Viet Nam travel

April has just returned from Viet Nam tourism, took time out to write this travelogue, I like the straight line drawing, composition you want later to Viet Nam's friends have added.

First, go to the border

Now generally go to Viet Nam must first be interchange Nanning, we are no exception, the aircraft arrived at night, Nanning, am a rush to get up at the border.

This time it is said that another border crossings--mount Street, because gambling only closed, so enter Viet Nam's major ports is Pingxiang.

Trains depart from 8 a.m., which lasted nearly four hours arrival Pingxiang.

Have been unfamiliar to Guangxi, only know here relatively poorer, but sitting on the train to go to the felt along the look than previously imagined more distance: poor soil, drought, "Karst landforms seen everywhere," this is a rare, exclusive geomorphology, can form very beautiful natural scenery, but here is not the case: the less because of the water was dried up and the lack of a scene from the angry, the ubiquitous little stone forest-like rock group is continuing the railway or the mountain farms to make local arable aggravated; railway farm and residential buildings but also looked very old and rundown. And no exaggeration to say here and the gap between the developed inland provinces of at least 20 years. Car to Pingxiang, seen as a kind of scene: How do you see the station waiting room are like on the 1960s; the streets and towns small station, the city does not dust, the lack of time. I was thinking since the opening of Pingxiang as main ports, since there are so many Chinese and foreign tourists have to access it from here, why not appropriate to add some input?, like a person, the family was not wealthy, but courtesy, a clean and tidy coat or need to purchase new, what's more, this is about the country on the face of dignity.

From Pingxiang drove to exit at about half an hour by car, the destination is the famous "houyiguan".

! Houyiguan! in the 1950s and 1960s was born of a generation, it is so familiar with and respect.

In the 1960s and 1970s, two famous war (the war to and self-defence counterattack), had already made it known to spread, the officers here is both an expedition of sprinkles jiuzhuang don't, is returning hero triumphant gate, it is in the hearts of the frontier fighters have too much too heavy weight. Listen to a lot of soldiers returning from an expedition Viet Nam said, when the war returned, when soldiers look houyiguan that great figure, no tears, excited, it's back to the mother's arms of excited, it's the thrill of victory, triumph, it was a cruel war aftermath of glad that more is lost after close comrade and brother of sadness! those emotions is not a war of people could not understand, I understand ... ....

Time, time in a rush, not between the forty years of time has passed, the current generation of soldiers are hanging down the old, but as a historical witness houyiguan, through the baptism of the storm, it still stands in the borderlands, although it seems so old and also although plaque stripping, on both sides of the relationship between what changes have occurred, I sincerely wish it forever preserved.

"Houyiguan" and "houyiguan" willing to close internal and external people generations of generation-for peace, development, don't fight, not war!

(To be continued)

More about Viet Nam (1)-old beams and peanut shell infants

At first glance, the accountants and old beams in the Chinese side houyiguan, police obviously puzzled his dress, spacious pine pieces of t-shirts, trousers similarly swooned drooping, shoulder under a know what travel agency's nylon flat flat land at a two single, complete a pair of get up early to go to the streets to buy dough. Very easily, I took off, to listen to him also and police milling Jack "I went to Hong Kong on several occasions." corridors along the garden out-to the customs, the landscape immediately, dirt track which lay article somehow return who tube straw dogs is squint doze, railings rows of wooden houses by the Sun walk straight staight of Viet Nam police. Because not doing so called quarantine certificate, handed passports when clamping the 30 bucks to get in, for the first time it was tensions bribes, they look a little familiar seems to be that there's no sneaky, sport may knock out chapter also I Passport went so far as wrinkled up old leather gave me a smile. Fill out the immigration card, old beams and finally came in, on the card face embarrassment, so simply fill up the way for him also know this bit from Shenzhen's white middle-aged man some number. I suspect that Viet Nam this gate of sole purpose is to earn points for bribery of bulk silver, you turn over the money then nobody you, put the completed card into the window of a throw, you can openly from the baggage inspection machine next to walk into that country. And old beams more, plug out money directly with the completed cards intact, a departure was not recorded.-a person walking accustomed to dumped him, but look at the can share the cost of the trip to lang son, is the first time begin paragraph with fellow travelers trip, a large Pack a carrying small pockets, not know thought I was the old beams hired Porter.. from lang son to Hanoi for two and a half hours, and a group of young people in the van, shake away shaky from mountains to Plains, warm air poured into the car, the simplicity of the people on the radio Eau songs sound slept stagger. The car will soon pass large factory decrepit suburb, across the Red River directly into Hanoi's old town. Got to like here, like a child to have a southern city, the narrow streets of the little house, separate from the slender, balcony and window are hidden in the branches, humid atmosphere, natural and suitable for people quiet life. old beams is a critic, off the car began to busy to do a qualitative analysis of Hanoi, "good cars on the road a lot of Ah," "black uniforms and less dyeing, so green is very strange," and "cool, cool, how do so many" pretty woman! this Hanoi I'm the girl also surprise, although the city is very uncommon to legendary Mayele girl, beauty and wearing by grade are no small, a sweeping head black and short bias. A close look at the past, the darker eyes and direct more of Ufa, eyes are black and white without contamination-like, it all can be worthy of the title of Qing accommodation. A long time before we know, Viet Nam is a real beauty origin in Southeast Asia. another travel with travel benefits is entitled to a person not dare to interfere with the cuisine, a full pot of stew fish and several half-half of the dishes in the mixed with fish sauce of white rice, common ejectors the full satisfaction of the first string burp. Old beams drinking the tame greeting to start of tea, looking around about latest touch, see, next to the table around a large circle of people, snuggle in the past is not fun at dish directly speaks up Chinese "what is this?", look at people stare he added, "that is to say, this is what to do?", people quickly took the tray up to his taste, old beams are embarrassed when I walk back side also did not forget and human communication, "don't, don't, I just ask that curiosity." First overseas one sentence does old beams simply do not know what is the fear of the next day morning hit one out, but also solve problems also come back safe for breakfast, in any assessment of head Kan starting price to he always got convinced and keeping promise but the cybercriminals, every time I lost the final to follow obediently on banners and flags are very sensitive to find the correct direction behind him. Old beams is a courageous man. .. to Hanoi next morning the station in Tam Thuong Guesthouse I room balcony, side of the red banner hangs at the end of the yellow star, in the immediate window is almost opposite the buildings reach, colourful walls the following people have been a day of business, idle and comfortable enough to make you forget the troubles before. next is a full day of wandering, old beams the happiest is a temple to soon to high school daughter full ground recently, is like a they worshipped three worship. Side Gallery, dressed in Viet Nam gu served people use chopsticks method to hold the brush to the people, ask for words of many female students, took the word twos and sat in for the next chat is the stone Pavilion, passing the word spread on the ground to dry.. at the Kiem Lake bought water puppet show in the afternoon, it's still early, take a stroll around drizzle to Theatre at the surface of the good old beams is a Oriental girl holding the camera stopped request help in English, old beams like a photo or would like to say "half or whole body?", I was cold, the girl is happy to skip the old high, mouth immediately hopped to many Chinese, originally from Guangzhou in Jining girls echo. water puppet theatre is actually in the arena with thick surrounding a large tarpaulin, pool, hand bow sideways in the hamlet set with very thick long bamboo controlled puppet show some pasture farming, Dragon play Phoenix tricks, bustling down fairly interesting. But can't stand the pool on the top of the playing and singing, cheep cheep sheepish and his boyish hem haha, ten minutes would sprinkle the successful hypnotic. After reading all the way to find out the play to eat, see a woman holding a root Parmesan a channeling a channeling go look familiar, Hey a throat really echo, dinner mission was inaugurated. I wonder where I get to echo, a taxi to take us to a so-called local people in the most famous beef barbecue and hot pot, but only the Vietnamese menu cannot exchange, last echo of the using the proprietress of a mobile phone connectivity on the road of Hanoi people help remote point. Happy is the echo of tobacco and alcohol are some, go State, health, old beams also couldn't help but laugh pojie, meat and wine.. original echo some of the world for many years the progenitor, lurking, online claiming to be "children" peanut shell, in Sichuan to Tibet and the landscape has many times, so I drink drunk of Highland barley wine, a plateau with no fart red, 30One night in a casually balang learning. The end is the girl said to Lijiang Huotang Hotel quiet night happy party was saddened. Get help but old beams, for people worried about "you are so full of fun, and age are not small for never married is not good," "I married", "Oh, that's good that's good."-happy night of the last old beams out elderly dignified deliberately bought himself. TThe, old beams alone take the bus back to the State holidays limited echo as the open bus all the way to immediately rush, I was back to normal. After a good talk again in Chinese have been in the NHA, and three from Saigon to the North of DHL Shanghai staff; and then the next, and in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap together to watch the sunset, the Khmer dishes of polly products. Thanks to their timely, in that time with me to chat, let me use their own language.

