noticed that I have had, if not then I desperately rub hands dirty. Never seen the posture, the cave full of people in the temple, some people give money to rock rub rub then plug into joints, this can save a fortune, someone hands out, pick up from the hole in the top drop down of the water, this is a blessing to have children, very interesting. The mountain road is more difficult to walk, I fell again anyway, then walk in my neighborhood a Ireland youth and an old Mr. Japan also fell. True to our mission in 50% of the people fell, the strange thing is our tour guide was wearing shoes that are safe and sound. Japan's environmental awareness is quite strong. Wrestling Ireland people readily to hand towelettes throw Yamashita, Japan who want to stop all stop, sigh, Ireland still nonchalant. In the last mountain road fork at a Department of a TEMPLE, the Chinese word description of the Chinese culture to Viet Nam.

The Hanoi City's main attractions are the tomb of Ho Chi Minh, khu, Ho Chi Minh Museum, the Folk Museum, the temple, etc.

You can participate in the tour of the city tour, but on our own two legs, then appropriately played MOTO, own or you can go to compare free.

HuChi-ming tombs only open in the morning, the visitors very much, I went to the day when many people, the results row an hour more teams. Larger bags must be checked, the camera is absolutely not allowed to have such as airport security check, the check of the machine. You will see some neck hung up six cameras. At the door was also stared, a foreigner pants pocket look a little drum, the result is called Pocket out, there was a foreigner to sweater tied to the waist, it is not allowed. The whole process is very short, just follow the team around the field in a week, but visible especially Viet Nam people for Ho Chi Minh. In Ho Chi Minh Museum, saw several mainland tours, as if in the North Sea Group's mission, I simply followed the scrounge. Strange to say, in Viet Nam in other places I haven't see mainland tours, even the Chinese people didn't see, it seems that the Chinese tour Viet Nam, rarely go full. Ho Chi Minh Museum is closed at noon, I just ran out, I heard a Viet Nam MM explanation, for Viet Nam's achievements in particular proud now. Folk Museum from the city centre, I hit the motorcycle, motorized Tsai is a young lad, English is good, also seem read the LP, we follow the price on the LP, VND50, 000 round-trip latency increases. For those who like folk, here you can stay for a few minutes, I saw someone sitting in a small chair rightly see the video? The Museum has a partly OPEN AIR EXIBITION, there are some minority of architecture.

Hue (MAR 30-APR 1)

From Hanoi to hue, sat a night bus.

OPEN TOUR of PICK UP time will always be allowed, but do not dare to take risks in the event of which it on time, but late, was left to a stranger, wasn't fooling. Tickets on 6: 30PM, but in fact 7: 40PM to interview with all passengers, shake away shaky in Hanoi. You can stay in the HOTEL bus to pick up, you can also choose to confirm the vote of waiting, everything is very convenient. More funny is starting bus stop then, somehow, thought it was stopping the toilet, get car n people crowded in front of the run to the car, and the back seat and extremely disappointed. A foreigner even funny, yells, TOILET, JUST 2 MINUTES, unfortunately, out of 2 hours, to a place called NINH BIN, to put people down to solve the problem. In fact, it is also a GUEST HOUSE, some guests have to ride to the hue.

Hue accommodation is very easy, I saw a lot anyway for GH.

OPEN TOUR will recommend some accommodation for you, don't feel that someone is lying to you, take a look, if you feel satisfied with the stay. I live in is OPEN TOUR recommended, USD 7, very satisfied, still with the key for electricity, which I do not charge, had to take to the foreground. There also met a Mr. Singapore old, he intended to settle in it, was hard Viet Nam, Viet Nam, where happiness and Cantonese turned out to be the same.

In hue can sit in a boat travel PERFUME RIVER, take a look at the Royal Mausoleum, around the forbidden city, and a DMZ tour.

