If you have any specific travel questions on Vietnam, please leave it in the comments and I will try to answer.
I would like to thank our Vietnamese friend Anh first for joining us at the Vietnam travel meetup and providing first hand insights into traveling in Vietnam. Thanks or Cam On as we say in Vietnam to all attendees for sharing their travels.

I always recommend following a few local blogs/twitters before you go to a city as it helps you know the local mood and trends. Plus usually you can ask questions on the blog and the bloggers/twitteres usually respond. Learn Vietnamese in a Hurry, audio guide on basic Vietnamese phrases

We will be getting some of our Japanese friends to do short presentations on Japanese food, culture and fashion. We will also talk about ideas on traveling inexpensively in Japan. Its an open session, so I would invite you all to share your Japan travel experiences too.
