What time does the train station in Saigon close?
I’ll be arriving in Saigon airport at 5pm and trying to buy a train ticket to go to Nha Trang. Departure is 23:00 on the 12th of May. Do you think I can still buy a train ticket at the train station or an agency in Saigon? Do you think I will have enough time to come back for the flight from Saigon to BKK on the 16th of May at 17:00? Is it a beautiful place to stay? Are there anywhere else I should visit? I am a beach person. I appreciate your help. Thanks!
Check out http://www.vr.com.vn/english/index.html this is the Vietnam Rail Website that has time tables/fares etc.
The trains do fill up quickly, so it can be hard to get a ticket a the last minute. You maybe able to score a hard seat or something!
Otherwise, consider flying, it’s actually not that expensive (depending on ticket code you get!) and you’ll be at the airport!

Enjoy Nha Trang!

A Diplomatic Doctor $21.95 As the Air France 737 landed on the worn runway of the Tan Sun Nhut airport in a western suburb of Saigon and approached the rundown terminal building, I knew we were not going to be welcomed with open arms. As we passed through the arrival room, the customs officers were not disagreeable. I did wonder how they could sit in the heat and humidity in the large dingy room with one antique ceiling fan whining above them, pushing down the hot air. There were no smiles but no delays either.”A plucky, gutsy memoir of a doctor”s life well-lived, helping refugees set adrift by war and disaster. Holbrook”s humility, gentle humour and unflagging kindness, along with his insatiable delight in people and their worlds, carries him through the toughest times and illuminates every page of this amazing story. -Sarah Sheard, author of The Hypnotist ”Whether he is describing the misery of an Indonesian refugee camp or a peculiar egg sandwich in Trinidad, David Holbrook paints each scene with a discerning and compassionate eye. The good doctor makes us laugh on one page and brings us to tears on the next. -Helen McLean, author of Significant Things |

A Dragon Child: Reflections of a Daughter of Annam in America $15.95 A Dragon Child: Reflections of a Daughter of Annam in America is the story of a Vietnamese Catholic raised within the structure of the French colonial system. Her upbringing was somewhat privileged as the daughter of a provincial administrator in the central highlands of Vietnam. As a child, and later as a young woman, she embraced French culture and aspired to French ideals. She was educated at a French boarding school for the children of the elite. Subsequently she received a degree in French teaching from the University of Saigon and became a lycee teacher and administrator.In 1975, she left on one of the last military planes accompanied by her four children and entered a new life as a refugee in the U.S. She ultimately resettled in Western Massachusetts. She then went back to school and obtained her Ph.D. in Francophone literature. After seeing to her children”s education she began her academic career and started to teach French in the Five College academic community. She has fulfilled the American dream as have her children. In the process she has rediscovered her cultural roots and has helped others to negotiate the same path. |
