Vietnam 2014

Thanks.

forgot to update this thread with new pics hehe:

I went to a place called Hoi an in the middle of vietnam. i was only meant to stay here for 4 days but i stayed for a whole week. This was because i met a vietnamese family who a guy i met in a forum told me to come by there shop and say hi to them.

I spent various times at there shop just talking and socialising and after the tete new year, they invited me to there place for lunch.

Here is a pic of the younger sister who i spoke to many times

Before meeting with this family i accidently stumbled on this place which looked as if it was bombed during the war.

You can see a bunker here!

Yup i came across these group of kids playing around the war torn area. I was happy inside of me to see local kids al happy and smiling and playing around such a historic site. Almost made me weep inside as we all know what the Vietnamese went through against the Americans. Touching image above and a contender for my personal best pic of this year..

More pics of the area:

Only on FB, but I'll see if I can upload a few for you.





Good travel advice.

On the pics, first one is more "arty", but if it was me, the second because it evokes more memories of the craziness that is Hanoi

Finally got around to looking at all your photos on here, good stuff!

We've decided in the past week that we want to do Vietnam & Cambodia. Pushed for time a little as we are down to 4.5 weeks due to work now so don't want to try and rush Laos.

We've made a list of the places we'd like to visit so would be great if I can bend your ear a little and get some tips for getting around from place to place. Laptop about to die on me so will post again in a short while...

Will have a look through these properly tonight. Noticed a 50cc scooter on your flickr. How did you go about hiring one as I've read it's illegal in Vietnam unless you have a Vietnamese driving licence although the police over there don't really check.

Yea you are correct you do need a licence but it vietnam money talks and so long as you got the cash to pay for a scooter they dont care if you have a licence or not
