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
