Hi Johnnysensible. I was in Vietnam a couple years back and traveled from the north to the south, but I hadn't heard of Pleiku. Whereabouts is it?

OK Chia - here goes - Pleiku is a tiny city in the Central Highlands - close to the border with Kampuchea - a high % of Jarai (Gia Rai) / Babnar (Ba Na) & other tribal people - I go there to buy coffee & silver jewelry for my export customers - there are several vegan eating places in Pleiku - inspired by the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nhat_Hanh Some infamous place names from the 60's are nearby - Pleime is just down the road from PLeiku - go east and you reach An Khe - then further east is Qui Nonh - these names are most often seen engraved on old Zippo lighters in the US! - visit - www.vnn.vn/province/gialai/intro.html & schedule a visit.
