Travel Tips to Vietnam

Tons and Tons of Tourist heading to Vietnam or traveling through Asia during summer so here are some tips for you

Tip 1:

Most people would like to have cheap or unlimited Internet even they went out to the jungle in Asia, it’s still always nice to keep contact with friends and family though.

            So How cheap it can be? I found a really cheap way to do so!

            Try to find this card, the operator is “Mobifone” their card have 50,000VND in there even people told you there’s 100,000VND, it’s actually still 50,000VND inside, it’s because they have 3 accounts in the card for incoming and outgoing…. Complicated but the Main account is most important. The other doesn’t count, when you top up, it just top up the main account as well but give you extra bonus in the others.

They will try to fool you by that.

Buying a SIM in Hanoi is way cheaper then in Ho Chi Minh City as Hanoi is very competitive since SIM is selling everywhere on the street. You will some small light box, they will have SIM card and top up coupon there.

If you put in the SIM and just use, it will be pay as you go and the credit can run out really quick with Internet usage.

!!The trick is send a message DK MIU to 999

then it will deduct 40,000VND in your phone credit which provide you

30 Days Unlimited Network with first 400Mb high speed up to 7.2Mb

Even it slow down afterwards it still works fine.

Vietnam phone network is really fast under 3G but rather slow with 2G.

The 3G coverage are mostly just available in the city.

**People in Ho Chi Minh City will try to trap you by selling the SIM way more expensive then it should, this card I brought in Hanoi is just 65,000VND but in HCMC the first guy try to charge me 200,000VND then 100,000VND for some else but coz I brought this one very cheap so I told them finally someone offer 80,000VND which is rather more reasonable and actually not much that different in foreign currency.

P.S. 50USD is roughly equal to 1,000,000VND

        25USD is roughly equal to    500,000VND

So you can have the card the card that included the plan with less then 5USD.

Tip 2:

Never book a hotel in Airport, it’s way more then expensive or just book a 1 night to get you to the busy area so you can find hotel around which there’re a lot of them in the backpacker area of HCMC and the city of Hanoi.

If you had booked a hotel in advance in Hanoi, sometimes the taxi driver may drive you to some hotel that is not the one you told. Beware of that and double check the name if you have already booked online.

I had booked a hotel before in the airport which cost 35USD and I need an extra night, the lady ask how much is did the airport charge you, I said 30, she easily give me 20USD deal for you for an extra night!

            It can be always cheaper if you having few nights, even two, ask for the price for a night, in example they may say 30USD for a nice hotel then try to get it down to 28 then ask for a several night discount so basically pushing down to limit, it may be 25 or so at the end. If you are a budget backpacker that wants a nicer room but not a dorm, it’s really nice to save few bucks for EVERY single night and spend it on some cheap beer that can just be 1.5US per cup. Or a street snacks which cost 20,000VND(1USD) only.

I have stayed in Bali Hotel in District 1, 82Bui Vien Street, Pham Ngu Lao Ward. I am just there for a night, they offer a double bed room or triple room with a same price, 30USD which is really fine coz the triple room would have cost 40USD at normal and that room is rather big. I have checked the double bed room it’s not really that cools as triple one.

The hotel is new as it just opened for about 1-2months, try to talk them down if you stay there for a 2 nights or more and just saying, I don’t think it’s worth to have the breakfast there so just tell them you don’t need the breakfast so it may be even cheaper as it will cost 3USD if you get it on extra. On street snacks will be way better as I don’t think you will want many fried food in the early morning lol I am taking the flight next day so I don’t really have a choice but you do!

Tip 3:

If you are traveling on day trips or half day trip or so, the travel agent always raise price of cause, beware of “Cu Cin Tunnel” as the half day trip or day trip going there do NOT include entrance ticket to the venue so 4USD would be fine for the ticket or even lower if you find it, sometimes they just go for 5 and even 8 USD. For me 5 would be acceptable but 4 of cause more preferable: p

There’s an travel agency which sell bus ticket and everything they have really cheap ticket, I can even say they are the cheapest as they provide ticket from HCMC to Mui Ne for just 7USD one way (it’s a 6-7hours bus when tunnel is just about 3 hours away return) and they agency have cheap open bus ticket form HCMC all the way up to Hanoi as well, they have lots of different plans so you just have to let them know what cities you want to stop and they will try to organize for you.

Tip 4:

Which is not really a tip as many people knows, don’t buy stuff on the break station which the bus stop by within the day trip or so as the price there are way too expensive! The only thing is reasonable are drinks but with their price they have something in advance which is they have variety of choices for you as they have lots of those hand made work even tho you can buy it somewhere else way cheaper but Drinks are usually more reasonable price but not chocolate or other snacks. Sometimes it can be just way too high.

