Home stay in Mekong delta
by chicabonita
We booked with Innoviet Travel Company a two days mekong delta tour including a home stay. It was an amazing and unforgetable experience.
We were a small group of 4 plus Thang our guide.
We stayed on a island near Tra On. The couple we stayed with were very friendly and in the evening we prepared dinner together. It was a wonderful evening!
The next day we visited the floating market and on the market in Tra On we bought the ingredients for lunch. On the market we were the only tourists! The second day for lunch we stayed with another family. We also prepared the food together. Their home was more modern then the one the night before.
The tour was more expensive than other tours like with Singh Cafe but the money was definitely well spend! Innoviet Travel Company,

Eating on the Streets
by Aidy_p
We have been warned not to eat food along the roadside unless you have a stomach of steel. I heeded that advice but was still tempted to try some of the carrot cake that the lady was preparing.
I stood there for about 15 minutes (Not to salivate over the carrot cake, but for my wife to finish her shopping) and actually saw two ladies eating at the "stall".
I'd still wouldn't try especially when she was cooking just at the side of the motorcycle-filled road. But if you're in HCMC for the long haul and don't mind trying out some roadside food, do tell me how it taste. Can't sleep well without knowing the truth!
Rain, Rain, Go Away!

Dont bring a mallet! Bring a 16L or 8L mounteneering backpack for your clothes and other things when u go to Vietnam. don't forget to bring raincoat so that you can roam around rain or shine. Also bring hiking shoes and rubber sandals.
Not for American Vets!
by neurochic
Okay the Cu Chi Tunnels are a tourist trap. And definitely don't take an American vet here. The whole time I was visiting the site, I couldn't help but think what my vet Dad would have felt coming back here. When you first arrive you are fed a propaganda tape which is quite graphic showing dead American GIs at the hands of the Viet Cong. Also here in these tunnels I discovered that I was clausterphobic. Definitely not a good time to discover this. Also if you don't want to get dirty I don't recommend you going through the tunnels because you get a red clay all over your back. Furthermore, mosquitos attack you out in the forest so bring mosquito spray!
