First time in Vietnam: My Valentine Escapade to Vietnam – Dalat Part 2
Travel StoriesFor the second part of my Vietnam getaway, I availed of a customized travel package from a travel agency in Ho Chi Minh. Took the sleep bus heading to Dalat, 9pm to 4am. Dalat is like Baguio, Philippines in terms of weather. It’s cold. Like Ho Chi Minh, there are many motorcycles everywhere, be careful in crossing the road. You can actually buy flowers here that will last 3-5 years for a very cheap price. I forgot what type of insect is this, but its delicious. You have to pay 40,000 Dong for the entrance fee. Its worth it. My favorite places in Dalat are the Valley of Love and Crazy House. It’s beautiful in there. Check my previous entry of my Sweet Escapade in Vietnam – ho Chi Minh here.
I booked my flight via Philippine airlines and Cebupacific, total of $250usd RT. As soon as I arrived in Saigon International Airport, i looked for the bus 152 at the airport exit. This bus is probably the cheapest means of transportation to get out of the airport. I just pay 5000 dong for myself, and another 5000 dong for my baggage. Get off at Ben Thanh Market and took a cab heading to Saigon Pearl in which I stayed for 1 week. I cannot suggest for an accommodation, since I stayed with my cousin here for free. But you may opt for Booking.com to check for cheapest accommodation available. The weather in Ho Chi Minh is like in Manila, it’s HOT! It a beautiful country yet i must warn you! You’re gonna love to buy bags and shoes because it’s cheaper here! There are plenty of motorcycles everywhere, and with regards to transportation, you must be familiar of bus number destination 🙂 It’s pretty cheap though. Since I didn’t travel alone, we usually take a cab. Not much people can speak English! Vietnam Adventure Part 2 DALAT

If you are thinking of heading off to a country outside of the EU, there can sometimes be important visa requirements for you to successfully enter. In collaboration with John Mason International Movers, here are the requirements for popular countries around the globe. United States The good news is that if you’re from the United Kingdom, you’ll be happy to know that a visa waiver programme is available and is valid for a maximum of 90 days. This also applies if you happen to be from Australia, Ireland, Spain, Italy or Germany. Click here to be taken through to the application process. On the other hand, if you’re not from the above, or a few other listed countries, you’ll have to pay $130 instead of a mere $14. New Zealand Like the United States, New Zealand also invites people of certain countries to enjoy a waver programme. So if you’re from pretty much the same countries mentioned above, you’ll be able to visit New Zealand for 90 days or less.
