Lorenza & I really enjoy your blogs, they give a great insight into the culture of your country, plus some wonderful photos. We visited the Perfume Pagoda while in Vietnam and it was very crowded, but an amazing place to visit (the walk up the mountain after the boat ride was a challenge). Keep up the wonderful writing.
My My My My, Vietnam is such a pretty place, and you are also very beautiful, The Vietnamese people have endured so much yet they are such wonderful people, much thanks. And I hope you find a good man someday

Museum of Ethnology in Hanoi The museum is located 10km away from Hanoi's center. You can go there by taxi or take bus #14 from Hoan Kiem lake. I write in Vietnamese the name of the museum, so that you can show the locals in the bus and they can help you. (Museum of Ethnology, Nguyen Van Huyen street / Vien bao tang dan toc hoc, Duong Nguyen Van Huyen). I think the Museum is closed on Monday.
My next trip I love your blogs, they are very interesting. I will be there next October or November, before the high season. We will be in contact. Love from Argentina.
Edward Brings back memories I was in VN in August 2008, for 2 weeks, Dong Ha, Khe San, rt 9 and 1 and also ho chi minh trail from khe sen south along the laos border. It was amazing. thanks for a good blog.
Thanks for the update Appreciate your Travel Blog and read everyone of them. Your pictures are great and you look so nice in your Blue Traditional Dress. We are planning on going to Savannakhet in June from Hue and traveling in Southern Lao. We spend a month every summer visiting friends and relatives in Hue. Keep up the fun Blog. Cheers from Chas
FLOWERS Thanks for the super photos. I was always impressed at the beautiful flowers on sale in Hanoi at such reasonable prices. I had not heard about the miniature ceramic houses before. The Vietnamese have so many fascinating traditions.
Good pics My wife liked looking at your pictures very much. We too are planning to go to your beautiful country next summer. I think I might steal your idea of showing different foods for my blog.

Nice Pictures Your blog is very good and I always look forward to reading them and seeing your pictures. I can't wait to return to Vietnam again this summer. Merry Christmas and a very good New Years to you and your Family. Keep up the great blogging.
Great job!!! I really like your entries and photos! Even I was in Hn for a long time and I love Hn as much as the Hn food (or Vnese food), I never seen a better blog about food... That makes some Hanoi senses. I miss all of them. Thank you and wish you the best (health and money and time) to continue your travels.
Noodle Variety!! It sounds like you had a great time at this restaurant. I think it's really interesting to hear the variety of different types of noodles they have. Considering rice and noodles are their main types of food they eat for their meals, they are able to create a multitude of dishes by creating different combinations of chicken, beef, etc. The selection of the size of noodles sound incredible! This makes me want to go out for some Vietnamese noodle soup right now!
Ninh Binh Hi we have been to the Ninh Binh area a couple times and have not visited Phat Diem. Now that I have seen your photo's I can see it is a must visit place to go. Thanks for the great pictures.
Can't wait to return to Vietnam Enjoy your travel blogs so much. Your pictures area great. Please keep up the good work. Your blog helps keeping me counting the days until I return in June 09.
