You are lucky to have a good photographer.
Keep on traveling and keep taking those pics with your ao dai.

wonderful Hi,
I just came across your site when searching for images of girls in ao dai. Having lived in Vietnam for 15 years I still find the ao dai the most attractive and graceful dress on this planet. Nothing compares to it and it is pleasing to see someone such as yourself travelling the world showcasing this wonderful dress.
I can understand the need for young women to wear western style dress these days but perhaps they do not realise that they all look their most beautiful when wearing an ao dai.
For me, the ao dai, is the single most beautiful vision of Vietnam and it should be universally recognised as the dress that brings Vietnam's culture to the world.
Thanks. Paul
Haha-good thing you can speak Japanese. Same thing happen when I asked an elderly man to take my photo with me and a tree. Every the photo came out with the tree but not me in it. Your Lotus there are 4 times as large as those here in Hawaii.
Beautiful I love the blog you have about Ha Long Bay. I just wanted to say hi and to thank you for the lovely pictures you have in your blog. Beautiful.
about your essay i would like to thank to you because of writing an essay about my country,Brunei Darussalam. i love my country!!!!! once again, thank you very much.
The Red and white Ao Dai you wore in Guilin was very pretty and with the nice backdrop, it was like a calendar photo. Your blog really shows your love for travelling and sharing your joy.
Hi Hongha, you should have set up your blog long time ago...but never too late since you have so much to write & contribute. I used to read about your contribution on Lonely Planet.
I visited Hanoi after Christmas in 2007 but only stayed four days. Went to Halong 2D1N. Enjoyed Halong Bay cruise very much. Something differnt staying on a junk boat. The weather was cold & windy in the open sea. Other than that, everything was just wonderful. Saw Hanoi people welcoming new year. I plan to visit Sapa next time & your write up on Sapa is helpful. Keep writing.
Cat Cat Village So glad you keeping up the traditions and continue to wear the Ao Dai. We have Vietnamese here in Hawaii, but rarely see them worn anymore. I was a soldier station in Qui Nhon during '63-'64, and always felt Vietnam had good potential for Tourism due to it's unique culture, friendly people and natural beauty. I'm glad times are happier now and people can enjoy life again and are visiting there. I didn't realize there were so many Minorities in Vietnam. The photos of them are so colorful and interesting and they seem so unspoiled by Western influences. Also the artwork you posted on previous blog is so colorful and varied from what I saw in Vietnam and in the local Vietnamese Shops. I especially like the traditional Mother of Pearl in-laid sceneries.
I am a Hanoi_girl who loves to travel. When working for a Japanese construction company in Hanoi, I had the chance to travel to 28 countries and to all the 63 provinces in Vietnam, including 25 trips to Huế city. Egypt, Mongolia and Italy are my love, and other favorite countries are Australia, France, New Zealand, Nepal, Fiji, Japan, India, Indonesia, Belgium, Netherlands, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, China (8 trips, 15 cities), South Korea, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Cambodia (3 trips), Brunei Darussalam, the United Arab Emirates, Bangladesh, the Philippines, Laos (3 trips), Malaysia (4 trips), Singap... full info