South Viet Nam (1): Hanoi

Viet Nam, Indochina peninsula, a whole side of the country are facing the South China Sea.

Viet Nam narrow terrain, in the narrowest place, it is said that things are however 50 km/h. Off the map, the arches of the s-shaped, graceful as AO Dai girl figure.

Play in Viet Nam, the most natural way, of course, is the main North-South.

Many people will have a thought of Viet Nam.

Some people think of Viet Nam, backward confusion, even already open, but like the 1980s in China. Some people think of Viet Nam, exotic and romantic, random can stumble across the Mekong River of love, especially to the Sai is tantamount to the reconstructed time lover ".

The compromise is that the northern Viet Nam, China Southern as France.

My trip, starting from the North.

Sat night haunts of the airport, to my mind was not going to fly to in Viet Nam, but their own country.

It is night, 9 points more flights also onto the 11 point after take-off.

Staff explained that the national front security tight, although the terminus in Guangzhou, the aircraft has to go through the airspace control in Beijing, one a slow release.

Arrive in Hanoi, is late at night.

The street is silence, only the shadows drizzles, occasional night of motorcycle, building corner have beggars, road wall and pole is affixed with domestic common "psoriasis". Viet Nam to my first impression is really "China", real and are familiar with, belongs to the town's side.

It seems just rain, dark and narrow alley a muddy, filled with an unpleasant taste.

Drivers struck half Tianmen, and played several times, closed door bell rang and rang, the lights finally lit, a young man asleep and opened the door.

Fortunately the book online in advance of the Inn, but chose to pay for the Inn at the airport.

Otherwise, the vast exotic streets late at night, I don't know what to do.

Inn of the conditions is actually very simple, the bathroom was almost off the crack pipe of hydrants and makes me glad I booked for one night only.

But after the representations daylight, dismissed the I want to change the idea of an Inn.

Inn people intrigued me in another room, but also for my travel plan provides many useful information.

Think before you pass the message, the host initiative that provides backpackers need any travel assistance, carefully describes the Mongolian people Viet Nam motorcycle reminded me not falling for scams, and compliance in the airport waiting for my late into the night, the stranger, I decided to believe.

Results demonstrate that the Inn have lived up to my trust.

Later discovered that Viet Nam over the country Inn is almost always the case. The "hardware" is not good, even those small hotel set significance greater than the practical function of disposable teeth, what none of slippers, I prepared the unprecedented amount of luggage sent on the usefulness from a waterproof bandage to chuangketie, from rubber to clothesline.

But many of the Inn has wireless Internet signal.

Even if the room has a weak signal, there are always near to a small bar WIFI provided. Inn in socket, do not like online say so single, although mostly German round hole, but there are also some itself like a converter, not only can you insert flat two-pin plug, and even insert a a small American plugs. I've bought a converter, most of her time.

The most unexpected or Inn.

Seems to me, what they will always answer, Yes, I can help you.

They can help in all-encompassing.

Query various travel information, help booking, tourist line are basically the default services. It can also help to extend the visa, even solve the Viet Nam travel abroad.

Hanoi the Inn's message boards, many gave the master of TIEN enthusiastic praise.

He used to help guests settled from Hanoi to continue going to Beijing's visa, you also have the guest loses something in the Bay to the back.

Looks great and think it is not difficult, Laban, many are familiar with the personal resources, is this enthusiastic guests poured occasionally used in passing.

No wonder that the facilities will humble Inn, do not seem to be missing the tenant. Most Westerners is blond. This way, I have not come across too many like me go backpackers in China.

Extend out the door from the Inn, the whole lane is packed with small stalls are placed anywhere.

Simple wicker basket with fruits and vegetables, the vendors were swelled in sticking to their positions. The so-called Viet Nam like previous China, probably this is the case, in a messy and humble, through a small Bud is becoming like a tough life.

I went through these assessments for fruits and vegetables, boarding at lanes exit Inn call taxi, began the Hanoi the itinerary.

Pocket with a shield, just Viet Nam 1800000 with $ 100 a person to the Inn.

Are not used to these denominations, a long list of figures make me dizzy Brain swelling. Also for this reason, this day in spending money there was obvious calculation errors.

Tell the driver that you want to go to the bus station Plaza, the car stops at a gate.

Mun in seemingly garden community, went in to see a white building, quite satisfactory appearance was to let people know that this is the Ho Chi Minh Museum. The Museum is the first layer, visit the tourists rest area showroom first stairs. The Hall is divided into two levels, different styles, two separate things. Apart from a small number of Ho Chi Minh bottom times, basically is Viet Nam development achievements exhibition. Economic statistics by industry "thriving" pendulum photos, representatives of all sectors in the event of a harmonious picture, there is a style like the propaganda printmaking revolution, in form and content, all seemed to take me back to the familiar China.

I think I'd disdains the "publicity" method, but when I saw the huge world map on the wall of the crest, marking the only instructions visit this museum guests from all over the world, suddenly feel that stand in the outsider's perspective, it's understandable

A national effort to make the world recognized the State of mind. Rigid posture, often hide a lonely.

The top level of the Hall is very special, like an abstract art room.

Metals, plastics, coatings and other modern materials, the simulation of the sky from the sea and the ancient legend of semi abstract sculptures and styling, like art and as realistic works, let me turn the two circle still don't understand what this exhibition. All instructions are not Chinese, only written in Chinese is "do not touch the heritage" warning signs, gives small embarrassed, but at the same time find it strange, because those "relics", apparently abstract modern art.

Museums nearby are the famous single-column Temple, the smaller than I expected, just like a zoom of Buddha shrine hanging on the water, but by a pillar supports.

Surrounded by green trees surround the environment but also elegant. There is a seat next to looks very ordinary Ting jiayou Temple, but turn a blind eye to the visitors around, it seems completely reduced to a single-column Temple plots, but also more independent come. I went in to a silly, Temple is quietly waiting for me to walk out the door, just behind me shut the door gently.

Then walk a few steps, the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum.

But I was a guard stopped, that is the grave maintenance, close to two months. I noticed on the great dividing range of restricted areas, originally not spacious bar Pavilion square more cramped. Closed area of Ho Chi Minh mausoleum, like for a big box on stage. Sky somber, dark gray, and the huge buildings seem mysterious and solemn. Closed area of bright colors, a bright red Viet Nam flag at the gray sky jump off. This has a lot of Western-style building, the yellow streets of green trees and neatly, at first sight, the vibrant.

I am in the school, that Pavilion square round trip is a motorcycle driver stopped.

He hopes to pick up I went to other attractions.

In order to convince me that he took out a full national tourists reviews of little book.

In fact, I didn't look at the above Chinese message, saw the English of the Museum of anthropology. Raiders have introduced, this place seems to be worth a go.

Negotiated prices start at once.

The way I and motorcycle drivers with each other-a-dozen of bad English repeated Exchange, and finally understand, Ho Chi Minh mausoleum and the former residence of my next to Ho Chi Minh ining, the reasons are different. The former is maintenance, which is the same as with Ho Chi Minh Museum, is a normal closing time at noon. And so I visited the Museum of anthropology at the end of the afternoon you can go back and visit Ho Chi Minh's residence.

Oh wait, you will take me back? I commonly asked.

Will.

Drivers for it very refreshing.

I didn't think that the hidden meaning here is another single business.

Later encounter in Viet Nam to be particularly careful motorcycle drivers, it really was justified.

Anthropology Museum with my imagination the gap slightly.

Comparison of indoor showroom of layout, style at random, there are pictures, wuza is real, there is a scene simulation, video recording, making a round in a circle and see what a theme, a bit like Viet Nam folk show, sort of like a brief history of social development in Viet Nam, a bit like Viet Nam economic diplomacy. I think to Sociology named Museum perhaps more appropriately, a unique intuitive see anthropological significance, are some of the obvious performance reproduction worship of woodcarving.

Similar works outdoors, rough stick-shaped, publicity and exaggerated gestures, fence surrounding a circle that encloses a low small house.

Rather, it is next to a shape very cartoon big cottage. Roof in very oblique pole tip, fully 1970 ° slope, the vacant houses, through the narrow wooden ladder to climb up. Nearby there is a similar need to climb up the wood cottage, styling instead, like a knuckle on three Prism, like a long long triangle bread.

