Travel to Vietnam in 2018, what to do

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dreaming of a wonderful holiday to some parts of Asia? Travelers often think of check in quaint cafes, encounter busy traffic, see more motorbikes, visit temples, eat noodles or rice or all that kind of Asian stuffs etc during your <a href="https://www.indochinavoyages.com/5-travel-experiences-authentic-identical-for-your-travel-vietnam.html" target="_blank">travel to Vietnam 2018</a></div>

<b>1. Sitting on the low plastic chair at the street sidewalk to enjoy the yummy street foods </b></div>
</b><div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Believe or not but it is true for me, to enjoy it right after the foods left the frying pan or the charcoal and hand to you. Let’s act like a local whether you are traveling in Hanoi, Saigon, Cantho, Haiphong or Hoian, find the recommended places and just sit down the low plastic chair of the street food vendors. The crowded it is, the better as that’s how we rate a good street restaurant. Watching the locals the way they order the foods then get the mouth-watering food for you. </div>

<b>2.  Watching the hustle morning of a wholesale floating market in Mekong river</b></div>
</b><div style="text-align: justify;">
Different from some orderly organized floating markets in Thailand that operate daily during the day time, The Cai Rang or Phong Dien market in the Mekong delta of Vietnam show its uniqueness and nowhere in the world you can get the same experience. Those wholesale markets are trading points for Mekong farmers, traders who come and deal with big volume of products.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>3. Dining the traditional meal in a local hosted family </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is no better way to understand a culture if you are not interacting with it. When you travel to Vietnam, apart from what you have read from home, there are always questions in mind for what you have seen on the streets, on your way of travel. Question like; I don’t see many elderly people in streets, where are they now? Why there are a lot of men sitting in the street, what are they looking for?</div>

<b>4. Practicing Tai Chi by the sunrise in magnificent Halong Bay </b></div>
</b><div style="text-align: justify;">
To name a few famed cruise operators, you might do a search for Indochina Junk, Paradise Cruise or Orchid cruise. Only with overnight cruise option, you can have the once-in-a-lifetime experience of practicing the Tai Chi by the sunrise in the middle of this legendary bay. Imagine a peaceful early morning, you wake up with the singing of the birds from the nearby rock islands, open the window of your cabin, look out and question yourself -  “am I in paradise, it it real?” as the natural setting is so impressive with emerald water and splendid rock formation.  </div>

<b><div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>5. Being on the back of a bike and get lost in the crazily weaved traffic</b></div>
</b><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you want to get that experience in style, search for some Vespa tour agents or contact a local tour operator to arrange for it. A Vespa guy will come up, takes you around his home town like a city tour. All you need to do is relax but hold his waist firm and watching the magically chaos of traffic. It’s pretty sure that you will have a lot of fun to keep for your memory and to telling your friends home.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is not a popular service in Vietnam but some travel company to have their own network of hosted families, can be in Mekong, Dalat, Saigon, Hoian or Hanoi and let check up with the travel operator if they can arrange for you. It is advisable to bring a bottle of wine or some postcards, T- shirts of your hometown as gift if you are able to make this opportunity possible. It’s worth planning and it will fill your memory of a true Vietnam forever.</div>
