Day 35 Monday June 8, 2009
Rented a motorscooter and went to Cat Co 2 beach. Wasn't feeling to great and the beach was crappy and the chair rental was little high 60,000 VND. Hung around town and made our plans for the next day.

Vietnam facts from my experience:
-Money is in Dong, abbreviated VND ...17,500 VND= $1.00 US
-Most places quote you prices in US dollars
-They charge 3% to use a credit card
-They take your passport at every hotel to get permission from the government to get permission for you to stay.
-Seems that women carry the heavy carts & baskets and do the harvesting in the rice fields while the men do the ploughing in the rice fields and tout in the streets in the city...Cush!
-You can rent a kayak for $1/hour
-You can rent a bicycle for $1/day
-You can rent a motorbike for $5/day
-People dry their crops and hay on the side of the roads and miraculously no one drives over them, amazing.
