vietnam travel reference
i was cleaning out my drawers and i found a few business cards from my previous travels to vietnam - 2000-2004:
hotel 265
265 de tham st., district 1 (X-pham ngu lao)
ho chi minh city
phone: 8367512
i stayed here on and off for about 5 weeks in early 2000. back then it was a haven for european and australian backpackers and budget travelers. now, i'm sure that it is teaming with american (usa) tourists and travelers looking for colonel kurtz.
quan an 22
duong lien tinh 15, khu pho 7
thi tran nha be
phone: 8738198
if it crawls, swims, or flies, then you can probably eat it here. whether you prefer turtle stewed in its own shell or snake heart and blood in a shot glass with rice wine, this restaurant can accommodate almost any exotic appetite.
sinh cafe
tourist service office (with locations in every major and minor vietnamese city)
52 luong ngoc quyen st.
hanoi
phone: 84.4.9261568

sinh cafe is one of many domestic tourist companies in vietnam. you can rent cars, minibuses, and large buses. bookings for tours, hotels, and transportation are also available. there's also a money exchange service, but you will find better rates at the banks. the best deal is the taking the air conditioned buses to and from the various cities. i've taken buses from hanoi to saigon and places in-between.
phan thai hotel
44 hang giay st.
hanoi
phone: 84.4.8243667
