So why don't you think of coming. I'll name some of the reasons why you should:
1. She's a new place. It's not touristy like in Thailand and many places you go people got stunned by your appearance.
2. She's safe and friendly. The majority of people in Vietnam are farmers pure farmers. Many of them have never learnt of much apart from the village they were born in. Naturally they're almost all friendly and safe to be around. Moreover the communist government does a good job in ensuring securities all over the country. Nothing of a crime has happened to tourists for the last decades.
3. She has lots to see: A thin country stretching for thousands of Km from North to South. It has beautiful mountains with colorful and rich culture hill tribes. It has beaches and many of those are considered best in the world but still they're not touristy. Sound cool enough? Not end yet she's home to 7 UNESCO World Heritages. Almost anywhere you go you're stumble on a World Heritage.
4. She's cheap. If you want to then 1 dollar could buy you a basic lunch or dinner. Wandering around and you want to find somewhere to sit and drink? Mostly you don't have to pay more than one dollar for it. Cheap accommodations and services are everywhere around the Old Quarter in Hanoi and Pham Ngu Lao street or Bui Vien street – Sai Gon (if you're traveling on a tight budget). If not a tight budget? Never mind. You have top hotels and resorts of the world in here.
5. Is travel here convenient? Sure many companies operate the open bus (good quality in general) and they run almost to every capital cities in the country. Moving around is very easy.
6. After all traveling is to experience the difference. And Vietnam simply is from any place that you have been.
