Visiting the place a few years back....and having conversations with former VC and NVA was very enjoyable. Once the Ice was broken....it was just old Soldiers talking about their experiences....and sometimes shared experiences.

Seeing the young folks serving today....especially some of the Ladies....Pith Helmets...green uniforms...and a AK hanging from the shoulder was interesting.

It is a beautiful country, very friendly people, and just a nice place to visit.....I could easily have retired there except for other commitments that kept me here.

Way up north next to the Chinese Border is some very pretty country....and cold in the Winter. I was surprised to see Fireplaces in some of the Restaurants and Hotels.
