This has to be the bizarrest bus I've taken to date. It certainly is designed for sleeping. 36 seats reclined at a 45 degree angle, arranged in 3 rows and 2 levels. If you were claustrophobic, there's definitely potential for cabin fever, as you're forced to lie flat, witg your feet enclosed in the space in front of you, which is also where i'be wedged my small bag as there's no other storage. It's how I imagine the Japanese pod hotels might be, though with better views and more backpackers.
Anyway, I'm intrigued to see how I sleep on this for my $13, 12 hour journey from Hoi An to Nha Trang. I've already booked my onward sleeper train to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), so this may be my first and last Vietnamese sleeper bus. Good to mix it up a little!
And we're off, 15 mins early. The driver has switched on the blue and red strip disco lights and the attendant has handed out the blankets. I'm just waiting for the karaoke and badly dubbed / subtitled films now. Woop!
