The flights from Australia to Vietnam are getting cheaper and cheaper and here in Darwin, Vietnam has become a really popular destination for those who have done the Bali/Thailand/Singapore thing. Thank you Tiger Airlines!
If you are in Vietnam, keep an eye out for the mosaics. Lots of glorious pique assiette type mosaic. Check out the photoset of Wendy Tanner’s Vietnam adventures which is where this photo comes from.
