Vietnam

Tet marks the end of the lunar calendar and the beginning of spring. It is the time to forgive, cancel debts and put last years problems behind you.

Vietnam has 2,000 miles of coastline, much of it underdeveloped in the way of tourism, though heavily populated with traditional fishing villages and towns.

Formerly known as Saigon, Ho Chi Minh City was renamed for the revolutionary leader who oversaw a communist victory during the Vietnam War.

Vietnam’s capital city, Hanoi, has a long extensive history, having recently celebrated its 1000th birthday in 2010. While it has since been eclipsed by Ho Chi Minh City in terms of size, Hanoi remains Vietnam’s most interesting and beautiful major city.
