Do Vietnam Like Bourdain
You remember that guy, Anthony Bourdain, don't you? Personally, I think he may have single-handedly formed my unwavering obsession with food and travel. I've read Kitchen Confidential five times and have owned four copies; hard cover, soft cover, large print, and anniversary edition. I've watched every episode of every series he made, at least twice. I shit you not.
Tony loved Vietnam, possibly even more than NYC. I personally haven't had the opportunity to go yet but it's in the top three. When referring to Tony with Vietnam, it's easy to make it all about food. And there's nothing wrong with that. But when you have the chance to go, you'll experience a ton of other amazing things that make this country so beloved.
Taken from our international travel booking website:
Vietnam is a true masterpiece of a country in Southeast Asia. From the lively urban centre of Ho Chi Minh City to the stunning beauty of internationally renowned UNESCO World Heritage Sites, visiting Vietnam makes for a truly life-changing experience. The capital city, Hanoi, displays a curious mix of Chinese and French influences that come together in a large urban area with a surprisingly relaxed atmosphere. On the northeastern coast of the country is the ever-popular Ha Long Bay. Picture a sea of shimmering turquoise waters within which impressive rock formations stand tall, crowned by the greenest of vegetation and hiding secret grottos decorated with ancient stalactites. Further south is Hoi An, a coastal city of bright yellow houses, endless rice fields, and white beaches. Its gorgeous and well-preserved Ancient Town shows off the region’s particular brand of foreign-influenced architecture. In southern Vietnam is Ho Chi Minh City, or Saigon, a city like no other in the country. With so much to see and do, it is hard to get bored here. From the Museum of Vietnamese History (Bao Tang Lich Su) to the Emperor Jade Pagoda, the Notre Dame Cathedral, and ‘Cho Lon’, or Chinatown, Vietnam’s largest city is an exciting and diverse city cultural hotspot.
