The most significant thing :
The cultural shock which is their living style.
the chaotic life.
traffic was all around the city without any proper arrangement yet less traffic jam and accident happen
History you have to know:
Vietnam
a variation of Southern Viet which originated from a word Bach Viet
(people who lived at southern China in ancient times).
Vietnam was unified under communist government and Ho Chi Minh become prime minister and president of the country at year 1945 and subsequently his name was adopted as the head quarter of the country.
Hanoi, second largest city in Vietnam which located at river bank of Red River.
Commonly described as the Asean Venice due to the famous Halong Bay.
Thing you have to know :
the currency exchange during June 2013:
1 USD = RM3.30
1 USD = 2100 Don
