Xin Chao from Vietnam :) Dec 2013

So now im in Vietnam, after Philippines. When i came to country i was reading somewhere that Finnish people can visit country for 15 days without visa so i was thinking to save money and time in beginning and just go throught border and get visa after 15 days. So just fast to Ho Chi Minh city. I was planning to spend just one night in Ho Chi Minh city but like last time in Vietnam i had problems getting money on atm so had to wait couple more days there.

So after couple days was heading to Mui Ne because i was reading there could be regular surfing although it was more kitesurfing place. I was reading quidebook and got image that its more like small and calm place  but not really, quite basic tourist place, expencive board prices and dont think that so good waves for surfing so decided i dont want to pay those prices on board. Kitesurfing there is probably very nice but expencive and for my talent of surfing looked way out of reach now.

So i did basic thing that usually in Asia: renting motorbike and went to see fishing village which was nice, can recommend that :)

But that place didnt feel my kind of place so soon i continued to Dalat because i was reading there could be some kind of climbing there.

But when i came to Dalat every climbing office said that its too wet season that they dont have any climbing activity now so no lucky on that also.

But when i came to Dalat there was this Huan from Dalat easy riders, which is motorbike club who take tourists to ride on different parts of Vietnam and he was trying to sell me 3 days trip through mountains. First i was thinking im not going because price was little high for my budget but then i was reading so good experiences on internet about that trip so i was changing my mind and agreed that trip. Route would be Dalat-Buon Ma Thuot and end would be Nha Trang so nice way to get back to coast also.

So next day me and Huan started with Huans motorbike and yes that was right: so incredible mountain  views and we were stopping so many interested places, coffee plantasies, rubber tree plantations, silk factory, carpenters place, brickyard, temples, waterfalls and many kind of interested places, dont even remember all of them but really good picture about Vietnamese handicraft works basically, hard to imagine better way to see so much in so little time so it was really incredible and views were all the time awesome and people so friendly, loved that!!!!

And first night was nice because we were sleeping on locall house in little village, was so ingredible to see again Vietnamese village life: some elephants there, pigs, chickens, bulls, men playing volleyball, little boys following me and exited again when i take pictures of them and show those to them, again huge success :) 

Some places was seeing women making dinner in real fire on dark evening, just cant give you that imagine really, those are experiences you just have to experience by yourself, i never forget feelings of Vietnamese little villages, some say they are primitive but i think they got something that people in cityes has lost very long time ago!!! And Vietnamese dinner, oh boy, food is so good there :)

All together have to say that that was also one of best experiences that i have had in Asia and can really really recommend Huan for Easyriders for your quide, if you read this Huan, THANKS A LOT!!!!

And now im in Nha Trang and realised that my 15 days free being in Vietnam is soon full so i thought i continue my visa. Exept that wasnt really visa i have, just somekind of permission to be country and thei said me that i should have taken real visa on border that you can continue. Now afterwards visa is more expencive and takes more time so i have to wait here so long that my visa is ok, thei said it takes week to get visa, so im trapped here atleast week now before can continue north. Just my luck. But tell you later how my trip continues...
