It’s true that I got off to a rocky start when I first arrived in the country. But by the end of my trip, I realized that even a month wasn’t nearly enough time to explore this beautiful country. The landscapes, the people, the history, everything filled my trip with emotion and wonder. Here are…
Located in the province of Lào Cai, Sa Pa is a mountain town home to many ethnic minorities. Getting there may not be easy if you’re afraid of narrow, winding roads, but if you want to discover another side of Vietnam, you might be tempted to spend a few days (or more) there.
To get from Laos to Vietnam, you can either fly or cross the land border, which is what I did.After completing the necessary administrative formalities in Vientiane, I was more than ready to take the bus to Vietnam. Little did I know that the experience would be interesting, to say the least.
