Vietnam

I haven't spend more than five days in Vietnam and really not seen a lot, yet I'm sure about one point: it's the most beautiful country in the world. Leave behind many of its cities and the crazy traffic... beyond that Vietnam means breathtaking landscape, almost unreal colors, pure and good-natured energy of its people... I can't explain it any better...

I actually don't really know where to continue. I arrived more or less in the middle of this long-stretched country, and there's simply way too much to see and to experience for three or four weeks. I have to concentrate either on the south and its beaches, the Mekong delta with the lush green of the rice paddies and palm trees... or the mountainous north, Halong Bay and Hanoi with the old "French" quarter...
The statement above might seem a bit strange after my experiences in the first days, in the first cities... well, I don't mind having hit some bad moments first: after that you can even better enjoy the vast rest of a country that's overwhelming in every aspect...
