When in Viet-Nam, would you prefer to sip a 2,000 Dong coffee cup on a sidewalk to …?

drinking a 20,000 Dong espresso in an air-conditioned Western-style cafe? I would much appreciate any answer, although I’m very interested to hear from Westerners who have recently traveled to Viet-Nam’s big cities such as Saigon, Hanoi, etc.

ABSOLUTLY!
although its rare to find street coffe that cheap in tourist areas it is still the cheaper [ 4-6k] and usually much better than fancy cafe and resturant coffee.. those tourist that wont venture out into the street life of viet nam are truely missing the whole point… i love waking up early taking a walk by the beach [ in nha trang] or around the lake [ hoan kiem in ha noi], then meeting up with a viet friend or 2 for some good conversation and a cup of “cafe sua nong”[ my viet friends usualy preffer "den da"]. when i cant meet w/ friends i enjoi relaxing w/ xich lo drivers and other street folk. often in the rainy season i’ll sit sipping coffee and writting in a journal my thoughts as i watch the motor bikes ride by with colorfull ponchos draped over the headlights reflecting rainbows on the wet sai gon streets …. yeah viet nam with out the “ritual” of street coffee is just not viet nam…. the same can be said of beir hoi , no?… like my friend “dan ” above me says ,
“it’s an expierience”…….not to be missed…..
oh “dan “, we gotta go back !
