6 Places You Must Go In Vietnam
Jessica Klein

1. Hoi An

Hoi An was by far my favorite place in Vietnam. With its small town vibes and streets lit by the most colorful lanterns, this is definitely a place to spend a few days.

Must see/do:

Try the street food

Visit the beach

Take a cooking class

2. Ha Long Bay

Ha Long Bay is one of the most incredible places I’ve ever experienced. Its vast expansion of islands is something one must see to believe. The only downside of visiting is that because it is so mystifying - it is incredibly touristy.

Must see/do:

Walk through cool caves

Kayak around an island


Stay overnight on a cruise

3. Hanoi

One of the nicer cities in Vietnam, Hanoi has a little bit for everyone. From a nice lake, you can relax and people-watch by, to temples with an abundance of history behind them, to the delicious egg coffee and bun cha at every corner.

Must see/do:

Visit the Temple of Literature


Try egg coffee

Eat at Bun Cha Huong Lien (where Obama ate bun cha)

4. Mekong Delta

Mekong Delta is definitely an experience. With boat markets (people selling fruits on boats that you can ride up to) and coconut groves, this is an incredible opportunity to see how certain foods are prepared and to get a taste for different fruits around Vietnam.

Must see/do:

Drink from then eat a coconut

Ride in a small boat

5. My Son

Make sure to get a tour guide! Ours was beyond informative and described all the beliefs surrounding certain ruins in incredible detail. I noticed other people without a tour guide who seemed a bit confused, even trying to linger around us to hear him tell us the stories.

6. Ho Chi Minh City


Must see/do:

Try Pho


Eat at Anan (a roughly $20 meal 8-course meal that is beyond delicious)

On the Upper East Side, Blair Waldorf is an icon. She's what every girl aspires to be. She's beautiful, confident, and can handle any obstacle that life throws at her. Sure, she may just be a television character. But for me, she's a role model and theres a lot that can be learned from Queen B.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
