Hanoi or Ho Chi Mihn?
I am going to Vietnam in late February. I can only go to Hanoi or Ho Chi Mihn since it's only for 10 days. Which one should I choose?
HCMC offers the hustle-bustle of a modernizing city and would be very colorful. On the other hand, the natural lure of limestone islands in Halong Bay and the natural parks with endangered species may be a fleeting phenomenon I won't get to see in the future.
Bea and I will be going to Singapore - Malaysia (mostly discovering Malaysia) - Thailand for 3 weeks, causing trouble up the region. My nose is dipped deeply into Lonely Planet as we try to hit the hot spots. So far, we are looking at KL, Melaka, Tioman Island, Taman Nagara, Krabi (possibly...), Bangkok. My colleague in Malaysia wants to go scuba or snorkeling together too.
I would dearly appreciate recommendations!!! (and the nomadlife community would probably love to see it too!)
