Going in the caves at Ha long bay.
Sa Pa. Nothing beats the views here.
Pho across Vietnam are great. Best meal.
Banh Mi is a sandwich filled with various types of fillings . It depends on what city you're in. There are more than 70 variations.

Been around the world and Vietnam is still one of my most favorite destinations. So beautiful and so vastly different.

Eggs cooked like what?
Nihlist
Idlis. Idli is a south indian dish.
ithinkiwasasamuraiinpastlife
Thanks dude. I was lazy to find something that would resonate with English audience. You can think of them as mini steamed egg pancakes

Been in vietnam for 1 day now, love it! Stayed in backpacker ghetto last night. Crossing the street in rush hour = crazy

Leave Bui Vien asap. You can keep your hostel, but please venture forth.
Crispyock
We are in mui nei now. Only wandered bui vien.

Travelled Vietnam 2 years ago, and loved every minute. Constantly surprised at how different each part of the country was from each other.

The burning thrash one the street Sides was a little bummer for me tho
BlowinInTheWind
kinda fuck up but i think it’s better to burn thrash on the side then dumping it into the ocean
derpfacemcgee
My favorite part was the street food. Had the best pho I've ever had at the My Tho night fishmonger trade. Sat on a children's plastic chair
FunkEthics
I always wanted to go because if I ever wanted to refer back to the trip, I could say “back in Nam”.
Youcanbekittycat2000orwhatever
I loved Vietnam. The food was incredible and it was so beautiful. Plus, jokes all day about the currency, dong!!!
modman23
It's a great place to visit, hot as heck but still worth it.
PeopleSeemToHaveLongNamesOnImgur
Hot as heck? I live in Hexas. Is it worse than that?
CheckYourWifiFriend
It’s humid here so it’s slightly different. But temperatures are similar.
Wesugi
Humidity is death in terms of heat. The dead valley is easier to endure than any jungle in southeast asia
modman23
I think averages in SE asian are generally higher than the averages in Texas.

Interesting and aesthetically pleasing, +1!

Lovely! How were the people OP?

10 reasons to go to Vietnam:
IBegToDiffer
Food, beautiful rural areas, anachronistic feels, living like kings on $10 a day for food, temples, food, food, food, beaches, architecture
IBegToDiffer
Seriously, there’s a lot of euro-friendly Viet foods. Also the cuisine is lacto-ovo-vegetarian friendly.
IBegToDiffer
Although you’ll come to realize that vegan/vegetarian pho is entirely a Western construction

I was recently in Vietnam for 2 weeks and the first few days were awful. The trip was nice in the end but there is a lot that was not.
feuerwehrmann
Can tell the same story. Spent to many days in Hanoi (the city is a little bit shitty), but afterwards the trip got nicer. But I have to (1)
feuerwehrmann
say, that the people in other south eastern Countries seem to be nicer/friendlier. (2)
IBegToDiffer
Saigon is great to visit and main areas are clean. The northern capital is a lot dirtier. I’m a fan of central and south Vietnam.
ithinkiwasasamuraiinpastlife
We also did a south to north vietnam trip! The cities were fun but the villages were so much better. Hue was overrated though.
jwillmer
Ha long Bay looks nice from a distance but it is very dirty with plastic bags and garbage floating around. They throw everything in water :(

My parents went past year. They were on the Mekong delta and some guy came up in a boat with his dead wife, they had turned them away 1/
idontlikehats
From the hospital because they didnt have the money for her treatment and now he didnt have gas money to get home. He was very upset and 2/
idontlikehats
Only talked to the tour guide who gave him a couple bucks to get home. Told everyone after they had moved on. My parents were very upset 3/

When they found out. Put a downer on most of their trip 4/4

I visited a lot of these places in 2013. Thanks for the pics! Did you use a guide company or just do it yourself?
ithinkiwasasamuraiinpastlife
We planned it off the internet. Asked friends who had travelled before. Don't trust the internet. 1/2
ithinkiwasasamuraiinpastlife
People on tripadvisor get easily scared apparently that's what we realise. 2/2
JonesJimboJones
Ha, that’s good to know. We used a guide service and that kept the trip moving along well.
JonesJimboJones
At one point we were on our own and then we started missing buses, getting lost, etc. All part of the adventure.
ithinkiwasasamuraiinpastlife
It's all fun!

That's all I have to say about that.
MaskMan191
I wouldn't call it Ho Chi Minh city, I'd call it Saigon.
lotterydreamer
Depends on political outlook people from the north or people with strong government ties to call it HCMC if you smoke weed it’s Saigon??
ithinkiwasasamuraiinpastlife
Actually, they call it both. Call it what pleases you.
MaskMan191
I understand they call it both. I do call it what pleases me. I don't know if there are any hostilities in your reply. Ho Chi Minh was bad.
ithinkiwasasamuraiinpastlife
Haha! No man. My reply was just meant to be informative. No hostilities.
imnottheheroyoudeserve
Why was Ho Chi Minh bad?
MaskMan191
Tried to bring communism to Vietnam, never did, sent thousands to die in the V. War, was entirely absent as leader of North Vietnam.
