    Jul 14 2023
    Hoi An, the Unesco World Heritage Site's streets are busting at the seams with visitors. It certainly appears that the old town has returned to the days of packed streets prior to the pandemic. I'm in Hoi An with an up-to-date report on the ancient town, its sites, and what it's like to visit one of Vietnam's top destinations. I have some tips on where you can avoid the crowds and some other things you'll want to know especially if it's your first visit.

  • 5 More Annoyances To Watch Out For In Vietnam

    5 More Annoyances To Watch Out For In Vietnam
    Jul 4 2023
    In this episode I discuss 5 more typical annoyances or things tourists should be aware of when visiting Vietnam, especially for the first time. Once you master these and the last 5 in a previous episode you'll be much better prepared. As a disclaimer, there are similiar things to watch out for in other countries in the region and beyond. In some cases like the cyclo driver scams, knowing what to expect can save you several dollars and a really uncomfortable experience. In this episode I also share some sounds from a Vietnamese funeral and review what happens during the 3 day ceremony that during your travels you may witness.
    Thanks again for your support!
