With the last five months in Vietnam, I’ve been keeping an eye out for posts that talk about the differences from North to South. Given the length of the country, there are plenty to account for. Enter Nhat Le, who has posted whimsical posters that show these differences in illustrated form.
A few:
And of course, some of the same in both: TRAFFIC!

This is the view from my guesthouse in El Nido, the Philippines. Located on Palawan, a long slice of land reaching northward to Mindoro and southward toward Malaysian Borneo, and bordered by the South China Sea to the west and the Sulu Sea to the east. It’s also stunningly beautiful. El Nido was always a stop on the route for those heading to Palawan, but given that it was fairly isolated (when I visited in 2009 the only way there was via cargo ferry, private chartered flight – too expensive!, or bus on muddy roads), it was not as touristed as elsewhere in the country. That’s changing, so we thought we would provide some info for those looking to visit.
Enter Paul, a Filipino running Walk Fly Pinoy who has provided a handy guide for getting there and away, where to stay and what to do, and more. His full guide to El Nido is here.
Safe travels!

From plane tickets and hotel rooms to guided tours and local restaurants, traveling is expensive. Most people base their travel budget on airfare, hotel rate and activities, but what about that magazine from the airport? Or Wifi at the hotel so we can find the confirmation number of the guided tour? These are what we call “hidden costs” and believe us, they add up.
Although it might not seem like it, you could be spending an extra $550 on your trip. From that $4 bottle of water to $150 total for hotel parking, we found the average hidden costs associated for a five-day vacation for one person. Here we’ve laid out where your money could be going without you realizing it, as well as some of our tips for saving money on vacation.
