About this title

Synopsis:

Lifting the veil on the "closed culture" of Vietnam since the war, this guide covers a variety of aspects of this newly emerging economy of the Far East. It includes: people and history; legends and beliefs; festivals; food and drink; business tips; social situations; and useful words and phrases. The regeneration of the country and the economy - the "20 year recovery" - since the Vietnam War is being hailed as an astonishing feat by the international community, and as a result is attracting an enormous amount of interest from multinational companies as well as the worldwide travel trade. Vietnam, according to the author, is a country built on fierce national pride, but today is demonstrating a new openness to foreign ideas and relationships with the outside world. The Vietnamese people are both charming and hospitable and show little inclination for resentment over the past. This guide should be useful for all visitors to Vietnam, whether the reason for the visit is business or pleasure
