Vocational Training In Vietnam
Vietnam is a nice and peaceful country located in the South East of Asia. Believe it or not, you are given the chance to fire and AK 47. Or can choose your automatic weapon of choice and for the cost of $1 a round you can feel the power of these destructive weapons by firing them at the shooting range completing your Vietnam war tour.
If you haven't tried a homestay before, I would recommend finding a good Vietnam tour company to assist you. A two hour flight from Saigon to Hanoi is about $100.00. Thich Nhat Hanh, the rock star of Buddhist monks who was living in exile in France for many years, recently returned to tour Vietnam with an entourage of over 300 monks.
Hanoi is the second-largest city in Vietnam and offers a spectacular fusion of eastern and western cultures, due to the French and Chinese influences from past occupations. An unforgettable cultural tour of the city includes a visit to several Chinese Markets as well as the magnificent Thien Hau pagoda.
Vietnam's largest city is Ho Chi Minh City (population 5.0 million) and Hanoi (population of 3.5 million) followed by Nai, Haiphong and Dac Lac. My guide, Ti Ti (meaning "Small" in Vietnamese) provided me with a great tour that day as I watched the scenery go by from the back of his motorbike.
They are just some of the strange mix of elements in the spectacular Cao Dai Temple one hundred kilometres northwest of Ho Chi Min City in Tay Ninh province close to the Cambodian border. Visiting the Hue Citadel is a must do activity if you're in Hue, also having lunch at a monastery is a great way to experience the culture and enjoy a unique tasty meal.
The manufacturing sector contributed towards 40.1% of Vietnam's GDP in 2004 while the service sector contributed 38.2%. The agriculture sector contributed towards 38.7% of the country's GDP in 1990 but declined to 21.8% by 2004. Foreigners and Vietnamese nationals bearing foreign passports will be granted Vietnam Visa exemption with the following conditions.
Before leaving, visitors can wander the rest of the Cao Dai complex that includes beautiful gardens, administrative buildings, residences of adepts and a hospital for traditional Vietnamese medical treatments. I'm typing on a computer that I bought here in Ho Chi Minh City, using a broadband connection saigon that is just the same (as far as I can tell) as in America.
