The coconut stand with wifi in the middle of nowhere
A man and his dog walking around the world, walk around the world virtually, walking Tokyo, and more travel reads not related to walking.
Greetings from Saigon! I’ve just returned from a week of exploring some of the South Central Coast of Vietnam. I spent most of my time in Phan Thiet, which I used as a base to explore the coast of Binh Thuan Province. I was there to update this construction guide, and I will post a trip report for Nomadic Notes some time soon.
One thing I love about Vietnam is that you find coconut vendors everywhere, and this one in the middle of nowhere even had wifi.

Assorted travel reads

• If you have been following me for a while you have probably worked out that I love Tokyo, walking, and maps, so my friends at Tokyo Cheapo had me at “Tokyo walking map” when they updated their Tokyo Subway Map by Walking Times.

This and other articles was featured on the Europe Rail News monthly newsletter. I enjoy putting this newsletter together as it keeps me updated on railway developments in Europe. I’m currently researching articles about new railways and train times in Europe. This will form some other articles and maps that I will get round to publishing.
