Ngan Hac Giay Volunteers Last Sunday, I went to meet with some volunteers from the Ngan Hac Giay Organization. I was picked up at my Aunt’s house at 8:00AM by Son…one of the lead volunteers of the group. We were going to meet the other members at a park right in front of Diamond Plaza [...] Cafe Sua Da…ok, but not the best drink I know that many tourists and locals alike become addicted to Vietnamese Iced Coffee (cafe sua da)…and I regularly see it cited as the drink that people most remember during their stay in Vietnam.

First of all you are only allowed 2 pieces of check in luggage [...] Rainy Day in Saigon Is this what I can expect for weeks on end during the rainy season? I know that when it rains…most everyone wears those plastic ponchos….but if you’re riding mopeds around your legs and pants surely still gets wet. Do you walk around with wet pants all day…or does everyone carry an [...] The Gia Rai One of the main reasons I came to Vietnam was to try to develop a little perspective after my divorce….and in order to do that I need to be able to appreciate all the luxuries that are afforded to me.
