| 9th November 2009 liliram | Such talent! - From: How do young Vietnamese travel? This Windy is such a talented young man! You have to convince him to start blogging in our site! Maybe you can translate for him? While I do enjoy reading your blogs too, it would be nice to hear from him and know what motivates him while traveling. |
| 9th November 2009 Walkman | For Windysmile - From: How do young Vietnamese travel? As you know, he is famous of severe actions when he was Moderator of that forum and I know him when he was in office. He has an emotional soul, a big gun with good barels (Modern camera with lens), a strong hourse (good motobike such as yamaha serow date of 2005) and something like that. Therefore, don't worry about how beautiful his pictures, how far he can drive and how many destination he has visited :D. Thank for extremly deep emotion. |
| 9th November 2009 theRedRiver | Hanoi during Tet holiday - From: New Year's activities during Tết 2009 Hi there! The temperature in February in Hanoi is about 10-20oC, sometimes it's warmer. The coldest temperature was 7oC but it was two years ago. During Tet holiday, hotels and restaurants in Hanoi's Old Quarter still open. Museums and travel agents will be off work for 3-4 days. The great side is that you will feel the atmosphere before Tet and experience new year's eve with fireworks. |
| 9th November 2009 Mimi | - From: New Year's activities during Tết 2009 Hi! What's the weather like during February in Hanoi? Will it be cold during this period? Will it be ok to go to Hanoi during the Tet - are the food shops, markets and place of interest open during this time? Thanks :) |
| 9th November 2009 Rob_n_Lorenza | - From: How do young Vietnamese travel? great photos ... |
| 9th November 2009 John Strathearn | Windysmile's photos - From: How do young Vietnamese travel? These are some of the most beautiful photos I have seen. They are particularly interesting because they are taken in very remote areas that are not easily accessible to most tourists. I'm most grateful to Hanoi Girl for drawing attention to them. I have sometimes been tempted to buy a better camera myself, but I don't like lugging around big pieces of kit. |
| 9th November 2009 Leah | - From: How do young Vietnamese travel? O my God, the photos are so picture perfect, just like post cards. The author is so cool. |
| 7th November 2009 anonymous | - From: Sunday at Việt Phủ Thành Chương Hi there, thank you very much for your interesting blogs. I love and miss Hanoi (where I was born). When you have free time, can you take some photos of traffic lights in Hanoi and write a blog about that (compare the place with and without traffic lights. I am sure it would be very interesting. I noticed that the new system of traffic lights in Hanoi possesses the down counters, but not for pedestrians. Very strange, but more efficient, I think. |
| 4th November 2009 Governor | You are the best blogger - From: Sunday at Việt Phủ Thành Chương Dear Hanoi girl, You are the best blogger. You really have a feel for your country. I hope to see Việt Phủ Thành Chương myself soon. Thanks for the information. Kent |
| 3rd November 2009 Hideyuki Kobayashi | Thành Chương - From: Sunday at Việt Phủ Thành Chương He is really a Vietnamese contemporay artist, who founded Thành Chương's Viet Palace even on his own. The place lets people enjoy know the heritage of your country's culture, as you well displayed photos . This is, I think, a new type of museum, avoiding "too academic to understand". All right, Ha! I will add here to my visiting list. |

| 30th October 2009 John Strathearn | ethnic groups - From: 54 ethnic groups in Vietnam A very interesting blog. I knew about some of these groups, but I did not realize that there are so many. I've been to the Museum of Ethnology in Hanoi twice. It provides a fascinating insight into the living and working lives of the Vietnamese ethnic groups. It is a 'must' visit for anyone travelling to Hanoi. |

| 27th October 2009 Hideyuki Kobayashi | Tranh cổ động - From: Vietnamese propaganda Thanks for your photos of colourful propaganda bills, which might be one of the best ways to keep same idea in common. Yes, this is a feature in Communist countries. I feel,in China,nothing but being constrained with it because of "written in Chinese Characters" with direct expessions to tell the truth. |

| 17th October 2009 Sandy Meyers | Trip to Vietnam - From: Vietnamese traditional dress Having just come back from my first trip to Vietnam I have to say I think your national dress Áo Dai is one of the most beautiful and elegant costumes I have every seen. I only wish now I had got one made for myself as I think they would be most comfortable to wear for any body shape although they do look very good on the slim Vietnamese women. I love your country and hope to get back one day soon as Thypoon Ketsanaprevented us from getting to Halong Bay and Hoi An Happy travelling Sandy |

| 27th September 2009 longnguyen | - From: Learning foreign languages Agree with you that English is useless in China. I have been Xiamen, China for 5 days and felt worried so much. Even receptionist in 4* hotel they could not communicate with me well. I did not dare to jump to a bus and hard to find a street since all is in Chine characters. Only one thing could help is a small Chinese communication dictionary. It is a really interesting experience. |

| 16th September 2009 Beth Siders | Got the first one finished - From: Hi there, I talked with you about my interest in costumes for my Barbies of the world. I am a grandmother who just turned 60 but have always loved dolls. costumes, and beauty of any kind, so combine them in my creations. I finished my first one of Vietnam. It is a white ao doa, (did I spell that right?), that the students wear. She looks great. I even have a small hat (purchased in the Philippines) for her to wear. In looking at the pictures again I think I need to make the pants more loose at the bottom. Next I am going to try to make a fancy one. Thanks for the picture ideas. You are beautiful in your ao doas. |
| 16th September 2009 van | My favorite ao dai - From: Vietnamese traditional dress September 15th 2009 Van Nguyen Hi, I really love your pics on the site.Ao dai is the most beautiful dress for the Vietnamese's girls and women.When you wear aodai on, you have your own personality.It is not only secretly attractive but also very sexy .And the views are the most beautiful as well.I wish i could see some pics of ao dai from 55 to 60 year old ladies.Thank |
| 13th September 2009 Beth Siders | Lovely - From: Vietnamese traditional dress Hi, I am an American who lived in the Philippines for eight years with my family. I collect Barbie dolls of the world and when I can't find a national custume represented then I sew one. I was looking for images of vietnam and came across your site. Lovely pictures- and your dresses are beautiful. I am going to try to sew two without patterns so wish me luck! Thank You |
| 9th September 2009 Imelle | Going Solo! - From: The loneliness of traveling alone Hey.. I came to your page cause when Im browsing about Vietnam. Yes, Im going to your country next month... Actually not just to your country, to your city Hanoi as well. Well, dont worry keep travelling. I love travelling as well.. and yes you so right when you said that sometimes its not easy to find someone who will agree to travel with you especially if its far! Its not always easy to match your schedule with other people.. plus money matters. Everyone has their own things to do and commitment to stick with. Anyway, cause of those reasons i sometimes travel alone too. I know being an asian (im asian too) its still rare to see girl travelling alone. My last solo trip was last year, went around some countries in Europe...ALONE! Things you can enjoy by going solo is that you free to chose itinerary as you like... freedom to stay in one place as long as you want.. in what kind of hotel, etc etc.. trust me, you cant get this luxury by traveling in group. I tried to organize travel with some of my coworkers to Vietnam. It supposed to be 8 of us... and ohhh boyyyy! Seriously.. it mucccchhh easier organizing your own trip! So what i can say.... either going solo or with companion, there still thing you can enjoy from both trip. So, as long as you enjoy.. Go for it! |
