Dawn at the Ly Thai To square in central Ha Noi

This section seeks to offer a more in-depth introduction to Vietnam than you can glean from most guide books. It consists of a series of short pieces on life here among the Viet people. Some of these are longer with a number of pictures while others are short and may have no illustrations. Maybe we can show you something of aspects of life that you would like to explore yourself, and maybe we can warn you of parts you may wish to avoid! Either way we hope this material helps you understand life in Vietnam a little better as well as assisting you in your plans.
