Nha Trang was my rest stop after all the planes, buses and trains. I booked a lovely little room with a balcony, minutes away from the beach and settled in for a packed schedule of beaches, food and relaxing. The climate, prices, and location made it a perfect choice.
I spent my time reading and drawing, snapping photos and chasing authentic Vietnamese food and spending time on palm tree lined white sands with newfound friends. I also found my favorite cafe spots with fast wifi and delicious cold drinks where I escaped the hottest parts of the day. Since I was paying $9 a night for a big private room with a full private bath and a balcony, in the most convenient location and at maximum $10 a day on food (if I really went all out and bought cheese), I calculated that I could live, eat, drink and shop beachside and it would still cost less than just the price of accommodation in a Western city. How can you say no to that? 🙂
