Sleeper Bus Vietnam 2017 OPEN BUS TOUR
From Dalat to Nha Trang, tiket bus cost $6
WHAT IS #VIETNAM #OPEN #BUS #TOUR ??
The main feature of the OPEN BUS TOUR is a daily bus service. Moreover, on the journey, at your demand and interest, the traveller could stop by and visit any famous destinations nation wide.
e.g. Hanoi - Ninh binh - Vinh - Quang binh - Hue - Danang - Hoi an -Nhatrang - Dalat - Ho Chi Minh City or vice versa
At these local spots of scenic beauty, if you would like to branch out to another places, sightseeing tours are available in each town, these tours are conducted by local operators and all information concerning the time and places of the bus departure will be given to you as well.
At each of your stop place, you should reconfirm in advance (24 h) at our nearest booking office your departure time so that we arrange the next trip for you.
And, foremost, the striking feature of the OPEN TOUR that tourist has mostly been interested in is the reasonable prices serving any kind of your budget, from low to up market.
With a motto To maximize the satisfaction of diverse needs of the traveller - We are pleased to serve you.
• Daily departure with different departure times
• Departure on time regardless of small number of travelers
• Various bus types: seating bus and sleeping bus
• Routing throughout Vietnam from South to North and vice versa, and Cambodia.
A sleeper bus, also known in the USA as an entertainer coach and in Europe as a nightliner, is a type of specially adapted coach, often used to transport bands and their technicians and road crew between cities and shows.
In Europe, these vehicles are full-sized coaches, but are only designed internally to carry between 8 and 18 passengers. There are always full galley facilities, comfortable lounges and bunk beds to allow the passengers to eat, relax and sleep during the journey to the next gig or concert. These vehicles sometimes have blacked out or mirrored windows, allowing passengers to see out, but preventing fans from peering in. They are well equipped, as the comfort of the passengers is paramount. DVD players, large screen TV, and game systems are now the norm, while some vehicles even have personal DVD players and screens in each bunk.
Well known bands such as Bon Jovi or U2 may use as many as seven or eight sleeper buses on their tours to accommodate the many road crew required. These bands rarely travel on the bus though; they use air transport or limousines or a luxury splitter Tour Bus, leaving their crew members to travel by bus. Smaller, less well-known bands will usually travel on the bus along with their tech crew.
Sleeper coaches have come a long way since the old days when ex-National Express coaches were retired into sleeper coach use. Nowadays, the leading companies are buying new coaches, which after fitting out, cost over £350,000 (US$535,000), though the rates for these coaches are not much more than conventional coaches.
Both in the United Kingdom and the United States, there has been an increase of expectations: TV and video games in every bunk, 3G internet access, coffee machines, wide memory foam mattresses, decent air conditioning, etc.
Some #travel companies have these as mobile hotels, taking tourists to locations where there is no hotel, or there are long distances overnight.
Thank you very much for views, comments and likes!
gun control works, just ask the Cambodians
In proportion to its population, Cambodia underwent a human catastrophe unequaled by any other country in the twentieth century (see Figure 1.2 of my Death By Government). It probably lost slightly less than 4,000,000 people to war, rebellion, manufactured famine, and democide--genocide, nonjudicial executions, and massacres--or close to 56 percent of its 1970 population. Between 1970 and 1980, from democide alone, successive governments and guerrilla groups murdered almost 3,300,000 men, women, and children, including 35,000 foreigners. Most of these, probably as many as 2,400,000, were murdered by the communist Khmer Rouge, both before and (to a much greater extent) when they took over Cambodia after April 1975. These statistics are shown in Table 6.2 here.2
The United States had supported and supplied the Cambodian military government of General Lon Nol. But the American Congress ended all aid to him with the withdrawal of the United States from the Vietnam War in 1973. After successive retreats, Lon Nol could no longer even defend the capital, Phnom Penh, against the Khmer Rouge guerrillas. The Cambodian army then declared a cease-fire and laid down its arms. On April 17, 1975, a rag-tag bunch of solemn, black-pajama-clad teenagers with red scarves and Mao caps, carrying arms of all descriptions, walked or were trucked from different directions into Phnom Penh. They were part of an army of 68,000 Khmer Rouge guerrillas that had achieved victory for a Communist Party of only 14,000 members against an army of about 200,000 men.
At first, the people hardly knew what to make of these victorious guerrillas. After all, the war was over, the killing had stopped, and people who had chafed under the Lon Nol government were relieved and happy. Many intellectuals and middle-class Cambodians were disgusted with the everyday corruption of the government, and were willing to try anything that brought change, even Communism. The Khmer Rouge was cheered, and there were public and private celebrations.
But before the people could settle down and enjoy a few days of peace, the Khmer Rouge began doing the unimaginable: they turned their weapons on the 2,000,000 to 3,000,000 inhabitants of the capital and with angry yelling, shouting, hand-waving, threats of immediate death, and actual shooting, demanded that everyone get out of the city. In this and all other newly occupied cities and towns, their order to evacuate was implacable. Including those in other cities and towns elsewhere, the Khmer Forge kicked into a largely unprepared countryside near 4,240,000 urban Cambodians and refugees, even the sick, infirm and aged. Even for those on the operating table or in labor with child, the order was absolute: Go! Go! You must leave!
Families evacuated any way possible, carrying what few possessions they could grab. The wealthy or middle-class rode out in cars, soon to be abandoned, or stolen from them by the Khmer Rouge. Some left on heavily loaded motor scooters or bicycles, which would also soon be confiscated. The vast multitude of pathetic urbanites and refugees only had their feet, and formed barely moving lines extending for miles. Some ill or infirm hobbled along; some thrown from hospitals crawled along on hands and knees. According to a British journalist who, from the safety of the French embassy, watched the slowly moving mass of evacuees, the Khmer Rouge was tipping out patients [from the hospitals] like garbage into the streets.... Bandaged men and women hobbled by the embassy. Wives pushed wounded soldier husbands on hospital beds on wheels, some with serum drips still attached. In five years of war, this is the greatest caravan of human misery I have seen.
Failure to evacuate meant death. Failure to begin evacuation promptly enough meant death. Failure of anyone in the mass of humanity that clogged the roads out of a city and in the neighboring countryside to obey Khmer Rouge orders meant death. Failure to give the Khmer Rouge what they wanted--whether car, motor scooter, bicycle, watch, or whatever--meant death.

