    Vietnamese visa

    Posted by lakerb 17 April 2007

    Only citizens of certain countries can visit Vietnam without an entry visa (valid for 30 days). Those countries include: most Asean countries, Korea, Japan & Scandinavia (2005). All other citizens are required to get an entry visa before departure (visa issued prior to departure by Vietnamese consulates or embassies) or a pre-approved entry visa (visa is issued on arrival at Vietnam’s international airports) supplied before arrival in Vietnam.

    Vietnam food not to miss

    Posted by lakerb 17 April 2007

    Pho (rice noodle soup, pronounced “phur”) is a traditional meal in northern Vietnam, particularly in Hanoi, dating back thousands of years.

    Pho looks like a simple dish, but it actually takes a lot of skill and experience to prepare properly. A good bowl of pho calls for sweet and pure bouillon, soft rice noodles that are soaked in boiling water for just the right duration, and of course, tender and fragrant meat (chicken or beef).

    Pho Bo is noodles with sliced beef while Pho Ga is noodles with shredded chicken.

    Vietnam travel tips

    Posted by lakerb 17 April 2007

    Here are some tips for you while you are in Vietnam:

    Things to remember:
    - It's in your best interests not to drink the tap water, especially after flooding!
    -Avoid cycle rides after dark.
    -Dress modestly and appropriately when visiting local dwellings and religious sites, etc.
    - Leave your valuables behind before a night out on the town, or going to the beach.
    - When crossing the road – especially in HCMC – always keep looking to the left and right and walk slowly!
    - Don't offer money directly to beggars – instead donate to a local charity or offer a small gift, such as pens.
    -However frustrated, don't loose your temper (“losing face”), as it won't get you very far!

    I wish you a nice trip to Vietnam.
