Here's one website that have some information about vietnam:
1)HANOI
http://www.vietnam.com/travel/1/Hanoi
Since vietnam was once colonized by the French, i think it would be a bit interesting if we can take a look at some of their history stuffs if you guys don't mind! =)
In fact everything described under" Things to see in Hanoi" looks so interesting to me~! If we have the time i dun mind visiting all those places they mentioned there, especially 'The Old Quarter', 'French colonial architecture', 'Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum'.
2)Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)

Just looking at the first picture is so mesmerising! i love the colours of the structures! haha, ok, enough of getting personal. Anyway, scroll to the bottom of the weblink, don't you guys think the last picture, which is the place Mui Ne tempting to explore into? Provided it'll be a good weather if we wants to visit :)
Everything that i see on the website i wishes to visit, including 3) Halong Bay! but can anyone tell me if need to have internal flight to all these places? hehe.
Language they speak:
As mentioned from the website,
"Since the Vietnamese language has six different tones, it is difficult for most foreigners to speak, despite the fact that the Roman alphabet is used in modern Vietnamese. The same word can have six different meanings depending on the tone used to pronounce it. In the cities and larger towns, English is becoming popular and is now spoken by many younger people while some of the older generation still speak fluent French. Russian and Chinese are also spoken by some people."
An advice from my sister, think we should prepare paper and pens. haha! in case they don't understand a single thing, we can fall back on drawing it to them.
I'm so into searching all the stuffs now! Hope to see you guys comments soon :)

the pictures on the sites are indeed attractive. haha ...
ReplyDeletei dun mind looking a bit of the artistic and historical stuff but i'm more inclined to look at their culture and way of life now, if we could get deep enough like a reporter, perhaps into their houses or something? haha ...
nono! we dun need internal flight for Halong Bay from Hanoi. Neither for Mui Ne from Ho Chi Minh. I think each is around 2hour ride or so from the respective city. :) according to jieyang and my fren, each of these can easily be made as a day trip. in fact Mui Ne could be a half day trip or combined with another destination nearby to form a day trip. :)
hahah .. the language thing is interesting & yes!, each of us will carry a drawing block with us! hahahaha ... i think it's a very helpful advice! thinking-traveller indeed! thanks sishansis hhahaha ...
jiayou with your research momentum! :) let's see what i have ...
