We can’t stress enough the hospitality we have been given here! While Vu Ban had quite a nice location surrounded by mountains, in the end it was the people who won us over.

There was one little guesthouse we stayed at in a city I don’t think I ever got the name of where the family was just so kind, bringing us out their homebrewed rice whiskey to try, teaching us some basic phrases and just generally making us feel like we were truly home. Those are always the best places and despite all the smack talk Vietnam tends to get, it’s one of the countries where we actually felt the people were the kindest. Sounds like you got a good taste of that in Vu Ban!

We are super grateful the weather has worked out so well. We are hoping it keeps up O:-) The people in Vu Ban really made the difference for me! Everyone was so friendly and helpful.

I love little towns like this. We stumbled on a few in Yunnan, China, that made a lasting impression, from the sincerely friendly locals to the delicious country food. Glad you’re having such gorgeous weather during your journey!

I couldn’t agree with you more! I actually really enjoy tourist places (most of the time) but it is places like these that make travel more meaningful and memorable.
