Finally back inside Vietnam! In Saigon, I paid just $8.25 to ride in a car to Vung Tau. This morning, I found a very nice room in a great location for $247 a month, but I won't move in until January 1st. In that apartment I will stay at least six months.

Since I entered Vietnam by land, I'm only allowed a one month stay, however, so I will get out soon, then fly back in so I can stay three months. For this next trip, I'm thinking about Taipei, Manila or Singapore, or I can make it simple and comfortable by returning to Cambodia.
