Somehow I don't like this place anymore ... let's choose another :D

You could see in my last posting the form of Vietnam. It's a little bigger than Germany and the travelling is much more difficult. Vietnam is a poor country and therewith the possbilities for a good street network are missing.

I'll introduce you some ways of shifting I used:

__The train

Tàu chợ - Ga Đồng Hới
(train station of Đồng Hới)

Travelling by train is a very popular kind. You can reach nearly every bigger city 'cause the railway system connect them with each other. I visited Nha Trang, Dong Ha and Dong Hoi with it. That are just small distances but you can also drive from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh.

You can buy tickets for chairs if your destiny isn't far away.

Tàu chợ
("market train")

For long distances are the bed tickets. They cost more than twice but it's comfortable.

Vé nằm & cơm đặt
( bed tickets & booked meal)

Most trains also have air conditioners to assure a pleasant travel.
There is always personnel who sells drinks and snacks.

Sữa đá
(milk with ice)

If you want to have a real meal you can book it. They buy fresh ingredients and handle them on board.
Another attractiv point to travel by train is the fact that you can see a lot of the landscape.


You should go by train at least one time if you're in Vietnam.
