If Ho Chi Minh City is the cosmopolitan hub of Vietnam, then Hanoi is center of tradition and culture. While the city is sprawling, many parts retain its "old city" feel.

I started the day strolling through the Old Quarter, the tourist center of the city where many restaurant, shops, and bars can be found. I stopped by Ca Phe Pho Co, a wonderful cafe with a view of Hoan Kiem Lake, that serves egg milk cofffee. Then, I made a pass around the lake, stopping by the Temple of the Jade Mountain and learning a little bit about local ancient folklore. From there, I headed to lunch at the Hanoi Social Club, a cafe retreat that serves a delicious Western menu. Next I made my way to the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, though I could get into the building because it's closed in the afternoons. And then it was just a short stretch to the stellar West Lake, where many people go for outdoor recreation and socializing. In the middle of the Lake is Tran Quoc Pagoda, the oldest temple in Hanoi. Finally, I ended the day with a blind massage and a delicious bowl of bun bo nam bo! I'd say it was a pretty good day!

Vietnam to Cambodia Border Crossing

Vietnam shares three international border crossings with Cambodia at the following points: Moc Bai (Vietnam) to Bavet (Cambodia) is the longest established border crossing which is used on the main bus route between HCMC and Phnom Penh. Vinh Xuong (Vietnam) to Kaam Samnor (Cambodia) is a popular crossing amongst independent travellers. Many take a fast ferry boat from Chau Doc in the Mekong Delta as far as Phnom Penh. Tinh Bien (Vietnam) to Phnom Den (Cambodia) near Chau Doc gives access to southern Cambodia. It is a land crossing mainly used by locals and there’s little in the way of tansport at either side of the border (see our story below). Ha Tien (Vietnam) is just 8km from the Cambodian border but it is strictly for locals. Foreigners are not allowed to cross here. If you want to discover the country of Angkor Wat , the world’s largest religious building and Buddhism that is practiced by 96% of the population, do not hesitate to take a trip from Vietnam to Ca...
