Just wondering how situation is in NHA Trang now. Is it very busy? Is it worthwhile to spend there a couple of days at the beach?

I'm going there soon but south of Nha Trang first. I fly to Cam Ranh, then south to Phan Rang Beach. I hope to have my base there. I'm getting fed up for Thai regulations and all the BS. I get 45 days visa free in Vietnam and after 5 r/t I like it more and more.

Ladies are also more European style, not easy, but stylish and educated.

Plus I can drive comfortable, maybe even buy a car.

 

This is my first time there. If I like it I'll travel up and down the cost and may that'll be my "home" in future.

I like Dalat as well and it's only 3h by bus.

 

It's the biggest feast soon - Vietnamese TET holiday - and I've two invitations to join.

TET seems to be very big thing. I'm curious to see what it is about. I know they eat well.

 

 

For most Vietnamese, Tet is an opportunity for family reunions (many businesses close for the week as people return to their hometowns). Every home has an altar for honoring ancestors, and families flock to the gravesites of deceased loved ones, bearing flowers, incense and gifts."

 

Yes, it will be manic on the build up before and Tet. Very lively. Then it gets a more sensible. Like a Songkran without the water nonsense.

I'm currently in "The Hell Hole" Saigon, on the way back to the States to pull out all the funds before Trump's wrecking ball goes to work...

 

I already miss Nha Trang.... My new favorite place in Asia.

 

Yesterday I met my old Vietnamese friend first time face to face and it was great. We've been writing on LINE Chat for 6 or 7 years. She's so pretty and sexy and the best thing is she doesn't seem to know it...

Vietnamese women are very loyal and trust worthy and keep their promises.

I took her to a Thai (!) restaurant. At first she wasn't amused but after great meal she was so happy 🙂

Me too, I don't like heavy Vietnamese "pork everything" cuisine...

The bill for two, with special fruit drinks, was only 214 000VND or 308THB or $ 8.60.

Vietnam IS bargain!

I choose "Daily Seafood Special 99 000VND" 2x at Chill Thai's Airport location.

Do you like old classic bikes?

 

Nha Trang has them at "Palms Bistro" restaurant. Old restored German Nazi era bikes, mainly BMW, and others. Some must be very valuable.

Brad Pitts paid $ 400 000 for one similar.

Food looks good too but I didn't eat there. They let me check out bikes anyway.
