Vietnamese Pho is delicious and can be found nearly anywhere for around a buck a bowl!

Halong Bay is one of the greatest wonders of the world.
Not many people live in Halong Bay. But you do find small, floating fishing villages like this one.
The quiet, massive serenity of Halong Bay is something you soon won't forget.
We will float amongst the massive karsts in our own private Chinese junk (flat bottomed boat).
We'll spend a day and a night on this boat as we sit back and take it all in! The boat's all ours so we can do as we like! - photo by Jonny Bierman

Why walk when you can get on a rickshaw!?
