Visited Vietnam Ho chi Minh city and Dalat. Stayed at the Duxton Hotel US$100+ per night twin sharing. Peak X'mas season, off season should be about half the price.
First impressions - traffic is alsolutely chaotic with motorbikes everywhere and absolutely very few traffic lights and crossing the street is a nightmare. Fantastic drip coffee, if you're a coffe addict, this is paradise. Food is cheap especially out of town.
visited Chi Ci tunnel, Mekong River Delta, and in Dalat, places worth visiting are Langbiang, Crazy House, XQ Traditional Village, Karaoke to your hearts content at S$5 per hour per room.
