Most people still think of Vietnam as a battle field, in fact, HOWEVER, that old history has all gone for long, giving place to a brand new era when peace and safety reside! These days, instead, you may often hear CNN, BBC, or many other prestigious channels talking about something like "Vietnam - a safe destination of the new millennium", or "Vietnam - the Hidden Charm" , etc. Yes, it's now opening to the world as a friendly and exotic place on earth!
You're curious? Oh, so why don't you think
of coming? Here are some of the reasons why you should visit "her" -
the charming-like-a-girl Vietnam:
1. "She" is a new place. It's not touristy like in Thailand
and many places you go, people got stunned by your appearance.
2. "She" is safe and
friendly. The majority of people in Vietnam are farmers, pure farmers.
Many of them have never learnt of much apart from the village they were
born in. Naturally, they're almost all friendly and safe to be around.
Moreover, the communist government does a good job in ensuring
securities all over the country. Nothing of a crime has happened to
tourists for the last decades.
3. "She" has lots to see: A thin country
stretching for thousands of Km from North to South. It has beautiful
mountains with colorful and rich culture hill tribes. It has beaches and
many of those are considered best in the world but still, they're not
touristy. Sound cool enough? Not end yet, she's home to 7 UNESCO World
Heritages. Almost anywhere you go, you're stumble on a World Heritage.
4. "She" is marvelous, but
money-saving. If you want to, then 1 US dollar could buy you a basic
lunch or dinner. Wandering around and you want to find somewhere to sit
and drink? Normally, you don't have to pay more than one dollar for it.
Cheap accommodations and services are everywhere around the Old Quarter
in Hanoi and Pham Ngu Lao street or Bui Vien street - Sai Gon (if you're
traveling on a tight budget). If yours is not a tight budget? Never
mind! You can also find the world top hotels and resorts in here.
5. Is travel here
convenient? Sure, many companies operate the open bus (good quality in
general) and they run almost to every capital cities in the country.
Moving around is very easy. If ya want to take it easier? Well, lots of
tour companies everywhere you go. You don't have to work on where to go
when you wake up 2morrow.
6. After all, traveling is to experience the difference.
And Vietnam is different from any place that you have been!
So, Vietnam? Why not!
