Been a long time between videos here at Rusty Compass. Very happy to be back on the air with an unusual post. For many of us, 2020 is shaping up as the most eventful year of our lives.

Vung Tau is a perfect escape from Saigon - has been for more than a century. With mellow tree lined streets, relaxed locals and a low-rise heritage streetscape, it reminds me of Saigon in the 90s - in a good way. And then there's the fresh sea breeze and the delicious local eateries. Check out our independent guide to Vung Tau here - https://www.rustycompass.com/vietnam-travel-guide-233/vung-tau-45#.W-T6snozbrc | Rusty Compass

Hoping you guys are doing OK wherever you are too. As the global effort to contain the spread of the coronavirus gathers pace, I'll be posting videos from the past year of travel and beyond, and who knows what else. Be well.

As far as we can work out, this is one of the oldest eateries still flourishing in Hoi An's old town. Most of the original businesses and residences have been replaced by restaurants and shops targeting the booming tourist trade. Pop by for a tasty bowl of pho bo (beef pho) and a little experience of Hoi An heritage. For more, check out our independent and handpicked Hoi An eating recommendations here. https://www.rustycompass.com/vietnam-travel-guide-233/hoi-an-28/eating-16 | Rusty Compass
