We are out Vietnam, so here's the breakdown
Best City: Blaz; Hanoi, the atmosphere are energ are rich Shiz; Danang, the people are very friendly.
Worst City: Hoi An. It's a tourist trap that only led us to disappointment.
Best Sight: Halong Bay. Can't be beat for its majesty.
Worst Sight: Hoi An (excluding My Son because we didn't go) See above.
Best food: Blaz; Bahn Mi we ate in Hue city. Shiz; deep-friued banana/sweet potato
Worst food: BBQ chicken burger. It had cold slices of chicken, bad BBQ sauce, and ants.
Best Hotel: 123 Hotel in Ho Chi Minh. Great location, wonderflu staff (though, no English), clean enough rooms.
Worst Hotel: Hotel in Hoi An. All the hotels were good and clean, but the staff here was really annoying.
Nicest Person: Too many to choose from, so we arbitrarily chose a lady who served us Pho in Ho Chi Minh City.
Worst Person: Tour guide for Monkey Island. He watched far too many movies about gangsters.
Should You Go to Vietnam?: As soon as possible. Go buy a ticket now. Make sure you go in the winter, though.
How We Will Travel Vietnam Next Time: Take a month or two and buy some scooters.
What We Wish We had Tried: One of the whole cakes from some of the bakeries.
Where We Wish We Had Gone: Blaz; My Son. Shiz; Chu Ci Tunnels
Foods You Should Try: Everything, but especially good Com, fried bananas, Pho, ABC bakery, a good Bahn Mi, Cao Lau
