I visited Vietnam this past
December (2001) with 3 other ALTs, Daniel, Sharon, and Sinead. We had never
really travelled together before and amazingly enough, we all made it through
(relatively) unscathed, and got to know each other a lot better.
A few warnings, harsh words exchanged, nothing too serious.
We spent
our first few days in and around Ho Chi Minh City(HCMC). I believe our
first day in HCMC was spent searching our lp for things that were not closed
for 'siesta' by the time we finally emerged from our hotel. We did
manage to check out a few markets, musuems, and pagodas.
