    Default Anyone been to Vietnam?

    I'm going with my girl in February - we are just organising it now. Has anyone been? Any Tips?

    I'm writing it all down here..

    I'm very excited, just gotta get through uni exams first

    A mate of mine went with his girlfriend last year, they did Thailand, Laos and Vietnam. Apparently the locals in most places are cool, as long as you aren't a yank, some of them can get pretty irritable about that. After hearing some of their stories, be careful about travelling by motorcycle, lots of crazy ****ers on the roads. Oh and he reckons that some of the local "delicacies" can be pretty freaky but I've always lived by the rule that anything is edible if it's bbq'd/fried/gas-axed for long enough, so I say go nuts!
    Beau Duke: Man, I'm never gonna get outta this car again. I'm gonna live in it, I'm gonna eat in it and I'm gonna make sweet love to it!
    Luke Duke: You mean you're gonna make sweet love IN it.
    Beau Duke: Oh no, I'm gonna have sex with it.

    When they dish up food, don't ask what it is. Just pretend it's chicken or beef.

    Ha ha, thanks for the pointers! I'm really looking forward to it. The other day someone told me how you cross a busy road. Just grab on to a local who is crossing the road and hope for the best!

    Yeah, I've heard nothing but good reports. By the looks of this video, I'll have to shed a few more pounds before we go if I want to get into the Cu Chi tunnels! I'm a bit bigger than that guy!
