S, Wi-Fi has been very easy to find in Sapa, Hue, and Hoi An, and from what I hear that will be true in Nha Trang, Da Lat, and Saigon as well. My $10/night hotel here in Hoi An has a good signal in my room. There's one English-language daily newspaper in Vietnam, and I haven't seen USA Today or Herald Tribune, though I imagine that at expensive hotels it might be available. With internet so easy to find, plus traveling with my iPhone and laptop, I really don't need a printed newspaper. Hey, Pete. S,

I'm planning on doing at least one special post all about the food here, and I'll try to get to it later this week from Hoi An. I'm a bit surprised that the food here isn't all that strange unless you seek out some novelty item. But the food is definitely wonderful. So far Vietnam feels almost like France in that it's nearly impossible to find food that isn't great, except for a couple "pizzas" I've had, I guess. Craig, I’m on it.

Hanoi itself was even colder the whole week before, which was kind of nice. Bill, yes, it was a cool day in general, probably about 60F or maybe a bit warmer, and a similar temp in the cave.