9 a.m. arrival of hue, settle, you can start. The original intention was to visit the forbidden city, and then participate in the tour DMZ and 1-day PERFUME RIVER, on the fourth day in the morning to go to Hoi an. But I and SHANE came to the River, first find the scenery is beautiful, so he changed his mind. Spent USD10 package a boat and see the THIEN MU PAGODA, TU DUC TOMB, MINH MANG TOMB, the two tombs are not on the shore, on the shore, but also to play MOTO, spent USD3.5. Travel agency tour BOAT TRIP quote just USD2, but it is not clear whether you also need to go unfulfilled dreams of his own pocket, basically a taxi: from 8 to 3: 00PM 00AM. I'm on board shopping, basically all the inventory are's skipper bought, those look very nice pictures. Later, when I went to the Ho Chi Minh, you find yourself do stupid things, but to continue to buy, according to the jargon is batch binning, reduce the cost of chant. The next day he went to join the DMZ tour, morning 6: 30 set off, the breakfast is included in the tour price USD 8. Guided tours in English surprisingly well on the way to go to you saying history, hear I really regret not doing homework in advance. So if you're not too interested in history, it is not necessary to go back and forth, after all, sit in the car at least 8 hours. Personally feel that the DMZ tour HIGHLIGHT is an authentic, drilling out is the BEACH, very beautiful. Visit the forbidden city half a day is enough, so that you can take the afternoon to Hoi an. Strongly recommended to rent a bike, walking up not too tired, hue is a small town, traffic situation is also OK. Others say this is a reprint of the forbidden city in Beijing, is worth watching, but I think this is great, you might not read to Beijing to do more.

Talk of hue of eat, there is a CAFE, MADRIAN is LP recommended, high cost performance, more famous is BANANA PANCAKE and POTATO SALAD.

There is a SONG by the River HUONG FLOATING RESTAURANT, sitting drinking beer at the scenery, the LP's can ENJOY THE RIVER BREEZE AND ATMOSPHERE, but the mosquitoes too many points. I'm a GO AND STOP CAFE for breakfast, the staff is very kindly helped me to mess around with and I am not open car locks, then I pass from the road, they also across the street and I say hello. In the TROPICAL GARDEN RESTAURANT I ate most Viet Nam is also the most expensive mealRice, a very small place. Before leaving, I'm in a BAR WHY NOT eat the last piece, later SHANE said he also was, Oh, the hero.

Hoi an (APR 1-APR 3)

Take the afternoon to go from Hoi an, hue on the road to 4 hours.

Another option is to start as early as 8 am, 1 pm. They say that in the hue to Hoi an's very beautiful, is also named as United States national geographic 50 will come to life, I feel also like, you may select General time is not very good, close to the evening, the mountain mist is very big, I would never be other people's smoke. There will be a STOPOVER on the way, the shop is a later, very nice BEACH. When understanding the Viet Nam MM, this is my way to see the best of Viet Nam to finally get MM winding up in the car speak Chinese three woman is from Taiwan's lever family, others are backpackers, their appetite with the railing box, still can go TREKKING, admire admire Sabah.

Hoi an accommodation personally feel that did not like the LP said so nervous, maybe I went not in season.

Full street are backpackers favorite GH, I lived easy OPEN TOUR recommended, USD 7, Yes, the boss in my leaving the night waiting for a bus, and I talked for a long time, but also taught me to say a few words about Viet Nam words, but I old, turned and forgot. Other people's family still hanging on the wall. Earlier said, Ho Chi Minh in the eyes of the people in Viet Nam has a very high position, so they put Hu hanging Grandpa's portrait is also on the wall, and the people quite like Thailand, everywhere in Thailand, at the desk is on one.

Hoi an ancient city you can spend a half day walking around a shopping, WALKING TOUR on the LP of the roadmap and, of course, if you like, go two days or you can buy clothes, souvenirs, a small bar to drink wine, very excellent hook superior .....

