Vietnam Vagabonds #13 Pat and Denise have just arrived in Vietnam and talk about their adventures in Hanoi, Hue and Hoi An. Vietnam is a very old country with a rich and honored history. But Vietnam is hardly the old man of  Southeast Asia,  but instead, the new kid on the block. Hanoi is an incredibly bustling city with entrepreneurs and mom and pop businesses springing up every few meters. The wars fought with the Americans, French, Japanese, Chinese and Mongols are mostly forgotten by average people. What we experienced was a open door policy and a deep desire to make us customers. The food is terrific and the beer similar to all other Pilsners in the world. We have much to share from city life to country bicycling on China Beach.
