The message is clear: We ate a lot in Vietnam. And so I’ve decided to put all of those food places in which we’ve eaten together in one post. This is that post.

Vietnam is a food experience in itself. The food is so amazingly cheap and just so good that you can’t help but try everything you see – even the ones on the sidewalks. On our first evening, we went shopping at the night market which was walking distance from An Hung Hotel, in which we […]
I was supposed to entitle this post “Travel Diet Tip #1: Don’t go to Vietnam”. Because I think I gained a few pounds on my way back to the Philippines. And to think that I was there for only three days! Our first lunch in Hanoi was in Quan An Ngon.

The Streets of Hanoi in Black and White
The streets of Hanoi, Vietnam are usually bustling with motorcycles, bicycles, small cars and people walking in those distinct conical hats which they call “non la” or leaf hat. I was fascinated with this fact when I went to Vietnam a couple of weeks back, and so here is an experimental collection of photos showing these […]
I’ve been getting a lot of queries as to how much budget should be prepared to stay in Eskaya Beach Resort after my posts the past couple of days, so now I’m doing my homework so I could give everybody a rough idea.
