view from us$25 room. i had the pool to myself under the stars. appreciated after a long day on the bike. i learned cycling up through vietnam would be much harder than cycling through cambodia because of 1) broken glass, 2) potholes and 3) the vietnamese. i had motorcyclists riding alongside me talking to me in vietnamese for mile after mile, one guy for an hour. whenever i stopped a vietnamese person would stop, even doing u-turns on the highway. i was offered all kinds of things for a "good price", including a motorcycle tour of nha trang over 300 miles away. for every one successful stop for drinks / food i had two unsuccessful ones with vietnamese shopkeepers displaying products they didn't have to sell (displaying empty packaging) or asking for up to four times the going rate.
