Vietnam has a rich history of art, architecture, ceramics, hand-woven fabrics, magnificently crafted jewelry, antiquities, and breathtaking scenery. From the cool of the mountains and terraced rice paddies to the steaming hot Mekong; from the hill-tribes to exotic Ha Long Bay dotted with limestone pillars and islands; from the sub-tropical center to bustling Ho Chi Minh City; and the colorful fishing villages of Mui Ne; Vietnam is an interesting dichotomy between enduring communist beliefs and a thriving, entrepreneurial, capitalistic society. Join me on a journey across a country where I so often had the feeling that I had landed in the midst of a living, breathing painting. Author’s Note: The Sights Uncovered series are travelogues of my personal travels and adventures. They are not intended to be comprehensive guidebooks of the countries that I visit. It is my goal to take you, the reader, with me on my journey and make the sights that we uncover come alive. To let you feel the pulse, the rhythms, and the colors; and to meet the people.
