The Vietnamese are a resilient people In spite of their suffering,
They‘re also very friendly and warm, and full of national pride
In Vietnam the old and the new live comfortably side by side
Hanoi is elegantly French with beautiful tree-lined boulevards and classic architecture.
The old quarters beckon…the antiquated mazes of streets, filled with shops, outdoor restaurants and cafes, captivate.
Ho chi min city is vibrant and modern, bustling with street life.
Authentic markets, chic bars, and stylish young women wearing long gloves (are visual) delights
Crossing the streets in Ho chi min city is an adventure. the traffic literally, never stops. But don't panic. Cross slowly, steadily, and somehow the traffic gos around you.
