Vietnam 2003
First time in Asia !
In July 2003 I had to go to Vietnam for work purposes. I was working lots of hours, but I was fortunately able to take a closer look at this incredible country. What amazed me the most was the kindness of the vietnamese people. Always smiling and friendly. No where, even in the poorest parts of Saigon (Ho Chi Minh city) I felt insecure. When walking in Saigon you are contacted to every 5 meters. Mostly people selling things like coconuts, fruit, books, beverage, taxi rides, motorcycle rides, bicycle rides etc. But many also just want to talk to you to practice english or french for example.
