Dalat, about 4 hours north of Ho Chi Minh City, is a very beautiful city. I traveled there last November with a Vietnamese friend. It was the first time I was able to relax in Vietnam. Dalat reminds me of Seattle with all the green scenery. Due to the bad weather, I never made it out to the waterfalls.
