I went to Nha Trang feeling a little bit out of the ordinary as I am half-American and have a very broad American accent. However, I had nothing to fear. As I was flying over Nha Trang looking out of the window I saw some of the most beautiful sites, that I think I will ever see in my life.
Nha Trang is located on the coast of Vietnam and has a number of small islands surrounding it. These are alive with trees, and animals of all kinds.
Hotels: The Hotels in Nha Trang vary from what you are looking for. If you want something that is very cheap and some where just to sleep then you can get rooms for 2 dollars a night, sorry but most things are paid for in dollars so if I refure to them a lot I am sorry as it is what I paid in. You are also able to get hotels, which are a little more expensive around25 dollars a night and these are, nicer rooms, doubles with breakfast included. However you can if you wish go for more expensive hotels and spend anything from 200-300 dollars a night in some very nice hotels there.
Almost all of the hotels are on the beach or within short walking distance, and stalls and shops surround most.
Restaurants: In Nha Trang there are a number of different types of restaurants local and foreign. I would say a word to the wise that you will probably get some upset stomachs if you eat at local restaurants, this is not a definite but you are at risk, however I do recommend that you do eat at the local restaurants at some point in your stay, as you can sample the lovely Vietnam's food which is spicy and very good. I recommend the Noodle Soup of any kind as I have found that this is one of the best dishes.
Other Restaurants that you can eat in is at Rainbow Cafe this is a bunch of different restaurants where you can eat Italian, Vietnam's or Sea Food. The food here is very good although quite a lot more expensive then at some of the local restaurants.
Sites: There are many things you can do here in Nha Trang and I suggest that you try all of them, you can go diving, and if you go I suggest that you go with Rainbow Diver's this is due to Jeremy who is a Dive Master and is the best in Vietnam he is also British and a great guy, I did a Rescue Diver Course with him and hope to go back and do my Master's with him. The diving here is amazing as although the visibility was not that great, I saw an amazing world of species that I could only hope to see, such as Sea Slugs (all of amazing colours) and many other marine life, with plants of all different colours.
You can also go on boat trips and I recommend that you go on Mama Hun's Boat Trip, which you can find in the Rainbow Bar, as it is great and you will never eat so much or drink so in much in your life. You are taken all the different islands to swim, laugh, and dance.
You can also go on tours of neighbouring islands that I did not actually go on myself however have been told it is amazing.
Entertainment: There are only a few places, which you can really go for entertainment however these are definitely not lacking. The Rainbow Bar is again the place to go, as you are looked after great, and after a number of free drinks which I have no idea what was in them you will be dancing away. There are a number of people there who will get you in the mood even if you are not such as a lovely fellow called Jeff, who is the Rainbow Bar's official Party Organizer and I have to say he never gets drunk no matter, how much he drinks.
Transport: The only way to really go around Nha Trang is either by walking or cyclo. The cyclo is one of the fastest and best ways to go however I feel, as you get to see more and most of the cyclo drivers are very nice, with some knowing a little English and talking to you. However, some will try to ripe you off so only pay them what you feel is reasonable and about 5,000 dong is about what you usually pay.
Are you ever in Danger? I felt never in danger even walking the streets at very late hours. You do have to watch out for pick-pockets and pretty boys, however they do not try and harm you and only want your money, and most if you ask them will give you back your wallet (minus the money of course).
Sunset: I have to recommend that if anyone goes to Nha Trang that they watch the sunset as it is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen in my life. The colours are just so amazing, and indescribable that no pictures would ever do it justice you just have to see it for yourself.
So if anyone is thinking about going to Vietnam I suggest that they at least go to Nha Trang for a few days as it is a town full of culture and life. You will definitely not regret going.