This ancient city attractive to me not too big, too small to feel at home you can find a lot of similar or even better city. Tickets VND75, 000, up a little, after all, people are UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE. Ticket COVER five points, an AutoShape, want to see something else, you'll have to pay for it. I think it's a dance and crafts produced good, TAN KY HOUSE should be tickets included another good choice, instructors of English is very good. Hoi an has issued a flood, the House is of course that was flooded, temporarily not be open to the public, it is said that at that time was also devoted to come knocking at the door of foreigners, to see how deep the water, very funny. You can participate in a tour of MY SON, to ship back, USD3 package lunch tickets self-care VND50, 000. If you have already been to Angkor, that's not much need to go, with effect for India, but the scale of civilization is small is very small. But this is also a UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE. I think this 1-day tour of the more attractive or BOAT TRIP, return journey you can visit the WOODCARVING VILLAGE. Our guide is a Flash funny old man said that English and French, when in the car with you to sing a song that Viet Nam Viet Nam people's love karaoke, ask you to not go, they ask Karadzic? if you want to go, just answer OK, so there is karaoke. Return by boat, and cheerful inviting us to touch wheel, posing as a sail, we take pictures. Our GROUP, there are couple, Mr. and Mrs. Germany Viet Nam plus two mestizo children, almost too cute. In MY SON when he was caught another regiment has three Chinese girl with a Singapore boy, so he had a great talk. Afternoon it mission, I hit the town also met Mrs Singapore boy and Viet Nam, it is conceivable that there are many small Hoi an. If you go to MY SON, then you can go to CHINA BEACH and MARBLE MOUNTAIN, but remember it's best to bring a flashlight. The morning you can rent a bicycle to CU DAI Hoi an BEACH, distance 20 minutes 5KM, may have some fresh sea breeze, very comfortable. And then you can ride to see is not in the OLD TOWN in other temples, I met two road middle school boy offered to me to lead the way, is to practise English, I can find people take photographs, won't it? later they said thirsty, I gave them to buy drinks, OK, but I met a black woman, two cans of drink charged me VND30, 000, then I discovered in the CAFE in Thailand of the originally RED BULL only sell VND7, 000.

Hoi an to eat a lot, my favorite is the fried wonton, above will cover a floor toppings, WHITE ROSE is also good, name listened to us.

CAO LAU, local specialities, a noodle, I feel quite normal. OLD TOWN is full of shops, dining on the Riverside of even more romantic. LE LOI Street one called XIN KAI's shop, the second floor is a BAR, a POOL, SHANE and I are sitting in the balcony, eat, and Viet Nam in the streets around the MM, should permit the again Hoi an is a small place. Forgot to say, roadside stalls a fruit SHAKE, VND5000, inexpensive and delicious. Near where I live is a daily visit, also found himself a lot of fruit is not known yet.

Nha (APR 4)

From Hoi an to the NHA has only one frequency, 6: 30 to 6 a.m. half.

Of course, the departure time or so. SHANE I one day to go to the NHA, he will be in big trouble, I stroll in the old town ring full belly back to the HOTLE and found he also carrying large packages sat at the door, and waited two more minutes. Thought the next along the way I want to truly alone, but things just so dramatic. The train also sit nice and full ofI have a room next to it, and finally to a wearing Viet Nam straw man watched quite like Japan. This didn't want to pay him, people ask WHERE ARE YOU FROM, say, CHINA, the next hearing is in Chinese, it was a Beijing man, just quit working, Tracy. And call him a GM, we together noisy covered the rest of the journey of Viet Nam.

Accommodation, I would say don't believe the LP recommended, in particular those of the BUDGET.

All the way down is the recommended OPEN TOUR, I decided this time to listen to GM back to LP 's, we chose a new version of the old two LP has mentioned, forget the name, the results looked just scared out of the dark, dank with no Windows, although quite large. Subsequently, motorized Tsai soliciting, we also saw several, identify a USD6, a small lane is the beach, maybe, but only one night, saying that something fishy about the guys too, feel better then some more.

NHA is a coastal city, beach 6 km, along the beach is a repaired a good main road, the beach is like a big Park open air, very comfortable.

