2. Print all your travel documents such as travel itineraries, travel insurance, air tickets ... and keep them in a safe file.

3. Check the climate and weather of the places you will visit to prepare your clothes. For examples, there are 4 seasons in the north of Vietnam, but only 2 seasons in the south (dry and rainy seasons).

4. Prepare the medicines but no need to bring all because pharmacies are everywhere in Vietnam.

5. Cross the streets - Traffic in Vietnam is quite bad with million motorbikes. Remember to ask your tour guide to show you how to cross the streets when you arrive. (As soon as you know, traffic in Vietnam will not be dangerous as you think, but a fun experience)
