Travel the world
After a 40-minute ride on a bumpy, rented motorbike (a.k.a. scooter) we arrived at what we thought would be a mountain pass up to the Golden Bridge. That wasn't the case. Read the full post to hear why the Golden Bridge outside Da Nang, Vietnam didn't meet my expectations. Just in case you need to make a quick decision, here's everything you need to know to see the bridge.
Just in recent years, Ho Chi Minh City became known for its craft beer scene. I made this tour for craft beer lovers like me who want to try all the city's unique beers, even if they have a limited amount of time. Visiting the breweries in the order I suggest below adds up to only 2.7 km (1.7 miles) of walking. However, you can get a taxi (or order a Grab motorbike taxi for extra fun) anywhere along the route.
After our long flight, Ethan and I decided to treat ourselves. He needed a haircut and I told him to wait until we were in Vietnam. We found a funky barber shop where tattooed barbers played rap music and cut designs into fades. Ethan and I don't know much Vietnamese yet, but we came prepared with a picture and his barber was able to copy it perfectly. He paid ₫80,000 which equals $3.45 or €3.03.
