Pleiku to Buon Ma Thount

My first morning in Vietnam I walked the streets looking for food. I found a street stall selling sandwiches and coffee. Both were good and very cheap. Vietnamese coffee is even stronger, thicker and more chocolatey tasting than the coffe in Laos. The only problem is that they serve it in tiny glasses. I need about 5 of these to equal one decent cup of coffee in a mug. I checked out of my hotel and went to get transport to Buon Ma Thount, 4 hours south.
Now the hassles of Vietnam begin. I had to bargain to get a fair price to the bus and then bargain really hard for the bus. I was brought to a van parked on the side of the road, not the bus station like I asked for so I had to really bargain hard to get the real price. The trip was ok though the driver speed and drove like a maniac.

Boun Ma Thount is another untouristy highlands city. It's even larger than Pleiku with about 230 000 people. I got another nice hotel room at Thanh Binh. In Vietnam the same rooms in a hotel often get cheaper the higher up you go. I walked to the highest floor, only the third, but I saved a dollar just by doing that. I prefer to be up higher anyway and that it's cheaper is just a bonus. I ate a tasty and cheap dinner at a noodle stall. Internet at the post office was free. People again were really friendly here and I only saw about 3 other travellers.
