The view from the airport to the city is amazing, especially in summer. Beautiful, green rice fields and old clay-coloured houses, with random brown murky rivers winding their way through.

The way the city hugs the lake gives it less of a city feel adn more of a local town kinda feel.

Food = amazing. Truly, amazingly delicious, and absolutely dirt cheap, along with the beer. Streets freaked me out until I went to Saigon. The first time you cross can be nerve racking, but after a while it’s kinda like a fun challenge.
