DaLat - last day

Sorry Im breaking up the flow of my travels but my trip in Asia will come to an end soon and I wanted to make sure that I didnt forget to finish up my posts from previous trips.

Tripping up the South Central Coast of 'Nam

Lush greenery in the DaLat Mountains

If you want to escape the city heat, do what most Vietnamese do during the summer—take the weekend off and head for the cool mountain refuge of Dalat.   Dalat has been a popular area of retreat for most Vietnamese and an abundance of natural beauty.   You can take advantage [...]

Thap Ba Spa in Nha Trang - it's all that

My dad and cousin left me on Tuesday morning, so I was all by myself in Nha Trang.   Since the blackouts in Nha Trang are every other day, I figured I would lay out on the beach all Tuesday and check out Thap Ba spa on Wednesday.

Bus rate from DaLat to Nha Trang

Just a small tip, but if anyone else has a better rate, please add in the comment, otherwise, I think Sinh Tourist had the best rate for an AC bus from DaLat to Nha Trang.  

I had already called around to MaiLinh and Phuong Trang, both quoted 90,000 dong – 100,000 dong= $4-5 dollars.

Sinh was 80,000 [...]

CH Mart Dai Thuan - Nha Trang

No matter the brand of water for a 1.5L, the [...]

Medical Insurance in Vietnam

Franco-Vietnamese Hospital in Saigon

Sometimes I get some really good tips in the comments section of prior posts from readers of my blog but they may get overlooked just because few people reread the older posts.  For instance, one of the pressing issues for expats that want to live in Vietnam is that of medical/health [...]

Bit***in Beach problems

Morning Exercise

The last few mornings I have been walking from my Aunt’s house to the nearby beach.  I shouldn’t walk by myself but since I am bad-ass I do it anyways.

The beach that I went to is in walking distance in a town somewhere between Phuoc Lam and Long Hai.  From where I stand, I [...]
