VIETNAM KALEIDOSCOPE

Think "Vietnam" and images of American G.I.s, landmines, napalm and Agent Orange spring to mind. The truth about the Vietnam of the new millennium is quite different.

Today, Vietnam is a nation trading on its turbulent history to bring in tourists. A trickle of travelers has spread the word and more and more people are discovering Vietnam for themselves.

I realized I was visiting a special place when I sat down to write my first postcard. The usual touristy adjectives like "amazing", "beautiful" and "spectacular" just didn't seem to cut it in Vietnam.

Vietnam in 2000 promises a kaleidoscope of unique and magical experiences.

What is more, Vietnam offers one of the most hassle-free and affordable holidays in South-East Asia.
