It has been a while now already since I was in Vietnam and especially with the European winter creeping around here, I can only think back on how pleasant it was travelling aorund here. Temperaturewise but also in how diverse everything here was, especially the landscape. Vietnam has a decent balance between city life and country side and everything that there is in between. On of the cool things in the Southern part is how boats are a part of the transporting culture, just using this as a better way to move around. In the Southern city of Vung Tau I took a boat to head back to the main capital Ho Chi Min city or Saigon (I'm still not sure what people prefer to call the city?). Travelling over the Long Tau river this was just a way more cool way of transportation than heading over there by car or train. For some reason, boats (regardless if these are ferries or not) just have a way more relaxing kind of vibe. And it doesn't even matter how fast they are. This travel was on a fast ferry
