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.
