  • Theme: Biking

    If you're a serious biker like my hubby, chances are, you would have asked if it is possible to tour Vietnam by bike. The answer is yes! And the best bike to do it over here is the classic Russian Minsk. There are some minsk bike clubs over here and they have gatherings where tales of adventures are swapped . So, if you're keen to do this, I suggest you find out more by clicking on this site :

    The Minsk Club

    Touring Vietnam is not without risks, the terrain is probably unfamiliar to you and the road sucks compared to first world countries. It's better to do it with a guide and with insurance, of course. Ask the club for recommendations.


    Equipment: Better to bring your own full-face helmet here, you wouldn't want to wear someone else's stinky helmet, right??

     The dish costs 100.000 dong today. So it is definitely a lot cheaper than mentioned in this article.

     What an interesting and fun page, Glen. I had a blast looking it all over. I think Vietnam is a place we want to go someday.
