the position, geographical features, and relationship of Hoang Sa to Dang
Trong (Inner Half an area of Vietnamese southward expansion in the past).
However, most of these maps still included Hoang Sa in the Indies or East
Indies.

sovereignty did Western maps officially recognize Hoang Sa as belonging to

Vietnam village landscape
The bamboo hedge, in some cases reinforced by an earth embankment and a moat, turns the small rural community into a green islet in the middle of a sea of rice fields. It protects the villagers against bandits as well as typhoons, and supplies materials for the repair or construction of temples, bridges, markets and other public works. It usually has four gates (north, south, east, west), sometimes fewer, which are closed at nightfall by guards. Before the main en trance, banian or ceiba trees cast refreshing shade where farmers returning from the fields or travellers can rest while drinking a cup of tea at a stall nestled among them.

That Khe, land of seven springs

The Dzao were wasting away from opium smoking, but the Tay were rather prosperous from the products of hunting and gathering, foodcrop growing, and poultry raising.

Wading in the streets of Hanoi
At the turn of the century the French colonial administration in its plans of urbanization had in mind a Hanoi of about 100.000 inhabitants. By now the figure has gone beyond the million mark. Thirty years of war have played havoc with the sewer system, to say nothing of its aging. Along the centuries, the Red River, changing its course several times, had left here and there in the city a myriad ponds and lakes of various sizes which serve as natural outfalls for rain water. Because of the population explosion, aggravated by land speculation, those natural overflows have shrunk. As a result, for some years now, Hanoi streets are submerged after each prolonged downpour.
Autumn in Hanoi
The approach of autumn in Hanoi is heralded toward late August by mild
weather and gusts of a dry and cool wind called gi heo may. The landscape,
less gorgeous than in Europe, assumes a discreet charm , particularly in
September and October: clear and transparent blue sky , blond light, lotus
dying in the ponds , morning mist blurring the shapes of weeping willows on
the banks of the Lake of the Restored Sword. The trees generally keep their
greenness although a few dead leaves flutter to the ground.
Drips of Autumn Rain is the title of a musical work by the young composer
ang The Phong, who died prematurely of consumption. Its notes and lyrics
sang in the hearts whole generation, even in the depth of jungles during the
First Indochina War.

Vietnam on the mandarin road
The stretch across Mount Trong was infernal torture. The travellers had to chop their way through the bush while their feet , despite the protection of thick rush sandals,bled from cuts caused by knife-sharp rocks. At night the two students and their servants would sleep in hammocks strung between the branches of a big tree It was so dark. The night would be shattered by the hooting of owls, the chattering of monkeys and the roaring of tigers. A cold wind would bring with it whiffs of some fetid odour. In his fever-troubled sleep.
Cham island in Hoi An
About the ships to the island - you have to go to Hoi An and ask for directions to the Bach Dang pier (people also call this market pier Cu Lao Cham). There are two kinds of ships Cu Lao Cham as vessels freeway Greenlines and market ones (timber ships). There is also smaller speedboat that goes faster (only takes about 25 minutes). If one likes to feel strong and want to save time, buy train tickets from travel companies.

Package tours to Vietnam
One of the biggest challenges anyone looking to visit any single country is finding enough spots to visit or things to do. This might not seem like that big of a problem while you're planning your visit. However, once you start traveling in any one country, you may quickly find yourself having little to do or visit after you've visited the country's 'main attraction.' This might seem weird as you read this but you can easily burn out when you're traveling in a country and its main attractions look too similar or feel to similar to each other...
Cu Chi tunnels, underground maze
The Cu Chi tunnels are located fairly close to the heart of the American-sponsored South Vietnamese government. This fact alone highlights the amount of danger the Vietnamese faced when they built these tunnels. Mostly done under cover of night, a lot of tunnel sections faced constant bombardment and attacks from the Americans and the South Vietnamese government. Regardless of how much pressure the Viet Cong faced, the tunnels were constructed and they did their job-hiding rebel troops, moving rebels around, and storing much-needed munitions and supplies to keep the guerrilla war in South Vietnam...
Hue of Vietnam
Vietnam has been at war for thousand and thousand of years. They have been ruled by France, China and been at battle with many others for years. It wasnt until 1975 that the country finally experineced Peace. The Vietnamese have always wanted independence but someone always wanted to rule the country for its riches. So the only way to be free was to fight. ANd let me tell you something. The Vietnamese are probably the strongest fighters ever. They kicked everyones assess. ANd not with bombs but with smarts. The guerillas used incredible tactics to overpower their enenemies even though they possessed far more powerful weapons...
Sai Gon to Hanoi
After breakfast we visited the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. HCM is affectionately known as Uncle Ho here and is greatly revered. The queues to go and see his embalmed body are enormous and it is a place of pilgrimage for all Vietnamese. He is seen as the liberator of the Vietnamese from the French and Americans. It is bizarre seeing his body, it was all a bit Madame Tussauds for me. A not to be missed event in Hanoi but perhaps a once in a lifetime experience! I found the museum dedicated to his life and works far more interesting...
Vietnam mix feelings
The rest of the day, to me, felt stressful - because of the heat and
humidity, but mainly because of the presence and the noise of the
motorbikes. One place set, right in the middle of the madness, somehow
managed to block the noise out and give the impression you were almost
somewhere out in the countryside. The beautiful, 11th century Temple of
Literature (5,000d) is Vietnam's historical centre of learning and principal
Confucian sanctuary.