Some people say that Viet Nam people are trying to put the NHA Viet Nam of Pattaya into, I think now is a bit of Nha simple taste, Pattaya is not only one of the beach beach chairs. NHA in addition to watching the sea, the city also some attractions to see. I and GM two meanie neither rent nor rent bicycle motorcycle, two legs walking all day, with a strong belief in mind-to find the woman sells lobster (according to a user travels) supports.

We live near the BEACH NHA, central place to the West to see NHA Cathedral, LONG SON PAGODA, went to the Northeast, DAM MARKET PO NAGAR CHAM TOWERS, HON CHONG PROMONTORY, this is basically the most northern BEACH, in the South along the BEACH walk, go to the Marine Institute, large Villa, is the southernmost of the BEACH.

NHA Cathedral is beautiful in a hill, along the sides of many biblical personage of the statue, wrote the text of Viet Nam. We first passing through a small church think of it as a NHA Cathedral, then when you see the real Cathedral, also assume that it is the station according to the map, looking at the railway station, how far such beautiful, but also for Virgin. LONG SON PAGODA is a white giant Buddha, carved in Thai, to climb up to 152 step, standing on the Hill you can watch the whole city. DAM MARKET is a big LOCAL MAKRET, however I think there should be a lot of foreigners, because I saw a special notices for foreign tourists, we take care of it. PO NAGAR CHAM TOWERS is and MY SON to see more or less the same, just a little a big number. The Marine Institute is a long knowledge of several pavilions at the Aquarium class, there is a huge variety of marine life is 6 million of the Herbarium. Large Villa is also a good landscape, sits inside the restaurant eating, watching dusk of sea view very juicy. Here is the need to pay the admission price of VND2000, but if you go to the restaurant is not required to pay. Restaurant stuff is cheap, even better than some of the common roadside CAFE is also cheap, thought this grade should be quite expensive, not necessarily. A shrimp dumpling spring rolls, transparent, and beautiful and delicious. The most funny is that French fries, potato cut themselves, thick thick big, huh, huh. The Villa door, I was going well and GM to go farther, so plan to take the bus, do not know which way the right bus ride or do not quite understand, anyway, as long as they walked along the BEACH can be far more open. Waiting waiting, it grew too late, and I suspect that is not the last bus did not, in a little desperate, 4-way car arrived, we had in its turn nowadays, surprising discovery car is sold lobster old lady, do not know whether it is legendary. The excited Ah, almost not verbal. One person, a lobster, a crab, a bottle of beer, VND105, 000, 60 Yuan. Is the most simple carbon fire roasted, with local spices, feel a bit salty, if a bit to eat crabs of vinegar, it is level. I also and a row of lobster photographed, unfortunately only in it for a night, hasn't had enough yet. Saw a few foreigners simply big Pack for lobster back, old lady's business can be good. In addition this place distance we live only in one Street, knew of this 4-way car, don't leave this vehicle daylights, also very clean. Finally, I also went to the Seaside CAFE and eat ICE CREAM, dark days, you can only hear the sound of the waves.

Usually you can participate in Nha four Island Tour, snorkeling, General USD6, this price should be quite cheap, I saw in Thailand are generally at least USD9.

I did not attend, and GM directly go to the next station Dalat.

Dalat (APR 5-APR 6)

7: 30 in the morning PICK UP, at about 1 pm.

