| "Vietnam, a country made famous by a war, has a unique and rich civilisation, |
| spectacular scenery and highly cultured, friendly people. While no doubt |
| the war continues to weigh heavily on the consciousnes of all who can remember |
| the fighting, the Vietnam of today is a country at peace." |
| "Of the 30 or so countries I have been to, Vietnam is easily the most beautiful. |
| I saw more shade of green then I knew existed. Rice fields manually tended |
| from dawn to dusk were always in view as were forest covered mountains. |
| I also frequently caught glimpses of pristine deserted beaches from the train window |
| as we made our way along the coast..". |
