Tinh Cao Bang Travel and Tourism Guide

Its hard to put into words my feelings about Vietnam. I leave with mixed emotions about a country with a rich heritage and tremendous potential. I had some truly amazing experiences, but my lasting impressions will be of a people that put money above all else... (ie China) In order to get a real feel for Vietnam, you MUST get off the Lonely Planet path. Its a watered-down experience to be honest. You're treated like a walking wallet. Get away from that scene and you'll see Vietnam...

I flew all the way over the North Pole, stopped off in Korea, and finally landed in Hanoi, Vietnam. What a trip it was...my brother and his wife, who is from Vietnam, were married here in the states 3 years ago. Her family wasn't able to make it over, so we traveled there to meet her family and have a wedding with them.

New Year's Trip to Vietnam.. mainly Ho Chi Mihn and the MeKong area.
