- ✓Learn to cross the street in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City — walk slowly and steadily, traffic flows around you
- ✓Eat breakfast where the locals eat: look for tiny plastic stools, steaming bowls, and a crowd at 7am
- ✓The train from Hanoi to Hue (overnight sleeper) is one of Asia's great rail journeys — book a soft-sleeper
- ✓Hoi An tailors are extraordinary — bring reference photos, get measured on day 1, final fitting on day 3
- ✓Avoid taxi scams at airports — use Grab (Southeast Asia's Uber) and the price is locked before you get in
