VIETNAM































"All boulevards and brothels if I know the French Colonies"
Ritchie Hook


My generation were shaped by what some call the post imperial wars...and with my fascination with 'colonial' history I always wanted to see Vietnam, so here I am enjoying Hanoi and about to cycle down to Hue and the DMZ...it is wonderful so far, people so friendly (theres a backpacker comment!) and the food...with great coffee and fresh baked baguettes everywhere, time to get some exercise!


Yes, sadly over, now in bangkok and soon in Kathmandu, and off the Everest on monday...and if you have not been, do..Vietnam is truly a wonderful experience.

"All boulevards and brothels if you know the French colonies" as per Major Richie-Hook quote....

So tell us Joel - we are all agog - WHAT drew you to holidaying in Vietnam?