These are the essence of the Museum, built in the exhibition hall, a large garden on the antique village of sparse.

Is Viet Nam national style in the history of the thatched cottages and huts, very unique. Just step on in the bamboo and mats prepared by vacant on the floor, though fragile, do not know whether the previous Viet Nam dwellings are in this way, it feels like walking in the clouds.

After visiting the Museum of anthropology, dark clouds in the sky, the Sun has gone to fully develop their enthusiasm.

Have been waiting for my motorcycle drivers are also very enthusiastic, not only come about if send me back to the bus station square of Ho Chi Minh's former residence, personal follow, mechanically to take me. I realize that he may be using the default style is better service, they stopped talking to him.

Sure enough, the driver started in troubled waters, the Museum of anthropology of one-way 30000 shield orally agreed as 50000 shield, found not for my memory, but changed to flaunt their attentive service.

Such equanimity improvisation seems not easy to get rid of it, I simply put the former to Ho Chi Minh Kiem way also to his contract, and finally into the General Ledger.

And next to the presidential palace-style luxury, Ho Chi Minh's former residence of odds simply extraordinary.

Two-storey wooden legs, back and do open-air room, top floor is just a simple living room and bedroom. This simple house position has more important, from a combination of care staff, visitors can visit along the designated route one-way. Then the surrounding environment, green trees swaying Lake Lianyan, pleasant. Just like in the forests in the home, live in a villa or bungalow in fact, the difference is not great.

From Ho Chi Minh's former residence, go straight to the Kiem, Inn is close at hand.

The money paid to the motorcycle drivers, I started walking around in Kiem. Kiem Hanoi old town's Center is the base of the Quartet backpackers, but looks outstanding landscape itself does not seem to be just an ordinary leisure activity area.

Standing by the lake view, Lake Central small Tower like a sword handle, it should be a turtle Tower.

The legendary lake in the turtle has a monarch gave shenjian Viet Nam. Sword in defeating the enemy has come back after being sent, Kiem and thus its name.

Legend has been spoken, but you can imagine, when the so-called enemy is China.

Viet Nam end from Chinese ruleWhile independent, even text also get rid of, but the remains of Chinese culture, is omnipresent.

Kiem have a Yu-Shan Temple, the Chinese of menlian.

I have a bridge to the Yu-Shan Temple meet on several Chinese girl, slightly rigid pronunciations, let me tell them is to learn Chinese in Viet Nam. A question, it really was. Several large second girl, came here to watch the Chinese tourists, with a view to the practice of Chinese.

Girls all claim to be Chinese, until I was found here.

So excitedly around me, Twitter. I asked them why you want to learn Chinese, one girl said, because she is very fond of Chinese culture.

Sounds like a language practice of standard answers, say this answer girl, most standard pronunciation.

Another girl answers more concrete, that want to go to China. The girl on the most accurate spoken vocabulary comprehension.

I watch these girls, imagine their heart.

China and Viet Nam should be entitled, on the other, but heavy historical association due to years of dust, and for young children, the pursuit of the future is even more important.

From Kiem walking back to the Inn, are selling clothes and small shops, roaring motorbike and crammed full of narrow streets.

Although everywhere I looked at the headaches Viet Nam text, but there are always some old style facade, also engraved with Chinese old buildings now came into sight, trance, really like the back between Parton, walking in the streets of China. In particular, oncoming, reminding one of the men and women is their compatriots. If we say that Thailand and Cambodia have managed to have a little colour black, orbital characteristics of Viet Nam people simply talk to Chinese people. Clothing fashion for young people, is quite handsome beauty.

I remind myself that this is Hanoi.

Further South, should have deviated from China.

But even so, still think that what you see is probably sick of people.

Finally found that street rare to see a fat man.

There is a slim build, do not know whether it can be used as the economy has not yet developed by circumstantial evidence.

But back to the Inn is reckoned a day spend, but found an let me kiss.

Less 20 million guilders.

After much deliberation, only one possible, been taken away for motorcycle drivers.

I remember very well, with 180 million Inn for Viet Nam shield, only one denomination is 20 million.

This note was last seen, is also the sword Lake pay driver. First took out the notes driver jokes on this one. I say no, ask all costs only 10 million guilders. They fished other ticket 10 million, up enough drivers continue to lobby for the period, can't stand his long-winded, last I gave 15000 shield tip.

And now, the 20 million of notes has gone, just on the accounts of the gap.

Is likely to be in me like choke a fastener for banknotes, Brain swelling and counting the zeros, driver side nagging transfer my attention while passing away my hand this 200000 shield.

Rumors of the treacherous in Viet Nam motorcycle, and finally to personally experience.

But there is also a strategy that in Viet Nam tours, riding a motorcycle is almost impossible. Want to come to the Kingdom of the motorcycle, also in the pursuit of the phase of the barn is. Barn real and etiquette, in such circumstances lost money, blame their outdated carelessness.

This event but I have two harvest.

One is to quickly learn a few tips for Viet Nam shield, is after the money on three zero cross out and replace it as the "thousand".

Basically, Viet Nam's consumption is to "Chin shield" for the units, Chin shield following the change, the locals will be fuzzy ignored.

Second, try to avoid this result by motorcycle, all the way to try out planes, trains, long-distance buses, commuter bus, coach, taxi, car, cruise, sampan, motorcycle, bike, walk, and other human traffic, incomparably rich.

Southern Vietnam travel memories (1)

Before the Spring Festival, by Viet Nam in Guangzhou Consulate Office of the visa is very convenient, as long as-your Passport, Tim form and send it back to the visa fees, postage, etc., more than 300 Yuan RMB just sent in the past, about 5 days should be sent to Shanghai.

Five in the afternoon, at the beginning of continuous winter rain, I boarded the flight flight flight to Oriental Paris-Sai (Viet Nam Viet Nam to Memorial after the reunification of Sun Yat-Sen, renamed Ho Chi Minh). model is a Boeing 757, Chinese people more, mostly in the business, I met on the machine a few friends are engaged by Ho Chi Minh-funded factory engineers. Furthermore, there is a tourist from China to return in Viet Nam there are several tours that Viet Nam nuns.

4 hours, the aircraft landed at Saigon airport one out of the airport, feeling sultry weather anomaly, from 0 degrees Celsius of Shanghai to 36 degrees here, it's a bit environment does not adapt. I mention sitting on a pick that several engineers, Ho Chi Minh streets full of like locusts-like MOTO car, a bit like 20 years ago by the Canton Street. due to the destination is not a, I first got out of the car, cross road treasure, I am alone carrying luggage stand in exotic twilight street waiting for waving TAXI to fan-old street.

English is not good as horizontal in Viet Nam travel (1)

Note: before

I am back in early September is planning to go to Viet Nam, I did not really want to Viet Nam.

Only because the national boring, stay in Guangzhou days must have been a corruption, not playing cards, drink, not much meaning about friends, this working overtime, that you want to accompany a LP. I exam, go, anyway, I always love unique, I GO! miles alone! I am a man, I'm afraid!

Plan well, bought this [Viet Nam Vietnam and the United States], and go to the Consulate visa, there are three days RMB380, 29 counties.

Finished ready to buy a ticket, to David to North Vietnam look. The way to WIN back the travel tushan, when people ask me to Viet Nam. But on Taobao bought specialties, Viet Nam has found someone selling tickets 1050RMB HONGKONG--SAI GON; make a phone call in the past, UA air, 30, starting in the late 20: 05, 6, 6: 10 returns. Booked tickets, tax-total 1410RMB. The fact that I had to rearranging tourism programmes: decisions 1, 2, Sai Kung shopping; the MEKONG DELTA tour; hue, flying to Da Nang, no. 4, sat night train back to Saigon, FB, in Saigon. Then I found out that my plans, technically serious faults, Viet Nam's transport is too slow. Of course, I am uncertain factors.

Travel notes:

DAY 1: 30 in the morning, followed by family farewell, my parents thought I was about to go the friends you trust.