I asked the HOTEL have the bread sold, they served me out of the two eggs. I had to run to resolve the issue the street looks, carrying for breakfast bread, to the sea on the last one was the big wave, saw a monk, a mobile shoes-hand carrying a plastic bag, a pair of contemplation. Add our big bus empty, it seems quite a lot of people directly from Saigon to NHA. Car first STOPOVER in a CHAM TOWER, another car of the foreigner TRANSFER to our car, so our car is full. The CHAM TOWER where are long, but it's also kind of a CHAM TOWER some cacti. Dalat is far away from the beach, is the CENTRAL HIGHLAND, saw many mountains, not too much to see those in the North to see green rice fields, the color is yellow. Dalat inAccommodation is so easy to find, this time OPEN TOUR sat is HAHN CAFE car (actually, I really don't understand why in Hanoi SINH CAFE bought tickets but sit not SINH CAFE own vehicles), HAHN CAFE got a big HOTEL, the car is parked in that, from that set out to Saigon. Almost all of them live in that, the room is an absolute value, USD5 one night, double room, a balcony, air conditioning and fans, because it is not necessary, HIGHLAND is relatively cold that night also cover blankets, balcony of glass doors on all water vapor. I have also seen a motorcycle on the road who wears see down jacket, but your feet just wear double sandals, meanwhile, are not afraid of freezing. Distance HAHN CAFE own HOTEL5 minutes walking you can see SINH CAFE, they also have their own a big HOTEL.

Dalat is a city of the title of a honeymoon, XUAN HUONG LAKE is definitely a good place for leisure, take a walk around the Lake, still the little wind, trouble at all.

The city has a telecommunications tower, the Eiffel Tower, night light lighting was nice. Dalat Cathedral and the train station you can walk along the Lake away. Dalat train station is very small, we walked to the evening, when nearly everyone not only saw two very old locomotive, really wonder whether the station is also in use, but it's very suitable for swing POSE photography, GM also moved to move to a piece I wrote what brand of iron, for me it was hard. Unfortunately my camera too bad, in the light effect is very poor. Dalat other spots scattered, it is recommended that participate in the tour, consider HANH SINH CAFE and CAFE OFFER, finally chose SINH CAFE 's, LANDSCAPE SIGHTSEEING TOUR 1 USD 8, including some two feet away. First to a small hill overlooking Dalat, or you can take tram to go to the next spot bamboo contemplation. We were there we met a couple of Viet Nam, long live in Paris, the Lady still speak Mandarin, rare. Our tour guide an English very good young man say Dalat don't see China backpackers, too little. Bamboo contemplation is a new attraction, the guide said that this LP, but can't find. The door is a sign that women should not wear short skirts. The guide said previously a young woman wearing a small tape and mini skirt, results there monk's heart disease is the fear, ignorance is not just a joke. Next, a waterfall, too small, it was in that pretend to big bear to tourists taking pictures, vulgarity. Cock village is impressed to people, in fact, the way in Dalat city see the mansion, Viet Nam people skinny slender long small house, but a cock village feel that contrast is too big, too poor to see several naked kid sitting in the water tanks, would only say that the two words, HELLO, MONEY. The mud House lawns everywhere, according to the guide said top 24-year-old women's health 4-5 children are normal, so you can imagine how the resulting poverty. Farmers grow some carrots and other vegetables to Ho Chi Minh. Cock village not chicken, but in the village there is a lot of chicken. The locals still handwoven scarf, a USD 6. I first saw the coffee tree, Viet Nam is second only to Brazil in coffee exporting countries. Dalat is known as the music village, in the Park can often be found with flowers do Guitar Modeling. Dalat FLOWER GARDEN and the VALLEY OF LOVE is the park where nature, GM and I said, the following have to be vulgar, station in flower mound wildly take take West. BUPA Great Emperor's Summer Palace is also one of spots, feels this PALACE not imagined that luxury. CRAZY HOUSE is a GUESTHOUSE is also an ART GALLERY. Inside the House, it is difficult to describe the curious, USD20 starting at, and compared to the modern HOTEL is to be seen not lived a narrow and steep stairs, at night, maybe also 黑灯瞎火, I never saw the light at the stairs. There are bears, Tigers, the most vast estates is a company called HONEY MOON, there is a mirror of the Web, so you can imagine. Dalat or football town, along the XUAN HUONG LAKE can see Dalat Stadium, it was in the play. Lakeside HOTEL SOFITEL DALAT PALACE not to be missed, known as having the best turf Viet Nam. One night a few hundred dollars I can live without, but in the public area of the Chair and sit, look at the best turf guobayin. I and GM went to Dalat University, greening, naturally, a triangular Tower is the symbol of the Red Star. I have also seen people with seemingly professional photography of people taking photos on the campus. We are more interested in their canteens long what, but didn't find it.

