Anantha and myself reached Vietnam on 8Dec morning. Since then we were searching for any difference between India and Vietnam. It was surprising to see the similarities that these two countries have. Their culture...nuclear family system is very similar to that of India, while food habits have their roots from Japan and china, I am not sure. People respect each other, on the outlook they are very hard working smart people. Vietnam is in its transition from their transitional Culture and western culture.... It is taking the same route that India taken few decays before.
It is interested discussion we had over dinner table with some of our Vietnam colleague. Looks like corruption is their problem too. It is funny that we cooked our own food, poor veggie guys !
But the last day we had Vietnam traditional food, it was very good ..not like what we have imagined, better than what we have cooked. It's fun right ?
Similarities ....corruption, traffic, roadside shops, family value...
Differences... Food , food , food... One party rule here...
Friday we went to Halong bay , it is named as one of the natural wonder of the world. It was a refreshing trip. W spend around 2 hours in sea....it was good place to visit....
Leaving Vietnam today, thanks Vietnam for being a nice host and looking forward visiting you again.
For me this was a much needed break...and 2012 was a year with hectic domestic travel and meeting with customer...but ending with a international break :)
