- I hear custom suits are a thing. Recommendations on tailors (and where)?
And just overall things to see (or avoid)?
Thanks! |
Flying is important as mentioned.
Highlights:
Dalat
- Canyoning - highly recommend
- Hired a guy with a motorbike to take me on an agricultural tour in the
countryside
- Hired a different motorcycle to drive me to Nha Trang
Nha Trang
- Get a street pineapple...or at least watch them cut them
- hire a beach hut and eat fresh prawns cooked for you there
- Scuba diving
Ho Chi Minh
- The standard stuff is the tunnels and the Mekong
- Lesser known is the War Remnants museum...always interesting to see how the "other side" viewed things
- Go to the spa...it sounds ridiculous, but they're not rub n tugs and you get your hair washed a massage and a pedicure for <$50.
If you're traveling solo, stay in the hostels so you meet people. Otherwise there is a range of hotel options.
