The sights are spectacular, thanks to a rich civilisation that has left its temples and traditions
throughout the land, and a lucky hand with nature, which has dealt Vietnam breathtaking mountains,
a killer coastline and sublime scenery. A place of pleed beauty, Vietnam is blanketed from top to toe
with a patchwork of emerald-green rice paddies, timelessly tended by farmers in conical hats.
There is no volume control on the soundtrack to Vietnam - it is the story of the people on the move,
the bustle of the cities as they rush towards the future. The buzz of bikes, the cries of sellers, the
hum of voices and the clink of beer glasses collide head-on with the tinkle of sadness or success.
Vietnam's cuisine is a cracker, a wonderful world of pungent herbs and secret spices, a treasure
chest of 500 different dishes. Overstimulating perhaps is the smell of nuoc mam, a fish sauce that is
as compulsary for the Vietnamese as ketchup. And don't forget the rice wine, which is as varied as
Scotch.
Vietnam to a generation, the long history of war continues to weigh heavily on the consciousness of
all who can remember, but here the Vietnamese side of the history is old at poignant sites
throughout the country. Fiercely protective of their independence and scereignty, the Vietnamese
are graciously welcoming to those who come in peace. Vietnamese people are friendly and helpful to
tourists. For those with business, they always try their best to give you the best service you may
need ever.
"In short, Vietnam is defiantly different... hardly surprising, as it has had to defy so many to get to
where it is today."
