GOOD MORNING VIETNAM!







….and also the time to say the last GOOD MORNING VIETNAM has arrived…

I have spent a fantastic time exploring this beautiful country, tasting the fantastic food, drinking the local Saigon beer, spending their local Dong like a millionaire, doing trekking in mountains at the North, sailing in Halong Bay… sleeping by local houses and visiting poor villages with smiling people, sleeping in overnight trains to reach the South, running at sunrise
everywhere, flying to the vibrating Ho Chi Minh and by boat crossing the Mekong Delta.

It is hard to say what I liked most! I have met so many different people and saw so many different places that making a top list would be hard, but for sure I will always remember the friendship of the Vietnamese, their smiles and their intense brown eyes and black shiny hair.

Ho Chi Minh city is a vibrating city full of traffic, motor bikes and light all night long, where you spend your night with other travelers in a local bar by the street just talking and drinking beers and shots of rice wine and laughing while commenting all the people that come to you trying to sell every kind of stuff…
Mekong Delta is one of the best experience ever, you do have to jump on a boat and visit the local and original floating market full pf colors and life and under a burning sun only at 7 in the morning… or visiting a fisherman village or a local rice industry. The life in the Mekong is so fantastic is its poorness that I couldn’t stop taking pictures to people, kids having a bath in that brown water, to the houses made of ….nothing… but they always seem very happy!

Only thing to do… no rush, no stress, enjoy their patience and length of services and bad English, and for sure you will have a fantastic experience and a lots good remembers and a thousands of pictures as me!