I went to the East station, bought 11: 18 by rail to the Lo Wu. Get off at the pass ate the last meal of Chinese food, some $. Through seated East Rail to get off at the Sha Tin (online presentation here go BUS most dai A41) and see if it's still early, simply visit the Center from the Sha Tin. To a faster half past three sit underground layers, A41, a car, go straight to the second floor, and suddenly see a beautiful hostess sitting on it. Should have to sit next to her, but car space, had to sit in front of her. Anyway, I always colored heart, no color. About 40 minutes to the airport, all right, and bookstores. Through customs inspection, to the restricted area, sitting in a coffee shop, see several Viet Nam aviation stewardess, rather than just the car, the air hostesses do not know which company, good temperament! a second road safety inspection, toothpaste and disinfection of water were confiscated. On the plane, UA that has two air stewardess? strong plus several air aunt. Boring, sleeping. Should fly two and a half minutes, Center for avoiding typhoons, flew three clock. To the airport, see anyone waiting for someone to chat-is in the past, with Shenzhen Xiao Zhao, led by seven groups, but the next day to go to Phnom Penh, then go to Angkor. For nearly a million guilders, Viet Nam, the route turns. carpool Finally find a place to live, and though he fight room.

DAY 2: six, luggage in the HOTEL, and though they went to Phnom Penh SINH CAFÉ, too many people, they want to go in two cars to stop.

Also forgot to ask though and the talk like a splash of primary school teachers MM gun, sorry! breakfast, on the opposite, with 12 million rented motorcycle, Department of the nearby, plus over oil, broke down, push back, see can't catch fire, one for me, and wagon I to petrol stations with good oil to me. I began to fly, look at the map, it is estimated that about direction forward.

The CHA TAM Church, just look at the Church, for a moment, there is a speed-to-Wing Yan pagoda, back to the City Theatre, as if on that day didn't show.

Town Hall door looked, but couldn't get in. Look at the map back to the HOTEL, see Zhaoqing Hall, get off, turned out to be a temple, the Chinese and the Museum of communication, a middle-aged women speak the vernacular is not standard. Back to CAFÉ, see SINH two girls speak Chinese, feel like finding organization, communication, talks to LAKITA, NUNU, speak Mandarin as she both MEKONG River shopping tomorrow, bought and they flew the same ticket. LAKITA also tell me where I can buy MOBIFONE's mobile phone card. I found a family, who knows the SIM card inserted should recognize that Viet Nam MM to me not to communicate, to call the help desk, I hear, the service centre with my talks, I phone model for LG U8210 U8210C, can, I nearly hematemesis. Fortunately, the money back. Driving, suddenly see a hotel has a Chinese signs [the spending Dragon Hotel], sure enough, the front desk in Chinese, two-star, single room, 20 USD/day. Bath, drove out the door.

Open a few hundred metres you see a nice restaurant, the decoration, the waiters in the holding room, I was dumbfounded, Viet Nam.

I also acknowledge the CAFÉ, point a, then see CHEN, I guess, for chicken. Khao, was a dish on chips. No way, a sadderbut a. I went to the Museum of the revolution, and saw no particular, saw the old two broken plane and an old tank. Next, go to the reunification Palace, 15000VND, here is good, stately, and Viet Nam guide explaining, anyway MM head, with a group of Taiwan tourists together with her, but they take the stairs, I see the lift as much by the province, haha! up to the rooftop lounge, sit down and drink Cola, watching old South Vietnamese President escaped with helicopters, super-cool! tujian square with Viet Nam military drills, hurried downstairs for the entertainment. Hurriedly, step on the second floor of the central large rugs, exhibits, guard called English, okay, I understand, at least worthy of my English teacher, students didn't give you lose face.

Look for a drilling, boring, nurse, who also used old-fashioned AK47, we had no PLA, although you use AK playing away old beauty, but also cannot be used to the 21st century, to niaoqianghuanpao.

Back to the HOTEL via a India temples, go in and look back to see the book knows is Sai only MARIAMMAN TEMPLE HINDU.

Back to spend long, a call to LAKITA, about their dinner. They had promised. There is little twists and turns, finally found that restaurant, something to eat, someone helpBusy, no points are wrong.

Tale---Saigon of Viet Nam

Great direction North Viet Nam she.

Since played its doors after the small sword became public relations, bus ticket is her all the way to get in, very clean.

See a few foreigners for backpackers, heart, and the small sword quips to find organizations, not the comrades are foreigners or old.

Goodbye my love of Angkor, Phnom Penh.

The scenery along the way remains a tall coconut trees swaying in the wind, and green mango tree.

Small sword has been a wonder of the Cambodian people's livelihood plans no paddy field, I was nervous of around, how to become a leading inspection public sentiment drops?

Did not expect from the Cambodian border to Viet Nam is very simple, the legendary sacked didn't happen, I also act as carrying a large bag drops a old donkey.

All the way to the North, rich colors and sharp turns, paddy fields were also up, very small sword leadership is satisfied, praise or Viet Nam people's hard-working, but I didn't expect was subsequently industrious people we gave the Viet Nam drop cheated.

Enter the Ho Chi Minh City, saw all kinds of colourful House, let me very excited, shoot, results have been laughed at, say a substantial decline in my aesthetic.

Ho Chi Minh City, I prefer to call the Sai.

All impressions are from before his departure to see the "lover", seemed to be filled with a hint of sadness, humid air, depressed mood.

The seven hour drive, finally came to the fan-old street.

This street is a three-dimensional, multi-angle, gorgeous, and noisy, life, approachable, along the street filled with a vast swathe of café, travel goods shop, fruit or open restaurant, travel agency Office.

The feeling of dizziness.

Carrying a large bag on the way to find the hotel.

Holding a book written in Chinese female gonglue, but write hotel is not a price is not found.

Or are you looking for a home, fat Viet Nam MM band we see room, say is on the second floor, the result becomes the fourth floor.

Gosh, climbing we are out of breath, so that what is not tube, to the room.

Moreover, there is also a large balcony facing the street.

Later discovered that this was unnecessary, the balcony opposite the building of a pair of exotic lovers on a clear night sky kiss that is romantic, we were two middle-aged women back home all day, tired of the bed and do not want to move, to waste!

Wash the comb, the two decided to go Shopping.

For the first time to the amount of great Viet Nam votes, get some money when the small sword pictures, results and this so-called quasi photography enthusiasts should shoot I like money, anything!

Walking in the street lanterns, always has an immersive not really interested, curious and sober, know where you are, but true.

Street motorcycles roaring, even.

Look at all the pretty hairy, odd is that those who build slim Viet Nam Women driving this mighty iron Guy also flexible in the car through the sea.

Street Cafe full, each face is with lazy, casual, comfortable relaxation and under extreme body outside the neutral does not review or demeanor.

Go to PHO2000, a rice noodle shop chains, eat authentic fresh rice noodles.

The only regret that the quantity is too small.

See the many beautiful shops, eyes beaming go in, start them, huh, huh!

The second day visiting Saigon city.

But see full street motorcycle began to dizziness. Holding the map to go to ask for directions,

All the way to ask a couple of Viet Nam, indicated in the direction of the Northwest, Southeast is disoriented.

In our weak feeling upset, I met the first of our journey a liar, not, should be two cheats.

Two pedicab.

Know the Kung Fu, the tricycle will blackmail visitors, so come before going to the place and the price are written on paper, but against infection, we'd all been cheated.

Of course, the unique sitting in Viet Nam, the feeling of human tricycles or very good.

A whole day in Saigon and tidy, quiet with French-style buildings in the street shuttle countdown, watching the Sun leaves from the top of this gap was moved to the slit.

Those filled with European style of French small house, and Viet Nam the traditional courtyard from each other, there is a spatial-temporal zigzag-like beauty.

As Annie said, post office like a train station.

Huge colonial architecture, complicated gorgeous white emboss, went in to see the huge dome. Long row of wood chairs in the open lobby.

The door is the warm sunlight at noon.

1877 built the magnificent red Church still quietly standing there, exquisite, old, red brick brightening skies were particularly eye-catching.

War Museum depressing.

Town Hall of two storey building, white appearance and arched window detail carving, reflects the careful process of France and delicate.

So banks nor was loaded lover blue dreamy love embankment, messy old, let the heart health at sea.

Finally Steve showed swindlers pedicabs faces, on good price into a one-hour price, suddenly became a five times the price.

Reality is unacceptable.

This episode or affect our mood.

Finally decided to leave Saigon one day in advance.

In the morning, wake from dreams, heard the opposite Temple outgoing melodious chimes, whispering in acoustic pushed the night chant.

Standing on the balcony overlooking the city, how many, how much noise is romantic to calm. Skimming, actually do not have too much experience in Sai Kung, but the thought of leaving a footprint will only flow infinite memories in the mind with the passage of time, whether through a prosperous or fallen, whether it's found isMakoto or spoofing, everything is priceless.

Vietnam Airlines plane roared.

