What is the best restaurant in HCMC? by Peter Goudge
Hi All I've been in Vietnam (mostly in HCMC) for coming on 7 years, but I still haven't found a reasonably priced restaurant that I can 'call my own'. Sure, I've found plenty of good ones, but none that I'd especially visit again. Recommendations ...

You've got... NO mail by Travel12
I've been waiting on a Christmas card from my family in the states since early December. Should I just consider it lost forever or does a regular card envelope take several months to arrive? Also waiting on a package sent by USPS the tracking # has ...

Thank you for the location of the Customs office! I'll save it for future reference. Actually my taxi fare would be about a 300,000VND trip, which is half of what I paid in duty. Don't think it's worth the trip this time. Read More

Well I received a notice that my box will be delivered today (I could have picked up Friday but opted for the drop off Monday). Which means it took my box only five days to get through customs. Majority of the wait was on travel. The notice also ... Read More
