Beautiful Country with Amazing Food

Is how I describe my experience in Vietnam. This page is a collage of my favorite pictures from Vietnam because that is how I mainly captured my experience in this historical and exhilarating place. 9 days did not do it justice, but I definitely took advantage of every minute. I started in Saigon (aka Ho Chi Minh City), visited the Cuchi Tunnels, flew into Hue and took a bus to Hoi An (my favorite town in all of Southeast East), then I took an eight hour bus ride to Hanoi where we enjoyed such ancient and lively city, soon headed to Ha Long Bay (a spectacular tourist trap) for 3 days, and ended back in Hanoi. I could see myself living in Vietnam one day, so I'll be back! <3

The Dove is such an important symbol in Vietnam because it represents peace. When countries began to take a stand and stand up against the U.S during the Vietnam war this symbol was used to spread the global support for Vietnam.