Goodbye Saigon!

We chose sapaco tourist, was originally because it has a direct train, the so-called non-stop Phnom Penh, does not change, saving two hours by car, you can EMAIL or telephone booking, they have a Web site, specific own on Google search. The result is not only change trains stop in Phnom Penh, 1 hour, 12 hour journey away! but still quite content with that condition is very good, seating comfort, guests, 22USD/person, check Cambodia VISA transit generation debt 24USD (there is no need for visas in the country ahead of time).

Our guide is a middle-aged man, Viet Nam, English is fluent, but unfortunately, with very heavy Viet Nam accent, we can only half-half understand, guess, Viet Nam, English penetration is very developed, I think, it is possible that a colonial influence, the second is the overseas visitors to Viet Nam's favor, even the Granny or kids can and your normal conversation, just their accent too serious,

After dinner, the boss and the girls also performed a local folk songs, the tone is very poignant, that did not, their wall of pairs is of Chinese characters, but there are few words do not know, even in the middle of the Hall is also the goddess Guanyin and our practices.

In Mae

River's second day, visit Viet Nam's largest water market, as well as farms orchards, head night we stayed in the city, I still did not understand what is the name of the small city, if not all of the text, it feels like to have a small town in the country,

First night, dinner to your own address, travel agents are not responsible for, we at roadside stands next to the hotel to eat a bowl of barbecued meals, delicious barbecued, unfortunately no pickles, choking me.

The town has a bar along the road, the town's largest leisure square, along the style of a coffee shop, unfortunately, the two of us to the next morning to know the news that the intestines have regrets, all night I and fangzi is across the road to the third floor of the Mall madness on underwear, also kept and don't understand English salesperson said: any discount? but a salesperson's service attitude, we try chaozan a piece after another, but also the language barrier, however, did not understand us. Praise one!

Entire cities are the color of the small house, like a fairy tale world, although worn, but also very cute.

As we support ship of Viet Nam Women, very handsome?

Fellow of several foreign friends, like a movie star, Oh

Boat just feed on the market, there is a boat to sell fruit, very active in incising mango let tourists to try and taste

Then listen to the cabin that we have come too late, the real market opening 6 point already, and our 8 points to this is the closing time of the others, looks like there are a number of travellers to experience the biggest water market prosperity, has early market action alone.

The so-called visit water trading market is the market where the River passing through it again, and we go too late, the base has a rest, do not feel the legend of the cargo on each vessel flirted scenes.

Heading out of the water market, our next stop---Mekong tributaries, farms orchards

Kindly man for frequent shuttle boats seem to have become commonplace, quietly at their homes are no longer being violated

Hejian covered with such a small bridge, often through, the guide will remind your head down

This small river is a tributary of the Mekong River, wind-break, just like a maze, who were fighting the invaders Viet Nam, in the River on the use of its unique geographical advantage played countless fantastic guerrilla warfare, beat the enemy, so far are the pride of Viet Nam, suddenly I remembered our Sha Jia bang, looks like the same workers vary according to the music.

Now the river has a vast expanse of Orchard

From the small river, pent heart will suddenly see the Mekong River is not always clear, muddy, always with floats, but also let you strongly feel the purity of the Mekong River, just as if you see a ragged child, her thoughts are pure.

My eyes is the case of the Mekong River!

Includes all can describe Viet Nam Women's words: hard-working, down-to-Earth, brave, good ...

Everything and beautiful are so closely linked

Boat stopped in an orchard, is also one of our trip, Orchard great attractions, in addition to the banana, looks like others I do not know, huh, huh, but do not dare to go in deep forests of orchards, but around the home, in the vicinity of banana trees go out again, here's a few little hut, simple tables and chairs for visitors to rest, with coffee, assorted beverages, fresh coconut

From the orchard, drive the boat number, visit the rice processing factories, surprised the wise person Viet Nam with plenty of wood and a small amount of metal parts made from this rice processing line, full automation, this is just a family workshop, boss very polite of the family of rice, sour onion are out to visit the visitor to taste, for tourists, the boss is happy, but also very personally take you visit his factory, incessant commentary by Viet Nam in English, in the noisy workshop, I simply do not understand, I am sorry to say, Oh, boss, huh, huh.

Borrowed here, charges under the toilet, vnd1000, equivalent to $ 0.5. Consumption and domestic counterparts

On the day of the trip a bit confusing, don't remember, but there are a few key is forced to make.

Lunch is at the head of the late night, trip of urban settlement in does not contain this meal expenses, the Guide took us to a nice restaurant, the decoration that taste good, here you can dine here, or to the periphery, but 2 points collection, as in the country have any travel agency recommended are slaughtered people experience, we'll be near to his own restaurant, and also the regiment fangzi another two Chinese girls, Chaozhou restaurant, the boss is Cantonese, speak Cantonese, English, Viet Nam, just don't understand Mandarin, depressed, we use a rigid Cantonese, mixed with English points out sin (it seems that Cantonese can't leave, I'll have a good practice, it can certainly mixed use), a soup, two fried vegetables, four fried rice, Hey, finally here eating into the authentic egg fried rice, really love the boss, meals, over 20 per capita rmb80, is my sister to the spa and the 11 days to eat the best one.

Afternoon trips into the arrangement is go local farmers market, to market the most attractive to our nature is the variety of fruit, since in order to save costs, but also the deceptively here fruit in the country is also very common, but these are great, we just bought a pineapple.

In fact, our lazy Sun, then see the fear of the back of the mix seems to be in the market to a lot of good books. The parlor on the roadside, we met the two Chinese Youban, they will enjoy much, get off and not go to see what farmers ' markets, direct to sit here and drink coffee. Viet Nam's drip coffee is characteristic of Viet Nam to Viet Nam coffee really waste to a trip, at the recommendation of the two sister, my sister also came and aromatic with a Cup, and praise one then describes HA. Oh, it was very exciting.

Coffee is the daily habits of Viet Nam, Viet Nam Cafe is not a nice, high consumption field

The General, and there's a few dollars. Viet Nam coffee drink method instead of the coffee pot to Cook, but a special kind of trickling filter coffee cup, the following use style old printing glass then drop a drop is used to spend a wonderful time. Do the following glass cup shelf drip glass, drip inside coffee powder, pressure on a piece of metal with holes, and then use hot water to BREW, let the coffee falls drop into the Cup. Pay attention to the point of doing when the cup of hot coffee in a fill water in large bowl insulation, because drops of a cup of coffee might take ten minutes will cool down the hot coffee. Some people like to add a layer underneath the cup very sweet and very sweet condensed milk, coffee drip into the glass and black coffee and white condensed milk mixed drink, sweet. If you want to drink ice, blend coffee poured in glass filled with ice. In November, the heat death of Viet Nam, drink a glass of iced coffee sensation with rapt to describe a little too much. Usually add condensed milk to pay 1000 guilders, ice is 1000. Want to see the coffee making process of Viet Nam, refer to: http://photo.163.com/photo/2005yydai/#m=1 & & p ai = 42196312 = 1 & & n = 60 cp = 1] http://photo.163.com/photo/2005yydai/#m=1 & & p ai = 42196312 = 1 & n = 60 cp = 1 &

Several members of the tour here and we are, and they want to go from here in Cambodia, Cambodia of interchange is landing check, select the Viet Nam, Cambodia tour together, is a good choice.

Although the Mekong river trip and only two-day trip, but also learned a lot of modes of transport, bus, ship, small ship, ferry, hiking ...

The ferry port is just in the road, hot hot air mixed with Brown dust, often people than car first came out, the Guide to all arrangements roadside rest one acquaintance, the so-called family home is a simple shelter, shed next bed, desk, bench, one older fans, bed also asleep a lovely child. But in RESTful really cool, we suddenly get a little crowded beaches full of shelter, the master did not feel we suddenly attacking him inconvenience, just a hint of a smile to greet everyone, it is moved.

Buses in rural highway driving, short House, large tracts of farmland, oblique inclined sunset, a car people drowsy.

The car in a souvenir shop and have a very pleasant environment, the Mall of souvenirs to work fine, price, time and again, we went scouring cheap. However, such a shopping environment that you are comfortable, staff were just when you need help, don't like the plain common market, in a non-a slaughter.

Coach cars Saigon suburb, you can see quite a few marginally less good commercial real estate, but, this is a start at least.

Saigon city, city of twinkle, just think to the colourful! n bending to get to the travel agency. The hotel prior to arrival to our boss has reserved the room, or original, very warm, it's like coming home.

