Asia coolest coffee shop Nha Trang Vietnam
What a cool coffee shop here in Asia in Nha Trang Vietnam, I found this coffee shop accross the street pretty much from a great luxury beach resort in Nha Trang the Ana Madera. The resort was nice but one of the highlights of this trip back to Nha Trang by train from Saigon was this coffee shop which had just a ton of art works of every kind spread out in the garden setting a very relaxing place to stop and enjoy your holiday, which if you are like me you are here there and every where, and you really never slow down to smell the beans, so enjoy!

Asia travel tips new one bring more cash!
Well I am going to give you a couple of tips
1 bring more money if you are going to come to Asia as everything is getting more expensive at a crazy rate! Milk went from $1 to $1.50, Coffee from $3 to $3.80,
eggs 10 for .6 to ten small for over a buck. Gas is now over $1.25 a liter in Cambodia and Thailand is very similar.
A good friend of mine went online and booked a hotel room online, the hotel never confirmed. The hotel refused the contract rate and wanted more than 25% more than was listed on a major hotel booking search engine! I am not going to ding the engine as it was not there fault.
If you live in the west this is fairly common stuff but has to be very scary for the Khmers and Thais that are already living on the edge. More scary is the price of rice and fish, both of these staples have gone through the roof nearly double what they were a year ago and still climbing like a rocket! I half expect that there will be trouble on that front in the near future here in South East Asia.
the 2nd Asia travel tip is this vodka, take the vodka and stick it into a small bottle and use it as a hand sanitizer. At 60% alcohol by content it is more powerful that the commercial sanitizers and cheaper by weight as well. And hey if the day gets to be a pain you can use it as a stress reliever. Also because it is alcohol you can rub it on your arms and neck and it will cool you down as it evaporates Pretty cool travel tip! Pardon the pun!

Land sale from Email Siem Reap Cambodia
I don't know why but this seems like it is not quite ligitimate. I don't remember ever giving this person my email and they must know that foriegners are not suppose to own land in Cambodia, unless they have a corporation registered with the Cambodia goverment.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I have 10 Hectares of land in Siem Reap along the road
to Banteay Srey Temple (Kulen Mountain) 16km from town
and I want to sell it urgently. The price is very
reasonable just $1.2/m2. I promise it is a very good
land.
Please see the map of my land in the attached file.
With our best regards,
Ousphea

PS. This area will be used to build golf club in the
near future.
