Hi gang, This time back, I would really like to play basketball again. I have been looking up at the courts and equipments in Vietnam; and things have not been very encouraging: the courts seem few and far in between, and the equipments appear to ...
I see they play around HCMC, local kids mostly and they don't seem too coordinated with this sport. Maybe we can relive the 80's playing to lesser competition? hahaha Read More

Do I really have to leave my passport behind? by MIA2013
When I was in Vietnam during Tet 2013. I stayed at hotels in Dalat, Mui ne, Nha Trang and in D.1. I had to leave my passport at the desk reception and they keep it until I checked out. D.1 New World Hotel just made a copy of my passport and gave it ...

Not sure about the lease terms, but the monthly payment to local authorities' beer fund is valid for as long as you own the business, though. Either pay up, or be harassed by the people who are supposed to protect you. Read More