In Dalat in the Lake it is a good choice.

There's a BLUE WATER of the Lake, the restaurant is good, things, there is a lobby Manager from Ho Chi Minh, speak Cantonese. I and GM funny in full dishes on the qi, the first photograph before you can move the chopsticks. Also in the Lake are home to XUAN HUANG hotel, there is a terrace, balcony, drink, eat eat and drink at night, enjoy. I hesitated slightly and GM, that good seat was occupied by a group of foreigners, we had to eat in the House, look out the window, the last being eaten, we moved out, and feel a bit. A section of the Lake there are better things like CAFE, BAR, sat afternoon tea or just Dalat in French fries and NHA, since cut thick.

Ho Chi Minh (7-APR 12 APR)

Morning people call up notice go downstairs for breakfast, then ride to Ho Chi Minh.

See, this is to choose a HOTEL BUS and business benefits. Stopping at a sell Viet Nam tea plantation Jinhua store, there are a number of Chinese food。 Not long after lunch, we entered the Ho Chi Minh, just 5 minutes on the way to see the five churches, a bit surprised. Then see the Sai River, three points about the PHAM NGU LAO fan Wu old street. Terminal, a DELTA ADVENTURE staff greeted us put your luggage there for easy to find accommodation.

Accommodation still not to the point of tension, of course, want to find a cheap and nice place is not so easy.

Why GM feelings and I this time not to we recommend live? Then we turn into and PHAM NGU LAO cross of a lane, is a veritable MINI HOTEL alley, both sides are private small hotel, the houses at it until you find satisfying. In fact, it looks at the two, we live in a House called TITI's shops. I am in that room a night, no USD7 window, but very clean and have an older window type air conditioner, though a bit noisy, but a cooling effect. GM had a room with small balcony of the House, was USD10 I laughed luxury. TITI's downstairs has two little dog, really good, sound out, it's doubtful they would not be called. Then I saw the man in the store, they are playing their patience is called twice. Top floor balcony also closed four little dog, there are days I so gently that climb up, results or to a dog barking. It is well behaved dog to enjoy more freedom. GM is afraid of dogs, it's difficult for him to live there.

We stayed in town for two days, also participated in a two-day tour to the Mekong respectively and Hoa ancient Shiba road.