Tip 5:

            

There’re two kind of train in Vietnam that is traveler/tourist train and Government train. Don’t take government train, as it’s really bad even tho it’s cheaper. Last time my friend told me the travel agent just booked that for them and on their way back they booked a cabin on tourist train, it was just too tough perhaps lol

Tell me if you have some other tips also wanna share with others

Vietnam Part 1

Time for travel journal again before coming back to the busy, nervous Hong Kong
Trip to Vietnam this time.
Flight Route will be:
Hong Kong (HKG) to Hanoi (HAN) to Ho Chi Minh City (SGN), back to Hong Kong, all by Vietnam Airlines (VN)

if you have time to, try to check out Multi City sometimes coz you may find out some amazing price which you just can't turn down.
as I checked the same airline and flight just return from Hong Kong to Hanoi will cost around 330 euro but if plus SGN as well will just be about 360. so if you have the time it worth to do so totally.

Anyway

I know

I know I know I know, been week and some days again.

Amazing Love?

someone said: Love is uncontrollable, that's why it's amazing but suck at the same time.

It's not must to be suck but just when the love is not "equal"
usually just one way have much more love then the other side

Control your feelings, Catch your chance?

Someone told me... ""I think I should stop like you so much/'', ""I think I start like you too much.""

The fact is, if you like someone, why would you stop it. Even nothing is not gonna happen at the end, at least it's gonna be your friend I guess? and if both of you wanna go on further but just couldn't cause of enviromental fact, it's not really you can't, it's just you think you can't.

Someone told me that Long Distance Relationship is not gonna work, it's gonna be hard, it's gonna tough. They are all ture if you both didn't love as much as the other person do. Temptation all around you, things just around make you feel misarble perhaps but if you really like a person, if both of you do, there's nothing could stop the love go on.
That's why even the Catholic Church (the Vatican) didn't say no to love between mans coz love are just so unlimited and couldn't be stop no matter what.

When you have this feeling like this one or simular:

[It freaks me out too but I can't help how I feel!!
Ever since I met you I haven't been able to stop thinking about you...  Your constantly on my mind...  And I hurt on the inside cause I'm so far away from you right now.
I don't know what to do...  All I know is that I need to see you again!!
I need to hold you in my arms...  I miss everything about you!!
Your smile, the way you make me laugh, your hand in mine...  The taste of your lips...
I love you Felix, that's all I know for sure...](sorry to put you up here but um it really have a big impact on me]

this is kind of the messages of in love... you will just think about them and can't have a second thinking properly.. you now as I do...
sometimes you will just do whatever for love and give out all the exception you never do or it just start with the first exception you give it out to a person you don't even know. You just feel he's good and nice and try it out then all go well like never before it can.

""We should stop this, I don't wanna start to miss you"" Love just confuse people sometimes. someone said: "Understanding Love is one of the hardest things in the world"... Maybe it's, really is.but when someone tell you, I don't wanna start to miss you, trust me, they will already and it's just gonna regret if you don't make the most out of it.
When You lose a chance, you are not just losing it now. Don't ever think you may still have that chance again  some time later coz every single chance are brand new, they are all unique. When u lose it now, you lose it forever. Even you have a similar chance afterwards, it's never the same anymore. Never...
they new chance may give you an outcome which you predict the last one may give it to you but you will never ever have the same experience anymore. Things you lost in the middle, you forever lost it and you will never ever catch it back.

There will never be a same exact moment ever. should just hope, wish you can use these time good, make the most out of it even it's so short as 2 years, 2 months, 2 weeks or even just two days. If you give it a Go you may still have a nice memory afterwards and maybe you can have more after when another chance come by and you take it... but if you just let it go, say No to it. it doesn't mean anything to you perhaps, nothing at all in the moment or it just never gonna mean anything to you, you thought. It may not change your life but if you let the chance do it for you, your may just have a completely different life.

Take it or Leave it. sounds like so easy. Yea it's not hard to take it usually cause it just for a short time but when you Leave it, you let it go, pass by you forever. Every single moment which you let it pass by, it gone forever.
Catch it Now... love you all.

Fake Freedom, Fake Liberty

None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.
-- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
最無可藥救的是作為被奴僕的人還以為自已活在自由之中(Chinese Translation)

This is what I am talking about...
all the fake needs and demand created by the society makes you believe you are still a man with all the free will. Yea, you do have your free will but... your will have been controlled and you don't even know it! Think about what you got. Facebook, twitter, everything. Since when everyone needs to know what are you doing now and you wanted to share them.
It's reasonable that you shared some important and nice moments with your friends or so, to someone you care and love but when people start to share things to people who you don't really know, update your status every hour, tweeting your latest news ALL THE TIME! Mean it! All the time!!
Especially after Twitter and Facebook status can update by Text Message, it just go crazy, totally lol

Someone refuse to use all those but man are just so greedy and having unlimited demands and ofcause the enterprise
