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

Don’t assume that street vendors are always the cheaper way to go when buying drinks or food.

I was charged 12,000 dong for a 1.5L bottle of water, when I could’ve gone to CH Mart on Biet Thu, right around the corner from the hotel I was staying.

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

This little piggy went Ba Ria

Vietnam is a trip y’all.

My Aunt is the owner of 3 sows and some piglets.   To me, they sound like they are going to die when she feeds them—maybe I’m just not used to the loud squealing.  Last night, I  asked my aunt why do they scream so loudly and her reply was [...]

Gold Shops No More?

Exchanging U.S. Dollars

I went to exchange some U.S. Dollars (USD)  into Vietnamese Dong (VND) today for the first time in a couple of months.  I was surprised how much things have changed since then.   It used to be that the gold shops around Vietnam offered a much higher currency exchange rate than the banks [...]
