1 THING YOU HAVE TO DO BEFORE YOU DIE
Volcano Boarding in Nicaragua
You have done skateboarding, you have done snowboarding, and you have even done wakeboarding, but now there is a whole new boardsport for thrillseekers and adventure sport fanatics alike. Ni- caragua in Central America is the home of volcano boarding, where you hurtle down the side of an active volcano at speeds of up to 80km/h. Now that’s what we call an adrenalin rush!

CULTURE: War Remnants Museum - 30p Having played such an enormous part in Vietnam’s recent history, the Vietnam War is not to be ignored when visiting Ho Chi Minh. The exhibit is truly informative and deeply interesting. Not for the faint-hearted. Find me: 28 Vo Van Tan St , District 3
LUNCH: Street Food - 25p One of the wonderful things about Vietnam is that no matter where you are, no matter what time of day or night it is, there is always a street food vendor nearby serving up delicious pho, a wonderfully fragrant noodle soup and the food of the nation at an average price of 25p per portion. Find me: Almost anywhere!
DINNER: Kims Cafe - £1.50 Situated in the city’s District 1 (known as ‘Saigon’ to the locals), Kim’s Cafe is a gem sandwiched between two late night bars. Try the chilli and
lemongrass beef or the water spinach sauteed in garlic - both are to die for.
Find me: De Tham St., District 1 CLUBBING: Allez Boo - £3
If the pumping music doesn’t grab your attention, the crowds of mingling backpackers spilling onto the street will. With 2 for 1 cocktails and DJs spinning everything from Oasis to Rihanna, Allez Boo is
a happening, backpackers haven.
