I found myself celebrating my 25th birthday in Nha Trang, a touristy beach town on the South China Sea 500kms outside of Saigon. 25?! Quarter of a century! I decided I had to go all out, so Kris and I headed over to Vinpearl Island aka Vietnamese Disneyland. For a mere 300,000 Dong (about $16), you take a 15 minute cable car ride from the mainland to the island where you can hit up a waterslide park, amusement park and an arcade which was all included in the entrance fee. Upon arrival, to our delight, the waterslide park was empty, the rides were empty and there was nobody in the arcade to fight me for the Time Crisis 3 machine (Time Crisis 4 was unfortunately out of order). I think I’ve spent more than $50 back home on Time Crisis 3 alone. To top it off, we saw a super cruel animal “circus” comprised of 4 dogs and 4 monkeys. Although it is nowhere near as spectacular as Disneyland, I still had a pretty rad day at Vinpearl.