Do not know is our one wheel speed is slow or original we too have their own overestimate, look at the map that you can get a day, it took two days, also tired of death. The town has many attractions, such as the Presidential Palace, the War Museum, the Church, a large post offices, China town, are not going to regret it. The old street fan Wu Pianer is backpackers clustered, but there is no reason to be a low level. I am in the morning in the street next to the Park habitation see anyone anywhere, it is a wet urine, it is no wonder that evening at the roadside sloshing of not always feel that smell. I wonder if it is not the Government to consider the following build some public facilities. The Office of Presidency internal look very simple. A showroom featuring some Rhinoceros, elephant foot bone or something. The roof has an apron, floor, in front of the tank. See a few new options on the lawn wedding photo shoot, in fact, the scenery is also good. More funny is that there is a big tree is a perfect pick spots, the result tree has two people taking pictures, the tree is still a couple before you put the same POSE. We went to the day as a celebration, a lot of veterans, there is a buffet. We think it is not abused. We go out, passing by the Chinese Embassy, AN DINH CHURCH (a pink house, maps in the blue sky, like in the fairy tale,) to find the legendary LP should be good to drink the soup of beef. BINH SOUP SHOP is the humble shop at all, but the soup is really tasty, the price is not cheap 15, 000VND a bowl. Everything is impeccable, but you don't go toilets with the shop behind, at least three fat mouse can scare the timid MM beauty face. There is a coffee shop, roadside GM with pen and paper and store it outside the little MM, eventually the two successfully bought put into small packages are grinding of coffee powder. Funny is it out of the shop, came back to buy more. Proved better than later in the BEN THANH MARKET seen better and cheaper. Go on, and came to the JADE EMPEROR PAGODA, there is the old gentleman in reading Saigon liberation reported that also speak Chinese? Museum of history as LP the evaluation by only the buildings also perspective, the value of a good small a place. Signs of a pool on the floor in the eyes can see just a little bit. War Museum to see, really make people doubt those who committed heinous crimes in the end is the devil or human. I have a passion for the murder of film, results in a picture are not, in a bad mood. 10 ride motorcycle, 000VND to CHOLON Chinese city to drink tea. The waiter Basic will speak Cantonese, GM has put greater than speak Chinese of addiction. Have a look at the Saigon liberation newspaper, listen to Cantonese song play. The price of each cookie to all almost 18, 000VND, shrimp dumpling and turnip cakes with price. CHOLON many Guild, a bit similar, but the architecture and sculpture is still very watchable, there are a lot of waiting for the smoke out through the roof, the Qing dynasty. See a foreigner tour, see Chinese culture to them very attractive. Saw a group of students gathered in Viet Nam a school door, exaggerated is little girls are still behind a fake LV bag. BINH TAY MARKET is a large market of CHOLON, long like a train station clock tower, everything is on sale, I and GM bought for Viet Nam coffee filter jug, think back to a self-made Viet Nam iced coffee. Market is the bus stop opposite, spent 2, 000VND sat 1 Road, air-conditioning, sat, Sai river crossings. The conductor and the drivers will speak Cantonese, Oh. A little regret, just short of a morning, saw the three does not talk about health, anywhere out urine. In the vicinity of MI LINH SQUARE one looks quite magnificent restaurants and great marketing, I turned into the GM, you just ate lunch and Guangdong tea, lunch, a little lunch only shows a very delicious, we came out a bit long, Miss home cooking. But foreign Chinese food is always very expensive, the large budget is a bit of a grade, and 10% service charge. See two people sitting eating fruit drink beverages, packaged two boxes, one Bill, pay a lot of coins, Viet Nam is not worth the shield, one can imagine the waiter a number of how hard it is. Full continue in DONG KHOI AREA shopping, famous cathedral didn't let go, I do not know why, but at the door photos. A great post and very pretty, visit than to do proper business people. There is a sale of JIRead the counter, selling stamps of one face is a pair of others owe her n. Stroll around the BEN THANH MARKET, giving people a place to linger, unfortunately for GM, is able to Flash Flash.

Talk about the tour, the Mekong River, the ancient Shiba road, Hoa is a travel agency general line, the price is the same.

