Other Thoughts
- Tripadvisor mostly sucks for restaurants. We found that restaurants with less than about 300 ratings and 4.5+ stars were the best.
- Even better was just finding hole-in-the-wall places or eating street food. A general rule of thumb we followed was: if there are lots of locals eating there, it's probably delicious.
- Tripadvisor was decent for finding hotels, as is Booking. Generally speaking, we "splurged" for $30/night hotels and found those to be much, much nicer than the $10-15/night ones.
- I usually really like Fodor's guidebooks, but the Vietnam one feels very out of date. It was still useful for history and orientation.
