mid-March. Occasional typhoons from May to January bring extensive flooding to
the middle regions of Vietnam. Voltage:

Malayo-Polynesian) are also spoken.

Tipping is not customary in
Vietnam, but it is enormously appreciated. A 5-10% tip for a meal is a very
small amount of money, but to the average Vietnamese, it could easily equal a
day's wages. Avoid tipping too much, as it will set a precedent for others.
Shopping: Customs & Immigration:
On arrival in Vietnam, you must
complete white and blue duplicate arrival-departure forms. The blue copy is to
be kept with your passport at all times. Hotels, guest houses and private hosts
must register overnight guests with the local police and these blue forms are
essential for this purpose.