DELTA ADVENTRUE and SING CAFE are two very good travel agents. Mekong personally feel that 1 enough, the son is a casual day, my favorite one wheel is really a bit is not used. You can also select a tour, live nights, may feel different. ANYWAY, day of the tour of the Mekong River is not in the car is in a boat. I'm in the boat boring took out this Thai books to do-like learning Pack, or just resting. GM DAO Hao, sitting in a sun bath by starting the bow. Originally imagined the Mekong is the little one, our boat is a small one, should have the feeling of a tropical rain forest. In fact very broad, the Mekong River is yellow, also very dirty. The so-called water market in the us see is drawing to a close, nor is the imagination of people rowing small boat out to sell their own things, but one big ship, loading the goods. This way, read a lot of handicraft workshop, do rice cake, coconut sugar, pottery, a Manchu minister knowledge. Longan shell can be used to make fuel do fried rice, coconut and sugar is thick with old coconut meat, chocolate, Peanut flavor, taste good, strong aroma. Pottery workers a day can make USD7-10, the finished products are shipped to Ho Chi Minh re-export of Western Europe. Those dark patches mud embryo is like chocolate, can't reach out to touch, soft, also oil soiled with one hand. Factory move mud blocks women more than men, it's hard work live. Lunch is in a quite atmosphere on the island as a place to eat in the garden. Food is also very beautiful, but also teach you the self-made spring rolls. Just this spring rolls a bit old bite skin. There is a slip of the Shaker, when the tour continued their way to wake up, watch out they'd rather continue to shake down. After dinner you can ride a bike stroll stroll, just a bit woozy Sun shuddering. The island is a lot of banana trees, GM help me pick a not too ripe bananas, but unfortunately I did not wait until it is cooked, it was GM threw. Hoa, ancient Shiba authentic tour more interesting. Had three and a half minutes, only to the home of the Hoa, are catching up with 12 points. The Church is very special, Christians wear yellow represents Buddhism, Taoism, wearing blue in red represents the Confucius, Sardis is new. The temple is splendid, colorful, very suitable for taking pictures. General religious practitioner should not be disturbed at the ceremony, the Hoa seemed particularly welcome visitors, was also responsible for maintaining order and pointing your station where photographs. Lunch with management system, serving very quickly, just some people forget their number, a bit confusing. I and the Chinese noodles GM point, really, really like Thailand noodles. A young Americans, a snake meat meal, so brave. Served at the long end like pickled vegetables pork. Then we post in hundred year big also saw this eating Snake's buddies, impression too deep. Ancient Shiba road is not in the DMZ can see authentic, is too short, only 80CM high 100 metre-long tunnel, we only got 30 m came out. The whole no one stick to it. In fact, 80CM high nor too difficult, the legs are sour, but false do not bite it may be the last. My question is not too hard, but to feel my Pack on his back, only heard the sound of wall friction and, although only a counterfeit bags, but I have to rely on it to go the rest of the way. Knew it in the chest, a little regret, Oh. Have a look very small land crossing, the only brick so big, but it can hide a person. Guide to do a demonstration, drill down, hands held high the sealing of the brick. And then there are tourists. There are more fat female foreigners, jump down, it may be in trouble, and he was stuck in a hole, she also wears low waist jeans, really makes people tremble with fear, but better the last sigh of relief to everyone. We each pay 65, 000VND tickets Tickets for money, what results or attractions didn't get the introduction, the local people as long as 8, 000VND. According to GM, the guide just bought two tickets, but we is a ten to one's mission. It is no wonder that this guide can be armed with the latest model of mobile phone, there is a flower of the original.

The last talk and eat, PHAM NGU LAO region had many meals, we live the day MINI HOTEL with family BEE SAIGON very good, we shopped both dinner and breakfast.

Its kitchen is in the opposite lane, sitting in a chair you can see how they are cooking. The chef looks like another day to Aunty next door, a first name is Mommy kitchen is also good. Their menu is hefty, what vegetables are often reserved for the point a bit. Recommend a HOTPOT, MIXED, with shrimp, squid, food etc, it's delicious. Next table of foreigners to see our point of the pot, also asked us what was on the point a and the US, full of a sense of achievement. Go GO GO GO BAR Cup of MISS SAIGON is also good, this BAR, with a lot of posters, Viet Nam. Ho Chi Minh's fruit salad is no salad sauce, it is better to call them good fruit plate. They give you a little SAUCE if you request it, long like wine, but also another charge. So if you want to eat fruit, or fruit stall bought, that kind of help you cut a good cut. DONG KHOI AREA there are many food shops, a walk there will be found. At least there are some ice cream shop, get tired in a rest.

Reference to an exceptional value, that is in the old part of the blind, fan Wu School of massage, massage for one hour only 40, 000VND.

I finished out also saw several foreigners holding LP you search?

APR

12, I went to leave the Ho Chi Minh and GM, in Phnom Penh, Phnom Penh after breaking up, he went to Angkor, I went to the King Sihanouk.

Later I went back to Bangkok, rarely with GM.

Remember when he said that Beijing was so cold that I drink a Viet Nam iced coffee. It is now August, I had to taste GM.
