  • Been to Vietnam 3 times now, can't keep away... think you really see the "real" Vietnam if you head toward Central Vietnam imho… Hanoi (North) and Saigon (South) are the main places to go to if you’ve never been before, but Central is just lovely. Everyone is so friendly and always laughing at everything and anything! How awesome is that! Agree with Gustav - Quy Nhon was nice, super chilled out… as was Hue, and Da Lat is Vietnam like you’ve never seen before! It’s in the highlands so temperature is cool, its really pretty! If you have time, definitely check it out… try to see My Lai too, if you have time…

    One of the best things about Vietnam is that everyone rides bicycles (esp in Central Vietnam), so you can rent one everywhere you go…

    Make sure you also try:
    1 – banh mi: filled baguettes, super yummy
    2 – banh xeo: rice pancake thing, haven’t scoured a good one in London yet, so if anyone knows of any, let me know!!!
    3 – dragon fruit (they are hot pink on the outside, white on the inside, I had this EVERYDAY when I was there)

    Be careful where you eat though, as nearly every one of my meat eating friends had the runs when they were there… I’m vegetarian and was totally fine the whole time I was there (fingers crossed the whole time)…
