Rach Gia, Vietnam

Before taking the superdong (boat) to Phu Qouc we spent a few days in Rach Gia. We were probably the only westerners in town. A lot of people stared, said 'hello' or tried to engage in a conversation.

On our way to Saigon we stopped for a day in Rach Gia - a town that I don't think gets that many visits from western tourists. A lot of people were giggling, touching or commenting the color of our eyes/hair, or simply waving and yelling "hello" from across the street or from passing mopeds - all in a very friendly manner. A young girl approached us and asked if she could walk with us for a while so that she could practice her English.
