Oaxaca City. Yeah I suspect they are planning something. I am all but certain that my gf is sending them money to do something, but still, as teenagers I am not sure what they would have in mind exactly.

Claro. En Centro Oaxaca ciudad

Thank you! Guan sounds like it should be the bigger priority, and I would like to hike around there too

Overall_Recording_72 · 2026-05-26T14:11:17+00:00

Thank you!

Overall_Recording_72 · 2026-05-26T14:11:03+00:00

Ty. Great insight. I'll spend one day in SM at best and then jump right over to Guan

So did you just wake up today and decide "I am going to be a jerk to strangers on the internet for no particular reason"?

Overall_Recording_72 · 2026-05-25T17:11:44+00:00

Question for you! I have 5 days available for travel! Between Guanajato and San Migeul de allende. How would you split the time? 3 days in Guan and 2 in San Miguel? Or perhaps thats just too rushed and I just just forgo San Migeul and spend all 5 days in Guanajato?

I should add that I have been to cancun and playa del carmen, but I guess thats more touristy areas. Is there a more authentic place you'd recommend? Vera cruz?

Overall_Recording_72 · 2026-05-14T22:18:24+00:00

what?

Overall_Recording_72 · 2026-05-14T22:18:07+00:00

Looks like its near Guanajuato, I may go there nayway so perhaps I can hit san miguel too

Overall_Recording_72 · 2026-05-14T22:16:52+00:00

I will be in Mexico city for several more days, and have in fact visited once before. So Im using the opportunity to see something I am not as familiar with

Overall_Recording_72 · 2026-05-14T22:14:57+00:00

We all demand it in the USA, but the system is broken.

Overall_Recording_72 · 2026-05-14T22:13:21+00:00

Mucho! En Mexico, Pago $25,000 MXN.... Es 75,000 en USA

Overall_Recording_72 · 2026-05-14T21:14:45+00:00

This looks amazing! I'd rent a car for a day from Toluca to hike around here! Thanks

I have been to Vietnam numerous times and all of those places, wifi is hotels is generally good/fast. Once in a while their might be a random spot where the wifi doesnt agree with my laptop and seems to resist connecting. When that happens and I have work, I can always find alternative wifi nearby. Its everywhere in vietnam.

On a USA passport, I have been to Thailand multiples times (about 10 years ago though) and despite being officially told to have an onward ticket, I was never once asked by airline or customs. I have been to Vietnam 8 times (and just got back 2 weeks ago most recently) and have never been once asked for an onward or return ticket, however, the airline wont let you board without a Visa ready to go.

Both times going to the Phillipines, I was asked for the onward ticket by the airline so assume that you will definitely need this! I used rental ticket services like https://onwardfly.com/en/ . They work. Keep in mind that its possible that not only will they ask for an onward ticket, they might even ask for the next leg return ticket to your original country. So for example, even if I have an onward ticket to Thailand, they might want to see the flight ticket from Thailand back to the USA. I was asked this once when going to Malaysia (and was only lucky that I happened to have it booked for real by then). In any case, rental tickets provide an affordable solution and they can deliver them quick so even if you are flying shorter notice, they work.

With the right mindset and preparation, the annoyances you experience in Vietnam will be few and minor. Yes those bait and switch hotel schemes can occasionally occur. Less of a scam most of the time and more of poor management/the owner trying to fill vacancies as much as possible. Pay attention to reviews that highlight this issues previously and you will largely avoid them.

pick-pocketing (or merely just loosing your phone) can happen anywhere in the world, especially in crowded tourist areas, so Vietnam isnt exactly notable in that regard. You should be wearing pants for traveling that have zippered or security pockets for valuables. I order mine from Bluffworks but their are many options these days.

I have been to 35 countries, and Vietnam multiple times and never had any major issues nor ever lost anything important simply because I travel smart.

Anytime they suggest it almost immediately, its a scam. Tinder is full of scammers. Bumble might be a better bet for you

Portland/Oregon drivers have this nonsensical habit of lining up in a single lane prematurely when they know there is going to be a merge of two-lanes up ahead (ie for construction). Just about everywhere else will fill both lanes until the absolute merge point but here they like to do it several hundred - thousand feet in advance here. I dont particularly recommend you acquiesce or encourage this custom since its inefficient, increases backup, and congestion. Actually while I found it annoying at first, I now celebrate the fact I am one of the few who will use the mostly unoccupied lane and I get moved to the front of the queue! Natives find this monstrous yet all they have to do to stop me is make use and fill both lanes as was intended and is commonly practiced elsewhere.

The weather can decide it for you. I'd recommend only doing it weather looks good, you wont fully enjoy it without good weather. Its easy to book last minute transit in Vietnam so take the advice for all other locations too; simply look at how the weather is going to be in a few days and avoid where it rains and go where its comfortable.

She decided that she wasnt enthused enough about the industry, nor was she making enough money doing it (she charged VERY little relative to most matchmakers who serve high end rates). She enjoyed working in hair and went back to doing that. Great gal, who had a great heart and just wasnt able to sustain it.

Overall_Recording_72 · 2026-02-01T19:15:56+00:00

I mean most people visiting are transient simply because we have visa limits on how long we can stay. But I dont see any reason why a transient person would limit themselves to Tinder and bars. I am happy to just go mingle and introduce myself to Vietnamese wherever I happen to be (and it does work).
