well i only had my panasonic TZ7 on that ride...
and there is a small window you can hold camera out
i had my head out the window to listen to all the sounds from the forrest
was amazing

I just returned from 2.5 weeks in Vietnam. Flew Air Asia back. Not too bad (better than jet star) although annoying that seats didn't go back from KL to Perth.

Forget the Malaysia exchange rate of 3 to $1AU....we got between 14,000-15,000 viet dong for each $1AU. Alcohol is expensive in Malaysia but cheap in Vietnam. 4000 dong for bia hoi (daily beer) or 10,000+ for bottles (10,000 for Saigon lager good beer, 15-20,000 for Tiger amoung many others), 30,000 for 375 bottle of Hanoi Vodka or Rhum.

Lots of good beach areas to visit. HCMC (Saigon) was good, bit of a party town, Hanoi was boring. Nha TRang nice but very commercial beach town, would prefer Hoi An and Cua Dua beach as less people.

Great place though, better than expected.

Cheers mate, pretty sure we are gonna do Viet as well now, with a couple of days KL on way home.....
Is it pretty easy getting round in VN? Pretty keen for a couple of weeks just relacking, drinking, and a bit of sight seeing/shopping for wifey...

Yeah pretty easy to get around. Trains cheap, well organised (but not 5 star!!), vietnam airlines planes really good within vietnam, taxis cheap, otherwise within towns/cities grab a motorbike or cyclo.

Just watch as taxi/motorbike/cyclo will all try to scam you. Ask/set the price first.

I would now rather Vietnam over Malaysia to relax as the beaches are nicer (nha trang to danang - incl china beach) and alcohol is heaps cheaper. Shopping just as good if not better. Similar flight time from KL to HoChiMinh as Kota Kinabalu.

We'll probably go back in the mid-term future.

[QUOTE=NVRENUF;374192]Yep i just got back from KL, with Air asia deals, Was great im going to go back soon, take some more photos. did some cool stuff over there
