We spent two days in Vietnam.
Nhan Trang is a beautiful busy port on the Sea of China with attractive beaches.
We visited several temples.
We visited a silk factory where hundred young women embroider silk sheets and another factory where they handmade black lacquer boxes decorated with mother of pearl decorations. Later we were presented with drinks of coconut.
Question 2: Which city in the Far East has more bycicles and motorcycles than any country in the world?
Vietnamese are essentially Buddhists. They also honor their ancestors.
We visited several temples.
The bazaars attract many tourists with their special bargains, but merchants grab your arm and push their products under your nose. We could hardly move between a human sea.
It's a beautiful country, but a poor one, too crowded and too dirty, and Saigon harbored even more bycicles and motorcycles than I have ever seen in any country, even in the Netherlands or Italy.

You are very fortunate to be able to go to these places and enjoy what they had to offer. I spent some time in that area in the late 60's and early 70's and then again in 85. Nice photos!
What a fabulous trip! I'm so jealous. Thanks for sharing. Skhye
