The Power of Trip Advisor

From the time we left Seattle and our shuttle driver at Best Western asked us to give him a favorable report on Trip Advisor to the chef at the cooking school in Hoi An, we have been Impressed by the significance of the reviews of TA. I have heavily relied on this resource in preparing for this trip, but it was a surprise to us to see how important it is to the businesses, even in the small towns. It was a delightful surprise to meet a couple from the UK who found Nina's, a small café down a questionable alley in Hue, on TA just as we did. Without this resource, we probably would have eaten at the hotel and spent $14 on water, which is what we spent for our whole meal at Nina's. Plus, we made some new friends who, as it turned out, were staying next door to us at our hotel.
