you have to go to the villages. so beautiful. and the people are soooo much nicer. saigon is just like vancouver. kinda boring, IMO. nha trang is nice, but A LOT of scammers. if you're not travelling with someone local who you know well, you will get jipped left and right. there's a beach called phan thit. it's way nicer than nga trang and so much less populated. dai lat is a really cool city. being that it's higher up, the climate is a lot cooler than other areas. don't take the big tourist buses. hop on one of those little taxi buses that the locals use. just give the kids candy. the begging is actually so much less than it was years ago. i think they made it illegal.
it's such an amazing country. such a contrast of beauty and poverty

don't drive a scooter yourself. someone may try and hit you and take money

o_O scared to go out at night? that's the best time to go out!
Tons of food and things to eat ^^
It's so freaking hot during the day.
I'd stay away from the scooter if you're not used to it, streets are dangerous there. =P

AVOID ALL VIETNAMESE PEOPLE. MAILIHN AND SAIGONTOURIST REMEMBER THESE NAMES. ONLY TAKE THEM.

or negotiate with the xe om, i like it the best.

also when shopping general rule of thumb is 75% off. Also they girls are very push and flirty.

Drizzt Do'Urden 03-25-2009 07:28 PM

what is mailihn and siagontourist? taxis?

do they speak any english well in saigon?

Meowjin 03-25-2009 07:29 PM

im also getting alot of vietnamese people coming up to me taking pictures. they say its because im tall and have a muscular body.

Drizzt Do'Urden 03-25-2009 07:32 PM

hahah wtf
they are sooo gonna rob you

if they speak english is a scam usually.

also wear sunglasses. Alot of girls will try to look into your eyes, It's a tactic they use.

And they will grab you and pull you into their shops.
