Got into Mui Ne (on the south central coast of Vietnam) yesterday. It is amazing here. Probably will spend 4 nights here. All the hotels are right on the beach. I have a little bungalow, with TV, and hot shower for 11 dollars/night. The food at the restaurants is really cheap and good. I had breakfast for around 60 cents this am (banana pancakes and banana milk shake). The sea food is amazing. Last night I had shrimp and rice and mango milk shake for 1.50 (mind you they did forget my order and it took an 11/2 hours but this isn't typical and the waitress was only about 10 years old).
The beach is still relatively untouched. There are several hotels but it is hasn't been spoiled to0 much yet. Yesterday while on the beach a farmer went by with about 6 cows. Then some fisher men were pulling in their net right in front of the hotel, a few of the tourists helped. It's so authentic feeling. I haven't really been to any other tropical beaches. But I have feeling the Dominican or Mexico lacks this local experience. Some of the tourists complain because the beach is a little dirty (not to bad to me, the odd plastic bag, but I"m used to Oxford House). In about 10 years the beaches will probably be cleaner, but not as original. Today I am going to check out some sand dunes and go sand sledding? Should be interesting.

I'm jealous.
I wish I was back in Vietnam on the beach instead of freezing my butt off in Winnipeg!
Sounds like you're not suffering too much over there. I'd love to hear a description of sand sledding.
Love, MOM