The Mekong River in two days, not wonderful to describe, but it can almost be representative of Viet Nam, the Mekong, let each came here people want to go and enjoy the spacious and raging rivers.

Only you have experienced, it is your own

2006 spring offensive of Viet Nam

2006 spring offensive of Viet Nam

The King in the field

Since Spring Festival is coming, I believe that many friends will use long vacation to go see Viet Nam, in the hope that this passage could help us to do a Festival in Viet Nam travel lessons.

Spring in the Vietnamese Tet Nguyen Dan in is called, the "new year's day Festival", hereinafter referred to as Tet.

Tet originates from the Chinese word "section", refers to all festivals, but in Viet Nam especially Spring Festival.

Viet Nam also use zodiac sign, Zodiac and order, and basically the same, just put the rabbit with the cat, so in the coming year is the year of the dog.

Dog in Viet Nam has a symbol of the indomitable, a little of what we call "conveys the meaning of".

New year's first half year of the preparatory work for a month or so.

Lunar December 23 is the kitchen, stove, MD (Tao Quan) on this day back to heaven to the Jade Emperor debriefing, and degree of his annual leave, until the first month in 1845 came back to work. Every household is a wonderful offerings farewell comrade, hope you focus of his superior leadership there for the whole family gives you a good audit reports, which leads to the next year of good luck. Offerings in addition to widespread common fruits and flowers, with the characteristics of Viet Nam is paper Stork, paper, paper, plus a no pants of dress — this does not make sense of tradition in our China but not Hing: does the poor to even the trousers are when?

As the legend stoves you are sitting in the back-up days of carp, so this day throughout Viet Nam will release many carp, cooking of offerings in nature also inevitably a live carp.

As a family to protect God's Heavenly focal Jun back, in order to avoid the goblins, Viet Nam will at the door for vertical-flagpoles, top hung block huangbu, called Cau Neu.

It is said that this is the Buddha who specialized in order to protect the Viet Nam which spells, probably said "yellow flags, go emotionally." This reminds me of Bali in Indonesia villages have seen similar flag flags, coincidently, the Hindu to exorcise evil spirits.

We know that today's Southern Viet Nam in history is the Centre of the Champa Kingdom, Viet Nam and many customs was its impact.

Champa Kingdom is a Hindu country, from the regional centre of Hindu Kingdom there learned Java many nutrients; while the Hindu Bali is in Java, when Islam threat facing the Kingdom along a now Mey's Isthmus to the past. Then, Viet Nam's mythical flag flags and Bali's drive away are the flag flags have a common origin? who want to mix in 2006, a master's degree in East Asian studies, consider doing this.

Pulled far away, back to the topic.

This flag flags today only in Viet Nam has, in the country to see the city switched kumquat tree instead of flagpoles and yellow sect, is not very intuitive?

Viet Nam in the new year are paying attention to decorate your home.

In the North, peach (Canh Dao) is an indispensable during the Spring Festival, and poor families would buy a bunch of back; the Centre and South of the preference of yellow and apricot. Interestingly, they put this new year with apricot called Plum branches (Canh Mai), I guess this custom is subjected to the influence of Chinese culture: the plum blossom to decorate the winter. But the climate in Southern Viet Nam, moist, not suitable for the growth of plum blossom, with apricot flowers instead.

Viet Nam Street full of the new year, various flower adorned with flower, photography enthusiasts can produce many good films.

The flower market in Ho Chi Minh Nguyen Hue Street, from the central square along Tran Hung DAO Street (Tran Hung Dao) are Xiangdong walked a few blocks to see; Hanoi's flower market are located north of comb-line alley (Hang Luoc), South to dyeing silk alley (Hang Dao), East the drafting posts alley (Hang Chieu), West to Don t drift (Hang Ma) of the northern part of the old town, where you can see many heaped with peach or bundle with more strains of kumquat tree serves as a temporary booth motorcycle. In addition, the nearby market with spring (Dong Xuan) is rolled to make cool.

More that years ago, the more lively bazaars of Viet Nam, everybody is rushing to get holiday, new year's Eve evening even reached the climax of hyperinflation.

But to eat the reunion, streets suddenly unusual tranquility, just half an hour between the extremely strong contrast, couldn't help thinking of Ramadan Kaizhai hours in the Middle East.

Speaking of the reunion, Viet Nam people Festival eat?

The most important traditional food is the year of rice (Banh Chung).

These days to Viet Nam gourmet of Hue's friends will note: many roadside shops at the door to swing out of the stack of old high green "bricks", that is, the dumplings. It is actually a kind of style rice cake, similar to our approach: glutinous rice dumplings clip on steam cooked tunjian meat, mung, banana leaf outside into a rectangle, and then take thou lashed, bundled and sold. No wonder years ago the streets carrying years dumplings home Viet Nam looked as if someone is carrying a stack of bricks.

Legend symbol of Earth in rice: green indicates that all growth, pork and bean indicates that animals and plants.

The so-called sky, since the year in the North with square symbol of Earth, South dumplings just put it into a circle, but not filling, the symbol of heaven.

Another spring vegetable called Mang, is to shoot and pork in a "notorious" style fish sauce (Nuoc Mam) eat, foreigners may not be used to eat.

Speaking of which-fish sauce, and stinky tofu, Durian an order of magnitude of delicious Ah. Some people think it tastes too unpleasant. ..... Good thing is never to all people, not in the habit of not fortunate to enjoy only said.

Finished the year's Eve dinner.

Viet Nam people consider ancestors will go home to visit the new year at midnight, so about a week ago Viet Nam people will go to the first person, and by using them to return home reunion. Eve Viet Nam people would burn the sandalwood, then with a plate of pure white narcissus to meet the ancestors.

According to customs, the new year the first voice heard is important, it heralds the coming year's haul: barking said no to not

Lee, cattle call indicates hard toil, OWL call it means that there will be a funeral. In order to avoid hearing the ominous sound, but also in order to scare all braving the Viet Nam people simply own manufacturing some prosperous for live sound, such as gongs and drums or large firecrackers. Unfortunately, ten years ago the Government of Viet Nam have banned Fireworks, present trend is to use sound recorder, and even the combination of audio and video playback that sprawing, deafening sound of crackling pop out.

As with sound, new year's first guest is also very important, called the "Red House".

Career, sons and daughters of the crowds of middle-aged man's most popular; single middle-aged people, has recently died at home or other last year suffered varying degrees of Doom is unpopular — these people had better stay at home for the entire spring door thinking too, don't go out and spread of bad luck. If you received an invitation in the lunar new year's day to Viet Nam House guest, the host typically explain visit time. Don't go in advance, otherwise the case than master "reservation" of the first guests early is in trouble. Some cautious and prudent owner will even turn themselves in the middle of the door and then come in and become the first "guest" to prevent the unexpected or visit the "disastrous mistake."

Viet Nam had the new year is called "travel" (Xuat Hanh), according to the Customs to please the "professionals" with the word's eight to travel, meet exchange greetings "chuc mung nam moi".

Lasses you like going to the Woods picked branches with leaves, known as the "green harvest", is considered a very auspicious sign. Why? in Vietnamese, "green", "Lu" (loc).

With the Chinese lunar new year's day, in Viet Nam were many taboos, such as cannot mend clothes, no swearing his temper, cannot sweep — this is not the same with China, not break things — it seems that Viet Nam people do not speak about a "broken pieces of peace".

On this day the elders will give kids party red envelope that contained the "profit" (li xi). ' Ink ' will be held in the "sweep open pen" ceremony, and then write some VT poetry to show good taste.

Popular in Southern Viet Nam in the new year's Unicorn.

It looks like the Chinese lion dance, performed by various people dress up early one morning, went from door to door thanks to the door saying that lucky. Figure a good lucky words of merchants who already have a red envelope sealed or prepare a color, but want to take it out of the need for explicit points ability: Master often color from high in the doorway, Unicorn have people stand up, at the onlookers cheers the color of a swallow.

New Viet Nam each household must be written in the new year.

As more and more popularity of the Latin text, the character of the new year, the trend now is to use the brush strokes of Chinese calligraphy to write Latin alphabet. A year ago, provides the services of painting and calligraphy store business particularly good, in Ho Chi Minh City can see many such shops, shop displayed in the new year, new year's wide range of printed materials.

Viet Nam statutory Spring Festival holiday is three days, the big three families and bid farewell to their ancestors; thirty is "open-case" day, government departments to start work; come back to work in 1845 foci Jun, households in front of the flag flags or kumquat tree to this day to away, it also means that the Spring Festival celebration came to an end.

