When I venture into a new country or city I sometimes have this preconceived idea of what it will be like. What I had for Vietnam was more of what <a title=\"Ho Chi Minh City: Cliff Notes Edition\" href=\"https:\/\/www.heynadine.com\/ho-chi-minh-city-cliff-notes-edition\/\">Ho Chi Minh City<\/a> and the <a title=\"Sweets and Snakes: Cruising the Mekong Delta\" href=\"https:\/\/www.heynadine.com\/sweets-and-snakes-cruising-the-mekong-delta\/\">Mekong Delta<\/a> were like.

There they played some Vietnamese songs but mainly cover songs from North American bands. At one point they had a karaoke session in which they invited people from various countries up and played a &#8220;theme song&#8221; most related to their country.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Jet Ski - Nha Trang, Vietnam-2\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/33736956@N08\/6876852842\/\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7137\/6876852842_65715c3964_b.jpg\" alt=\"Jet Ski - Nha Trang, Vietnam-2\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Later in the afternoon we got a chance to do some watersports, at a ridiculous cheap rate. For 450 VND, which equals about $20 USD, \u00a0we got a jet ski rental. Totally worth it!
