Positives: Food is good, especially the patisserie cakes (strong French influence, not a surprise) which are wonderful and inexpensive. Cocktails are a regular menu item and although you can’t expect to get a good Mojito, basic cocktails are good and inexpensive. Peanut Oreos are the best inventio...

Chances are if you take a bus to Dalat, they'll be waiting for you when you get off. These guys, recommended in Lonely Planet amongst other places, are English-speaking tour guides with their own motorbikes, who will take you on a day tour of Dalat, or if you're feeling more adventurous, up the Ho C...

Shopping centers gather many brand name products such as Levi, Lacoste, Nike,... with fixed prices. Strong point: you don't need to haggle/ Weak point: It's way too expensive and there are things you can get cheaper in your own country!

Saigon can be done very cheaply for the backpacker, and obviously a lot more expensive for those of us with deep pockets.
Most likely, you will be headed for a hotel/guesthouse in the Pham Ngu Lao area. Prices generally range from 10-20 USD/night. I wouldn't reccomend paying anything over $15, ...

I was in Saigon for 4 days, 2 days in Nha Trang, 3 days in Hanoi. In Nha Trang, go to Doc Let beach. It's still undeveloped for now and not too crowded.

Travelers to Vietnam still need a valid visa before entering the country. You can easily get the visa with your passport in the embassy in your country or in the third country with the price ranging from 20-45$.
Visitors from Asean countries, Japan...may visit Vietnam without a Visa.