However, in the North, diverse and new year's celebration has always been concerned to continue until March until summer.

Because of the Viet Nam national land strip like the geographical span pole, the South and customs vary greatly, if during the Spring Festival to Viet Nam travel words should try to go around learning about different festivals and customs, such as in the South of Ho Chi Minh City is the first station, watch how the preparations for the new year the people of South Vietnam, or you can visit the largest Chinatown — Bank (Cholon), where the Chinese accounted for about 80% of the local population; then in the middle of the ancient capital of hue to spend new year's Eve, new year's day; then went to Hanoi surrounding enjoying years celebrations, such as thirty-six of the temple with the odd game gun, 13 to 15 of soul song competition and lasted two temple fair, the fragrance will trace the temples, and so on; the more the last pass through the mountains in the North or from Pingxiang, Guangxi, Yunnan estuary, feel the atmosphere of the Spring Festival of the motherland.

Of course, the year before and after the traffic may not be convenient, so early bookings.

If you are lazy, unwilling to travel long distances, it may wish to stay comfortably in the Centre of Hoi an instant full-new year holidays.

As one of UNESCO world cultural heritage of Hoi an ancient town in five hundred years ago, but the special economic zone, Viet Nam has accepted to Chinese-based merchants from around the world, is the globalization of trade, the earliest one of facilitator. Here's a very rich Chinese cultural atmosphere, coupled with the North Sea Yunshan brings cold damp cold frontal cover, the hoi an warm and dry, very suitable idly sitting in autumn basin River brews a cup of strong coffee in the Sun of Viet Nam slip.

A final tip: Halong Bay in the northern part of the season more clouds, visibility poor, coupled with the doomed with noisy noisy mission, we advise you not to go along for the ride.

* Explanation of the problem: the more familiar with the history of the friends I know CPV in the spring of 1968.

Although it is tactical fiasco, strategic it became a turning point in the Vietnam war. In the three weeks of fighting, the ancient capital of hue into rubble field, a blossoming throughout the country. Both to the arrival of the new year!, Christmas joy forever is the blessing of the topic. Not only blessing compatriots the CityGuide, also as a blessing and simple friendly Viet Nam people!

Annan line note (1)

Back from Viet Nam, but two years there has been no time to slow down, quiet well write something, you always feel lack of them.

Two days ago because the body's small scrub give me a reasonable sickness leave, this would have the time, with reasons, there is a careful review of all the rows in my Annan, for all the memory in this country are also naturally been gradually recalled, living across the mind, is charged at a computer screen.

For Viet Nam, the original source and that self-defence, the ate China relief food fight Chinese socialist countries, and because of this war is the author of many literary and artistic works.

I was impressed when I saw the movie "the mountain of Garland and the elegance of the blood, also has the first well-known songs describing the many years of patriotic fervor. But he understanding actually I knew nothing. A few years ago, an acquaintance soon girls send me a book this Annie — the Rose Island ", describes the author travels Viet Nam and Cambodia and psychological experience. She was confused, invited me to go by then my understanding of the Viet Nam do this anyway. Then she went away from mainland China, Taiwan, a bride.

The story seemed to have no end, I still feel puzzled by that attracts, suddenly the idea grew strongly, and finally one day I saw a Viet Nam tourism English reference books in the Lonely Planet – Vietnam — a Australia devoted to the world of self-help and travel press.

Which Viet Nam's eat and drink, play, and music for a more detailed introduction, is a very good buffet line reference books, just book price crazy expensive, not to buy, but in reading rooms, and gradually have a rational understanding. Until then to see the Chinese geographical magazine, no. 501 period covers the four fresh words "good morning Viet Nam". All repressed, sunk, the grounds for refusal are no longer important, I have only one thought — to Viet Nam.

Some say that Viet Nam's history can be summarized into four words: war + for a living.

Now that war has become the memory, Viet Nam is rising from the ruins. This is 3260 km coastline, are open to the entire world: her fertile land and abundant resources, hard-working people, the future is famous for its tenacity Viet Nam will make the world sit up and take note. — Excerpted from "total geographical magazine, 501-table of contents

In Siem Reap Siem Reap live Popular Guest House's 5 o'clock the next day, get up early to go to the lobby and Tuktuk Angkor AngkorWat at sunrise, Phnom Penh found in Phnom Penh to Siem Reap in Beijing with the car a bit and just live with her sister in a Popular Guest House, with a few words, when she knows I'm a long distance trip, said I was "lonely Traveler", think of backpackers of the Bible-the Lonely Planet Lonely Planet and ourselves for so many years of a human footprint, with a smile.

Hue Hue to Hoi an Hoi's journey was United States National Geographic magazine; one of the world's 50 most beautiful scenery, feeling a little exaggerated, deeply suspect the plot of the Vietnam war, passing one of Japan's aid, a long tunnel, 10 km 8 minutes.

Unfortunately, China's great power status, in Southeast Asia of too small and far from our imagination. Many cultural attractions are the cultural products in China, traditional Chinese inscriptions, sculptures, etc., but the attractions are in English, Japanese, and so on, is not Chinese, wringing their hands over sigh. Imperial City of hue has a rich Chinese architectural elements, and the rest of Cambodia, Thailand, Laos 3 State of the palace-style, 3-State style similar to the minimum, of course, Laos, poor, national power limited.

With three pockets of PC is, unfortunately, South-East Asia are 2 socket, and later in Nha Nha Trang bought a conversion plug, well before preparations do not Oh, there are umbrellas, which were brought, and later on the Internet at said now is the rainy season, no belt, on a train, in Hanoi, rain continues, Viet Nam has bought cloaks, raincoat, later bought an umbrella, open, China town, heshan production, huh, huh, small waste, condemning himself, Hanoi, Hanoi, Hoan Kiem Kiem Lake is very impressive, it seems as if the Chinese town of small spots, BA Ba Dinh Square Plaza Pavilion is a smaller version of the Tiananmen Square, forbidden city, not to mention piracy of hue of the Imperial City, Ho Chi Minh Ho Chi Minh's reputation in the Red Church, the same style of the Church looks no 09 Christmas Eve in Guangzhou by the end of the stone room Cathedral, however large post office next to century look good.

In Viet Nam see N lots of Chinese previous residence, including similar Hoi an ancestral temple of Zhaoqing Hall, etc., a little know why often marginalized ethnic Chinese in Southeast Asia, from Chinese local architectural point of view, the more publicity, but the Chinese are essentially and locals intermarriage, look down on people, many Chinese to Southeast Asia, often in domestic mixed, impoverished Avishai, due diligence may operate, soon a local wealthy locals heart imbalances is normal, and now the poor out of the country, can emigration are mixed well at home and lordliness wealth.

Phnom Penh, although in the country have long watched N number of Daren Raiders, too early to forgo that Chinese Passport Office in Phnom Penh, Thrifty travel Thailand Visa World book also said no, but I still want to try, it is not just intended to direct from Angkor to Laos, from Ho Chi Minh to Phnom Penh after 4 p.m., the car, from the Capitol guest house took a map called a MOTO linefor Thailand Embassy entrance security asks me for visas, the results of security to a photograph and 20 dollars, easily told me the next day at 4 p.m. for the fix.

The second day I went back in the Embassy visa Hall see processing procedure is applied for, on the morning of the following afternoon, there is still free, my analysis, since a lot of people say here Chinese passport cannot do, it must have been going official channels do not run, and the door security and Embassy officials should have colluded, extremely fast, and are able to do, because I see Security hands have N number of passport waiting to do, all countries have the, I got my visa, costs a bar or 0, the time to do a three-month period of 90 days, the unspoken rules are available in all countries, without exception.

Angkor, nervous, pack a Tuktuk, 1 day or you can run out, but a little test of stamina, Lady is not recommended.

Look at the Angkor temples, are some stone ruins, will some aesthetic fatigue, noon at Angkor through Empire city, PA AngkorThom Rong Temple of Bayon Buddha under the food and gear, drink some Angkor brand ice beer should love the occasional or very good.

In Cambodia, by the way, is the largest tourist Capitol Tour, in Viet Nam is riding the biggest sinh cafe's open bus, 2 are very natural in Phnom Penh on Capitol Tour of Capitol guest house link until the Capitol Tour of sending people to Bangkok Bangkok Khao San Road, examination of the Road.

