Lovely photos Juno I’m very jealous (maybe not of the 3:30am wake up call) but definitely of the views wow.

Comment on How to Successfully Getting Tailor Made Clothes in Hoi An, Vietnam by Jarmo

Jarmo — Tue, 15 May 2012 15:33:10 +0000

I got trousers made in Hoi An, which were really nice, perfect fit. I got them to replace ones that had finally fallen to pieces a week before.

The place I got them from was one of the slightly bigger ones, they were a bit disorganized with them, as they did them first without a back pocket that I had wanted, so they still had to add that, and it took an extra day. So all in all, I had to go there three times, as they wanted me to come for first fit before they finished the trousers. So do make sure you have plenty of time, in case they need alterations.

I know you wrote this over a year ago but this is the first time I am reading it! I have bookmarked it so that whenever I feel like I can’t do something, I can read this and it will give me a boost. Your story is so inspiring, you should be so proud of what you have accomplished and that you have the courage to take control of your life! You are such a special person, I can see why the Bugnos love you so much!

So glad we haven’t had to do a border run before! Especially one as epic as that. I am sure you will be fine and they won’t even check it in a weeks time

I absolutely dread visa application etc. Living in Europe and mainly travelling around Europe I rarely have to apply for visas but they are such a pain. Why can’t we all have open borders (you know apart from the criminal activity)? would make it easier for us travellers though.

Comment on Her Packing List: Five Extra Something in My Backpack by Tao

Tao — Tue, 15 May 2012 10:35:14 +0000

I always pack the gear inside my backpack in a dry bag (used for camping and canoeing enthusiasts…a waterproof tube sac that rolls down and clips closed) it’s come in handy so many times in a downpour – I get to my destination and always have at least one set of dry clothes. Also, I learned years ago from a couple of travelers to bring a dry towel with me…it dries in under 30 mins…an hour in really damp climates…and can be used as a towel, a face cloth, a sweat rag, a picnic holder and in a pinch a scarf if the temperature gets cold unexpectedly.

Comment on No, I’m Won’t Be Going to Jail, Apparently; My 573km Visa Run by Ruth

Ohhh, that’s a long visa run but at least it’s over. Good job travel’s worth the hassles it sometimes brings, eh? I think you shouldn’t worry too much about the overstay. A colleague of mine overstayed for two months by accident because he didn’t know his visa had run out. He had a couple of $100s fine but he didn’t even have to leave VN.

If you decide to do another visa run though, there are things worth seeing in SW Vietnam so you can make the most of the side jaunt: Phu Quoc and the Mekong Delta of course but the border town Ha Tien also has enough to see and do for a day or two too, even though so few travellers stop there.

As for the invitation letter, I know you do need one to get the special airport pick-up visa (so it does exist) but then didn’t have to have one when I got my first VN visa in Laos, nor for any extensions. Weird.
