- Good Morning Vietnam!We landed in a foggy and wet Hanoi city a week before "Tet", the Lunar New Year. The rush in the city was comparable to the final week before Christmas, so lots of people rushing around buying gifts and decorations. Posted by Teamhill in Team Hill | Feb 9, 2012

- It Actually Felt Cold!Disclaimer: Nerdia has had 4 (admittedly rather dilute) cocktails. Blog content may not match reality. Whoops, didn't blog yesterday. Here's what we got up to: Spent the morning at the Ethnology Museum, just outside the city centre. We visited Posted by NarLin in The Nerds at Number Ten... VN Again | Feb 8, 2012
- Something fishyIn Vietnamese circles, the island of Phu Quoc to the south of Vietnam is known for its peppercorns, fish sauce factories, pearl farms and Coconut Prison.

- Water worldThere were two ways to get to the Mekong Delta: the slow bus, or the exciting but still quite slow boat. We chose the boat. Saigon’s waterside shanty towns were soon replaced with lush green palms. [img=http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7033/6828469507_5d Posted by ClareAndTom in Just a big holiday | Feb 7, 2012

- Good morning Vietnam (Day 13) So we jump in a minivan to the Cambodian - Vietnamese border. It takes border control an hour in the mid-day sun to stamp our passport twice (as well as having to pay a highly dubious ‘tourist charge’). Our bus Posted by Lynne Woolley in Whose idea was this.......? | Feb 6, 2012
- Hanoi, hooray!Back in Hanoi, our favourite holiday destination - hurrah! Arrived late afternoon, noticed lots more highrise buildings on the way in. Same hotel as last time, tiny backpacker-style place called Rising Dragon Hotel, 300m from Hoan Kiem Lake. Posted by NarLin in The Nerds at Number Ten... VN Again | Feb 6, 2012

- Beer Report: DaiViet Dark LagerFor Nerdia's workmates, here's a laydrinker's very brief review of a local beer: DaiViet 'Super Deluxe Quality Dark Lager Beer'.