In Vientiane Hotel Vientiane didn't let himself go, booking North bus station bought to Luang Prabang Luang Prabang's express Express Bus ticket, 9.5 million kips, on the road of the great mountain, go for a day, Lao's mountain village in the lot on each side of the road, mountain soil thickness, can be grown. In Luang Prabang tickets are directly to the station to buy, to Kunming fare better than online presentation rose, now 42 million kips, 24 hours a day.

Bangkok: experience a Mecca for backpackers, also on the road, there is General, but the street lot of perjury, and the domestic counterparts in different, operate in this way is open for business, more photos on N/name of the sample, is Europe's documents, did not see China.

In the Royal Palace is just Grang meet our domestic a bigman, didn't recognize faces, but before and after several like matrix, dressing bodyguard and the Thai side uniformed caution and escorts can be seen, and there is a temple to its open, I can not, such as our privileges and can extend to

Abroad, huh, huh. Thailand is a strange country, is somewhat similar to U.A.E. as in local, traditional religions and Westernization of life. Bangkok is probably the most Westernized urban Southeast Asia, but the city was also decorated with traditional religious atmosphere, a rich body of miscellaneous health Goblin. Siam's bustling business district and the bustling big cities in China, including commercial price, huh, huh.

Evening ride from Bangkok to Nongkhai Nongkhai train, 2nd class sleeper, 688B, 600 km, almost all carriage is Europe, backpackers, if not see Steward, almost thought it was in Europe and in the train, the train was broken, but the sleeper comfortable wide, bedding are spot clean bedding of Kaifeng, and large domestic.

Approximately US $ 21, Viet Nam from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh sinh cafe's open bus, 56 million guilders. Ho Chi Minh-Phnom Penh's Capitol Tour, 19.5 million guilders, about 6-7 hours, $ 10. Phnom Penh to Siem Reap's Capitol Tour6 hours, $ 4.5 to Siem Reap, Angkor Tour of the Capitol, 10 hours, $ 8.

As far as I can compete with elementary students ' English language proficiency was one line to eat, live, row, all without problems, couldn't help myself some admire, Hei Hei, in Bangkok, there is no in-map, depends on a few simple English names, I from Hualamphong station South Punta subway MTR, light rail, foot SUB N long, has safely found the legendary field of incense near Siam Buddha, a small courtyard, incense and really good to say.

It seems that English poor little problems without going abroad also, think about Europe and the United States there are backpackers in said minor languages, not all are fluent in English, the key is to dare to do it. Many of the 20-year-old boy was left out around yourself, in Siem Reap's Popular Guest House registration, see my previous registration information, is one of Sweden's 19-year-old a man and a man, sorry should as early as ten years out go go much better.

Chinese tourists, the most in Angkor, waves, Lance short gun, better equipped than foreigners, may be the Chinese really rich, but why do I feel? Oh, and I was a bit far away, in Hanoi together when a train on mother and daughter, daughter is high school students to take the examination, the allocation to Hanoi, Minnan, intellectual family, is talkative, from the station to Hanoi, drizzle, together with the Pakistan Pavilion Plaza first meal and drink coffee, pretty good, mother and daughter went on for a month and a half hours of Southeast Asia, to let his daughter and States of backpackers practise speaking, going to school abroad.

In Hanoi's car ran into five in Hanoi of Chinese students studying in Hanoi, Viet, feel they are a waste of time, remembered in Nanning to Hanoi by train to see 2 Ho Chi Minh's little girl studying in Nanning, learn Chinese medical, she said, she said that the Chinese school, a graduate of the comparison should look like, we went to Viet Nam's students, not comparable. The five international students is a holiday to Dalat, Dalat play in STA. on the hue and they parted, where life can be, not reunite! in Hoi an also ran across them, have fun, talk for half a day. There is also a pair of Beijing MM, sit from Hoi an to the NHA's sinh cafe car, NHA Beach, on the third day I woke from Ho Chi Minh travel to Phnom Penh car, and when they are happy, they had just returned from NHA sit overnight train to Ho Chi Minh, this is the journey.

Vientiane: after the Gallery start-up formalities or take a small train, only III, 20B, through friendship bridge, my cell phone signal was clear and unambiguous display friendship bridge, Thailand's AIG GSM service is really good, but I still haven't opened, huh, huh.

Immigration procedures quickly, Chinese passport 20 dollars, well, accompanied by European and American backpackers, is $ 30.

Vientiane eat live line, AZ visitor passes both large and cool, the city is very general, Mekong River Mekong edge backpackers clustered in a busy section, dusty, Riverbed construction of locomotive from constantly, but night out wandering feel good, at noon in the closest big dining by the River, on a meal was more count me in 2 times, old Dong golden eye, each time to point out, Rao, pay the Bill when it feels like a sucker, plus just arrived in Vientiane in station diagonally opposite one looks very formal HK Exchange store to change money, go out very far in the future discovered little give me more than 8 million, they immediately return all sorts of not saying to me, at Internet cafes with their own computer Internet access and multiple count me in, it seems that here on foreign tourists have the traditional, don't believe the so-called Lao yearend that come back will be accompanied by a young couple of Sichuan was feeling, they also lost my cell phone in Laos, MM is discontented people on the Internet say how good of Laos, she jokes do they collect the money? I had planned to stay in Luang Prabang, trance, a few days in advance go well, HA HA.

Vientiane and Luang Prabang live in Mekong river shore, Vientiane Hotel window is on the Mekong River, in the room at the sunset of the Mekong River King to is good, Luang Prabang is a small town of mixed blood, suitable for trance, however long homestays, preparation of money more.

In Vientiane to watch Chinese Phoenix TV, CCTV1, Chinese Taiwan, but looking at 19 points when news of CCTV1 still feel puzzled, this is the overseas? actually way in Viet Nam, Cambodia see domestic television, say our party in the South-East Asia is a slight effect, OhOh. In Southeast Asia just to feel fresh, a long time, a little tired, as if at home not developed provinces around, but couldn't understand the dialect.

Diet, Viet Nam's coffee really good, tasty and well beyond China, to read a lot before reaching people travel all praise, indeed.

Southeast Asian snack more, but as a staple food, it is far better than we, in China, even if their characteristic barbecue, and Xinjiang is a far cry from the barbecue, including famous outside Lao lang braban Mekong fish, in fact, so far I haven't been in that place had better BBQ, whether grilled fish or meat, although in Xinjiang spent several years did not play on the Uygur culture identity, perhaps in the future have the opportunity to go to Central Asia or the Middle East can try Uygur fellow technical level, other, Southeast of French long bread and Lao bamboo rice is also good.

In Southeast China commodity means zhicijia low, the street almost all Toyota, Honda motorcycle.

Especially in Cambodia, Laos, the two poor, auto means that Toyota, which in Phnom Penh, Toyota's car is really much, especially Toyota's Lexus SUV, Lao is all Toyota pickup, in fact quite practical Pica, several affordable car cross-country cargo, but the domestic epidemic does not open, aesthetic problem. Feeling Toyota can in Southeast Asia country, huh, huh.

Travel stories, in Hoi an to a trip to a local hospital, he walked accidentally hit by motorcycle, hand-rubbed on the skin, afraid of tetanus points, for security reasons, went to the hospital, all the way to ask this Hospital Road and trot to a local hospital, the yard is large, the Chinese mainland County Hospital and rural hospital, is the old building, very quiet, in a medical room, doctor's older sister gave me a bit careful handling, when her daughter's elementary school in front of homework, and gave some topical medication, price only 3.5 million guilders, RMB 10 million more than the domestic price of attitude or a lot, very grateful for this unknown older sister.

In Ho Chi Minh-Phnom Penh's car, with a bit of Cambodia buddies, 78-year-old, who claimed to be Phnom Penh, College teacher, he was taught chemistry, anyway what look like our domestic University teacher, said his father, father's father is a teacher, took out his passport, a motorcycle licence, car license let me see, we exchange these similar cards, and other documents. Also he kept by pointing to my cell phone says radio, I say you must use a headset to use AH, he took his mobile phone to find out, didn't know he was video, this guy is full of mobile phone movies is very proud to share it with me, to be honest, old dong in domestic has had enough of these, you did nothing but make me copy, I said that my memory card is full, no copy, huh, huh.

Laos, Cambodia, Thailand 3 countries feel from everyday life, Temple, religion, look a bit homogeneity, and quite different from Viet Nam, Viet Nam and temples like China home temple, and China is a bit homogeneity.

Overall, the countries of Southeast Asia generally poor people, and our State and the poor are completely different, maybe people might not be the absolute income, we will not, huh, huh, but life's happiness index but much higher than the US, more leisure, contented, the Government and the various play all civilians, do not affect each other.
