• Vietnam Diaries 6…The Last Leg- Hanoi and Halong Bay…

  

  We took a flight from Hue to Hanoi after bidding farewell to our guide Lucky. At Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, David was waiting for us. David was our guide in the Capital city and rightly so- he was flexible, informative and extremely fluent in English. Hanoi, like all places in Vietnam had wide, good roads…

• Vietnam Diaries 2- The fall of Saigon and The rise of Ho Chi Minh City

  

  24.12.16 We landed at Saigon on the 23rd December at around 3.00 p.m.after an 8 hour flight through Qatar. Saigon airport was small and met our expectations. It was neither grand or big. Simple, small-town airport. First feel : Anybody who has visited Bangalore, in India, or Srilanka would feel Vietnam’s no different except for the…

• Vietnam Diaries 1: Good Morning , Vietnam!

  

  I landed this morning after a 10 day trip to Vietnam. As I got into the cab on my way home, it seemed like one long, beautiful dream, far, far away; so different from anything that I had fathomed, that it almost seemed unreal. ‘Exotic’ best describes this South East nation-the people, the food, the landscape, the victory…
