My recent holiday

This Summer I wanted to have a special holiday in an asian country. I talked over with my boyfriend what country to choose. Finally we decided on visiting Vietnam. It was amazing to organise the trip, choose what cities to visit, places to sleep and so on.

Firstly, I would like to talk a little about the Vietnamese people. They are lovely and friendly and if you have any problems, they always want to help. It was easy to find a hostel to sleep during this trip, even though we did not book in advance. The same thing happened when we went to other cities.

Secondly, despite the Vietnam War the cities are still beautiful. In addition, you can visit some War museums. I have to say it was horrible. I had never heard about Agent Orange. It is an herbicide used in the War and its effects were not only felt at the time but also some three generations later. As I said above, they are special people, despite their great suffering. Everybody could learn a lesson from them.

Then, I went in to the jungle and I visited some Country Parks, where I got to see monkeys. I enjoyed this region a lot and it was a good time to switch off and relax.

In my opinion, I recommend everybody to visit this country and explore its culture and people. I have learned much more being here than from the books I've read. Travel really opens your mind and helps you to be abetter person.
