To get to Cambodia from Vietnam, make your way to Ho Chi Minh City, Saigon.
Reasons to get to Cambodia from Vietnam:
a) Ho Chi Minh City, Saigon, is only less than 2 hours away to Cambodia at the Vietnam Moc Bai border. And from the Moc Bai border, Phnom Penh is only another 3 hours away by bus. With Cambodia being so close to Vietnam, why not take the chance to ‘conquer’ another country while you are touring Vietnam?
b) It cost only US$10 for an air conditioned tourist bus to get from Vietnam to Cambodia.
c) At the very least, cross over to Cambodia to check out Tuol Sleng Museum, better known as the S21 Prison and the almighty Angkok Wat (see more photos here). I promise you that you won’t regret visiting these 2 places…

Vietnam720: Jon from Connections Vietnam gives us a break down on how to apply for a Vietnam work permit. As you’ll learn later from Jon, for a long time, staying in Vietnam was never an issue. One just needs to pay to get a tourist visa for up to 6 months at a time. But thanks to those foreigners conducting vices here (drugs, prostitution, counterfeiting…), the Vietnamese government recently got serious cracking downing on issuing visa on the go. Instead, one will need a proper work permit in order to work in Vietnam. And for those looking to live for long in Vietnam, there’s the temporary and permanent residence card which I’ll cover later on…

Thought for quite some time about what I should write for the 1st post of 2010 and then came out with this idea of sharing about Vietnam720 and the ‘boy’ behind it…
