Great long beach, was in the water all day at the beach.  Weather was great!  2 cool places to go out further down past the main strip.  Went to sand-dunes, but tour kept stopping at places (as per usual in Vietnam).  Accomodation is right on the beach ... Read more >

On my recent trip to Vietnam I pre-booked at a hotel near Pham Ngu Lao street in Ho Chi Minh for 30$ per night. My flight was arriving after 10pm and I didn't want the hassle of searching for accommodation after arrival so I settled on this family-... Read more >

What do you picture when I say night bus? A normal bus that just travels at night? That's what I thought when we borded our night bus Sunday night (also the Chinese New YEar). The night bus we took actually had rows of bunk beds from front to back and ... Read more >

Sihanouke Ville was beautiful! The only major issue was that on the beach you were constantly harassed by children trying to sell fireworks and bracelets, or women selling pedicures. While in Sihanouke Ville the tour group decided to go on a ... Read more >

Maybe the "Come Down" is a little bit harsh..maybe a "reflection" would be more appropriate! Currently sitting in the vip lounge at Guangzhou airport in china (yep, i feel a little out of place, but am grateful for them letting ... Read more >
