Yep, been to Nam, great time and I just stayed for two weeks on my own. I think I did the wrong part of the country as I stayed mainly in the south. Ho Chi Minh isn't that great to be honest, but I think that's because I flew in there and didn't have time to decompress properly from London! I went to Mui Ne which was nice and quiet then Na Trang which is the place to party and meet chicks......and teh diving / snorkelling is good there too – but nowhere near as good as Koh Tao.
It gets good when you get up to the central highlands and I got as far as dalat, which is, I guess, the gateway to that part of the country. As someone said, hiring someone with a bike is the best way to see the country and if there are a couple of you you can get them to do convoys and make a proper road trip out of it. It seems to get much wilder when you get around these parts and it's a wicked, almost alpine temperature.
It sounds like the north is the place to go to see the more dignified part of the country, and the south is the place to go to party and pull.
