Mac seriously? Want fast food go lotteria. Actually, don't even bother eating Western food there. They don't even know how a fish and chips suppose to taste like.

Yes, Mac.just want to try the Mc Pork there. Also, I can't stand the traditional food like Pho. So food is a challenge to me. Tried lotteria and jollybean there too. Western food ? Yet to see any there..

There is, in d1. If I remember correctly, in between tran hung dao and pham ngu lao. The street that connect both or the one before/after that. Stall name quite obvious one cause got the word singapore

Edit: just asked my fren who bring me there. She says it's the street behind gossip

rent a bike from your hotel or easytiger if u able to ride a bike ( but its illegal) or easy rider from hanoi to phong nha ...is an easy ride up .....if visiting dark cave remember to bring a change of clothes

alternatively go with oaxlis adventures for the tours to other caves , warning: the waters are very cold now ... just came back from it

Thanks for Ur reply Ultrafire!

I will only be in dong hoi for 1 day. Read about oxalis but their tour don't come cheap and if I'm not wrong, shortest is 2d1n treking and camping.

So I am planning to settle for self ride and self trek. Not too sure if I should visit dark/paradise or phong nha cave.

I will also be squeezing in DMZ after the cave as well. Hopefully someone here can advise me further!

Does the airport in Vietnam sell SIM card for internet usage?
Yes. There is a discussion on this a few pages ago.
I bought Viettel sim for around 160k dong. Get the slip of instruction to get the data plan which lasted till midnight everyday. Then you need to send SMS again to renew it.

anyone been to Phu Quoc?
The flight from HCM to PQC, is from the same airport as SIN-HCM?
For SIN-PQC-SIN, Jetstar's site only shows a midnight arrival for the HCM-SIN leg.
Whereas if i break the travel into 2, i can do a 145pm arrival for PQC-HCM leg, and 335pm departure for HCM-SIN leg. If same airport, more than enough time to catch the returning flight to SIN. Wonder why this doesnt show up for the single SIN-PQC-SIN route...
