Trang Bang
Two days ago, my friend took me to Trang Bang, just bordering Cambodia. This place is similar to the old Bac My Thuan, especially since so many people come right up to your car, but instead of trying to get you to buy food, convincing you to cross Cambodia to hit the Casinos. We stopped by a duty free shop, which is interestingly similar to a mimi version of Costco in the States. The prices are comparable to the States in general, but more expensive for many household items.

More Expensive
Everything seems to be much more expensive compared to last year. The same hotel room, which cost me $17USD per night last year, is now $25USD per night. I went to the same restaurant, called Thanh Binh, this morning, and I spent $85,000 DONG for a rice dish, a bow of banh canh cua, a nuoc mia, and an ice tea. I wonder about other things. We’ll see.
Arrived in Saigon
After 30 hours, I’ve finally arrived at the Hotel in Vietnam. It’s 12AM on Saturday 2/23 now so it’s too late to get a SIM card, but I’ll do it after I eat tomorrow. I’m going to get something to eat now.
