Bac lieu is my Hometown I was born and brought up in Bac lieu. now I'm living in Ho Chi Minh city for my studying. sometimes my friends want to known my hometown is. When I say to them I feel happy but shy because of the " Cong tu Bac Lieu" 's way using money.
Buon Me Thuot Thanks for your adventurous trek, that is very interesting to me. I have never tried to ride on elephant in Bangkok and Siem Liap. Now, I fee like riding on it next month.
Interesting comments about travels with older folks, Lorenza and I travelled in 2005 to Europe with one of my Uncles and it was interesting because even though he is more than 20 years older than me he was very energetic, he walked slowly but could walk all day - he inspired us a lot! Great blog and lovely photos again. Take care!
Enjoyed reading about Tản Đà spa resort and Khoang Xanh. Also, it was great to learn a little about your parents and see photos of them.
I am in HCMC now and will take a tour to Buôn Mê Thuột this Friday. Maybe I'll see you.

this blog Thanks for another very interesting blog. It is very nice to see your parents. It is a shame that the prices at this place are so high as to be out of reach of ordinary Vietnamese people.
nagarkot. is butteyful vew Thanks for bringing back some memories and logging the trip I was supposed to take there. This was the city I got a bad case of dysentery in, so the family did the excursions while I was glued to my hotel bed. I did make the flight around Everest though
Ao Dai dress Hi Kent! It was too cold for me to wear my Ao Dai that day. Also we had to walk a lot. Thanks for asking this. My friends often ask me why I don't wear Ao Dai when they don't see its photos in every blog.
I missed my chance Dear Hanoi Girl,
I also read the article in Vietnam Airlines magazine. I am sorry I missed my chance. Great Blog. I have only one question: Where was you Ao Dia.

Two Villages Thanks for this very interesting blog. I love these old Red River Delta villages which still engage in their traditional crafts. I will certainly try to visit these if I get the chance to return to Hanoi.
Great Education Your blogs give me a great education I can't find anywhere else. I still say you are a great blog writer. Thanks for what you do. Thanks for being a friend.
Amazing Hello Hong Ha,
I was compelled to run through your blogs and the pictures look just amazing. I have not been able to read through the blogs but I believe that they too must be great. Hope you have many more years of wonderful travel and let the world know how to appriciate the beauty of it.
Take care !
grats Grats on the 100th blog posts.
Added this place to my "go to list" when i am in VietnaM. I cant thank you enough for discovering these places and sharing them and your experiences with the readers here.
Great Photos Congratulations for your attainment of the 100th blog.
And, I am very happy to meet Windysmile’s photos that warm my heart and strangely let me feel like being there.
Such talent! 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.
For Windysmile 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.
Hanoi during Tet holiday 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.
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 :)
Windysmile's photos 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.
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
