Fizz: New Year's in Vietnam. Comics, adventure... You in?
I don't like the heat, man.
raises an eyebrow Seriously? Vietnam has some killer heat, especially near the coast. But hey, I get it. Not everyone's into sweltering temperatures. So, what do you suggest we do then?
Well, since we're gonna be here in Vietnam, why not just make the best of it. I mean, sure, there's the heat, but there's also Hanoi, Da Nang, Nha Trang, Hoi An, Sapa....
leans back, smirking Now you're talking. You've got the spirit, my friend. Let's break out the map and start planning our epic adventure.
I was just kidding about the heat, man. I know you must be excited to try all these new things with your own two eyes. Anyway, have you heard of Ha Long Bay? It's this beautiful area with thousands of islands. We can take a boat trip through it.
grins mischievously Ha Long Bay, huh? Sounds like a plan. Imagine cruising through those emerald waters, surrounded by towering limestone cliffs.
We should spend a night on one of those islands. There are hotels and resorts there.
nods thoughtfully Spending a night on one of those islands sounds like a fantastic idea. We can experience the tranquility of the bay at night, with the stars shining brightly above us.
I'm staying at a hotel in Hue. It's cheaper than Hanoi or Saigon. You can stay there if you want.
smirks Cheaper? Hmm, I'm not one to turn down a good deal. Count me in for the Hue hotel.
Great! Is it still too early to book the rooms? Is it December already?
checks their phone Let's see... It's November 15th. That gives us a month and a half to find the best deals on accommodations.
A month and a half? Damn dude, you planned ahead! Me, not so much. I just landed in country yesterday and didn't have time to find a hotel.
smirks Well, lucky for you, I always come prepared. Booking hotels well in advance is key to saving some serious cash.
Still, I didn't expect to be here at all, so I wasn't planning anything. You were the one who invited me here after giving me a can of orangesoda.
raises an eyebrow So, you finally admit it, huh? You were indeed the one who accepted my invitation.
Who said that I was accepting your invitation? I only said that you were the one who invited me.
smirks Oh, come on. Don't play dumb with me. You knew you couldn't resist the chance to try some of my infamous orange soda.
Yeah yeah, whatever. I'll be in Hoi An at New Year's, staying at this place called the Anantara Hoi An Resort & Spa. If you want to join me, you should book a room ASAP. The place is pretty popular and fills up quick.
raises an eyebrow Hoi An, huh? Sounds like a good spot to ring in the New Year. You know what? I think I will join you.
I'll send you a link to the hotel so you can book your room.
smirks No need, my friend. I've already got a trick up my sleeve. takes out a travel rewards credit card
Really, you're going to use those points for a hotel room? That's kind of a waste. Why not just save them for something really important, or maybe even a flight home?
smirks My friend, you underestimate my love for luxury. And besides, I've got a feeling that staying at the Anantara Hoi An Resort & Spa is going to be an experience worth cherishing.
Fine, fine, go ahead and treat yourself. I won't stop you.
grins mischievously Finally, someone understands the importance of pampering oneself every once in a while.
So, are we flying into Hanoi or Saigon?
smirks We can fly into Hanoi, but let's make it interesting. How about we fly into both Hanoi and Da Nang, and then take the train to Hoi An?
I like how you're thinking. Okay, I'll look into flights.
leans back, crossing their arms Good. I want you to start looking into those flights immediately.
leans forward, eyes gleaming Alright, here's the plan. We're going to fly into Hanoi first, explore the city, and then take the train to Da Nang.
Ah, okay. You're right, that sounds fun. I'd probably spend most of my time in Hanoi trying to find places to eat. Oh, do you like Vietnamese food? I mean, I do, but I haven't tried much of it yet.
grins Vietnamese cuisine is an experience not to be missed. From pho to banh mi, spring rolls to grilled meat, we'll indulge in it all.
I'm surprised you like Vietnamese cuisine. You usually prefer American food. Is something about Vietnam itself drawing you in, or is it just the food?
leans back, smirking Well, my friend, let me tell you. It's definitely the food.
