directions

by davecallahan

Be sure to have a good set of maps with district tourist centers clearly marked and major routes designated. Your travel agent may be able to provide you with them or you might have to get them from a reputable seller like Barnes and Noble. Also get a good attraction guide so that you not only know where the sights are but have a little background information about them.A translation pamphlet with common phrases and words is handy too. Mostly you just have to point to the word or sentence in your pamphlet and show one of the locals and they will understand. Pronunciation of VietNamese words is quite tricky.

Packing for Vietnam

by King_Golo

A backpack might be more useful than a suitcase, especially if you are checking several places out to find the cheapest hotel. Clothes as needed, but you should definitely bring a warm high-collar pullover. Aircon can cause colds very quickly, and most tourist vehicles are airconned to a terrible temperature! When you go to North Vietnam in winter, make sure to bring more warm stuff and a raincoat. Hanoi's weather in January is mostly what the locals call "rain dust" - very thin rain the whole day with temperatures around 10°C. Good, firm shoes are essential for trekking (e.g. in Sapa or on Cat Ba Island), but also useful in the dusty streets of the cities. Bring an extra roll of toilet paper - in cheap hotels, you're likely to get the cheapest paper only. Mosquito repellent is useful, sunscreen absolutely necessary, especially when you plan a day at the beach. In Hanoi and HCMC,...

Snake Wine in the U.S.

by coura

Bringing snake wine into the U.S. is possible. I just brought snake wine into the country in January from Vietman through China. I claimed it as snake wine coming into the country and just asked for a Department of Agriculture employee when I went through customs. They looked at it, made sure it wasn't endangered, asked me why in the hell I would want to bring something like that home, and I was on my way. The key to the snake wine is strictly choosing the right species of snake. I brought home the cobra and this species is what most of the snakes wines are made with.

Where is the Pharmacy/Chemist? Packing Meds

by darrenbegley

After traveling to a few 3rd World Countries, I've found that even the simple remedies can be hard to find. I use a craft box that is sold to hold beads (WalMart). I take the individual bead containers and fill them with over the counter meds. Basics (Immodium (Chewables incase you can't handle a whole or want to be stopped up for 3 days), Asprin/Advil, Benydryl, Tylenol PM (Great for illness or sleep aid), cough strips, Motion Sickness med, Pepto pills (mild upsets). Any prescriptions I repackage but take the lable from the bottle and keep it in the box. It's worked for 10 countries and TSA hasn't commented since the over the counter items still have the name of the med ink on the pills and the prescriptions have the descriptions on the lables from the bottle. I always go for the pill or dissolvalbe strips for space savings and issues with TSA liquid problems.

Bring little - Take back a lot

by Rubycon

Travel light! Don't bring too much. Carrying luggage and bags through airports, train stations and heaving them onto buses and into taxis can be very tiring, especially when it's hot. If in need for extra bags and cases for your shoppings, they can be purchased in every city usually at a much lower cost than in your home country. Check the quality though. Some very cheap models barely survive the trip home, due to the rough treatment thru airport handling. Some people tend to pack a full outfit for every possible weather condition and social occasion. No need to. Cotton underwear, depending on the length of your stay, 2 pairs of trousers, a long sleeved cotton shirt or blouse, maybe a short one for the first day. T-shirts, polos, shorts, caps, hats etc. can be purchased at very low costs at local markets (exception maybe XXL-sizes) Try before buying. Sometimes laundry service in hotels...

Don't forget !!!!!

by pfsmalo

A smallish backpack for everyday use, carrying all your bits and pieces and perhaps a bottle of water. In most places good walking sandals (Teva style) are good enough for all day. Your own medicines plus any aspirines, paracetamol, plasters, stuff like that to give to dispensaries you find on your route. Too much film or memory cards is never enough. Plus at least a set of batteries and charger for digital people. Good hard wearing shorts(bermudas) are fine, even for women. Always useful for the kids - plenty of biro pens, writing pads, hair ties for girls are welcome and if the worst comes to the worst can be used as a bribe for that not to be missed photo.

Be Prepared - It rains and shines in one day here

by cheerssweetie

If visiting Hoi An - An extra Bag may be needed for all the tailor made clothes and shoes you will acquire. A lightweight raincoat - or a fold up umbrella - After the heat of the day it tends to rain for about an hour in the evening so a raincoat comes in handy. An umbrella is great too - you can kill two birds with one stone with this item - shade in the day from the sun and shelter from the rain. Bring some 'Wet Ones', wipes with you. These come in handy for the times when you have to use those squat toilets and for those days when the heat is just too much. Don't forget your adaptor for your laptop. chargers etc.

Great for Mosquito Bites!!

by uaflightgirl

My friend gave this to me for my Mosquito bites in vietnam, liquid laundry soap! she brought some in a little travel container. All you do is just dab a bit on each bite, and it will not only stop itching immediately, the bite will go away in a day or two. Amazing! All you need is dab, you can you your finger or a Q-tip to put it on each bite.

My Backpack

by muddybok

I just recently retired my old Karrimor backpack. This is a new Karrimor Global 50-70liters.It come with a removable day sack which is very useful for camera storage, guide books & etc. The Karrimor Global, is one of the 'world traveler' rucksacks with so many features i may need extra columns to write about it.The Karrimor Global is aimed at serious travelers, capable of conversion from a suitcase to a proper rucksack. The Global can cope with airlines and trekking porters all in one go.The Karrimor Global also comes with the Karrimor Gold Star guarantee which puts in the true 'lifetime' category. The carrying system is hidden behind a zipped panel which rolls away into a small storage pocket to reveal the SA Super Cool back system, within a few seconds your suitcase becomes a rucksack.