Bangkok Street Life - Mr Tum the motorbike taxi driver
Motorbike taxi drivers have built their reputation on getting customers to their desired destination in super quick time. As such, motorbike taxis are a popular mode of public transport in Thailand, especially for locals who are travelling solo for a short distance.
In Bangkok motorbike taxis are mostly used for short journeys up and down the streets, transporting passengers from bus stops and public transport stations to their place of work or homes. It is estimated that motorbike taxis in Bangkok make over 2 million trips every day, and it is claimed that Bangkok could not function without them.
“This motorbike taxi stand is only 5 minutes away from our Clubhouse. Usually, the leader would not be very happy to be filmed, but since we cycle pass Khun Tum everyday, we know and acknowledge each other. You will notice, however, that some of the other drivers in this motorbike stand still try to avoid the camera!”
Matthew - tour guide at Follow Me Bangkok Bicycle Tours
In Bangkok, motorbike taxi stands can be found in many of the busy street corners and intersections. Motorbike taxi drivers are easy to recognise, apart from the obvious motorbikes with yellow coloured licence plates (yellow is used for all public transport vehicles), the drivers all wear a government-issued orange vest with their motorbike taxi licence displayed on the front and back.
Mr Tum has been a motorbike taxi driver in Bangkok for over 17 years. Being the leader of this particular motorbike stand in the Sathorn district, he has obviously worked hard over the years and has gained the respect of the other drivers in his team. Motorbike taxi drivers will congregate at their designated stand each day waiting their turn to collect a fare. When it is not particularly busy you will often see them just relaxing and playing around, or, catching a few minutes sleep whilst lying across their bikes.
As Mr Tum explained, after receiving their motorbike taxi licence the drivers will be allocated to a specific area of the city to work. Over time, they develop an in-depth knowledge of the local backstreets and shortcuts and they can easily avoid most of the Bangkok traffic. In addition, as motorbikes are able to weave in and out of any traffic that they do incur, often illegally riding down footpaths and jumping red stop lights, they are sure to get their customers to their destination in the shortest time building on their reputation.
But is it safe to travel by motorbike taxi?
If you have travelled by a motorbike taxi in Thailand, and particularly in Bangkok, you would probably agree that it must be one of the most dangerous ways to travel around the city. It is true that many visitors who jump on a motorbike taxi find the experience simply exhilarating. Equally, many other visitors find it totally terrifying, and that is just the thought of it!
Without doubt motorbikes are dangerous in any part of the world. Despite the obvious dangers locals seem to have no fear and just jump on, without any second thought or even attempting or thinking to wear a crash helmet.
Motorbike taxis maybe the fastest and most convenient way to get around Bangkok, particularly during the rush hour, but the question really is ‘Do you trust your driver?’
Good to know
If you are brave enough and decide to take a motorbike taxi, just explain where you want to go and be sure to clearly agree on the price before starting the journey. The fares should be listed on a board at the motorbike stand but as they are usually written in Thai it may not be much use. Generally, for a short journey they will be cheaper, and obviously faster, than a taxi or tuk-tuk.
For safety reasons alone you should always wear a helmet, don’t be surprised if the helmet you are offered is a cheap construction hard hat that will provide no protection. If a suitable helmet is not offered you can refuse the ride and look for another driver.
Remember, in Bangkok it is a legal requirement to wear a helmet when riding a motorbike, locals seem to happily ignore this law and often get away with it, but as a foreigner you are an easy target for the traffic police with an on the spot fine.
When you are on a motorbike taxi and you want them to go slower, say “Chaa Chaa” - slow down. They may just choose to ignore you!

Vietnam Travel Series - Overlander.tv Meet a Local

Meet a Local Travel Series – Vietnam
Explore unique Vietnam from the top to the bottom, meeting locals at top tourist destinations.
Stories include:
*Heritage listed Ha Long Bay is a major tourist attraction in Vietnam, and rightly so.The bay is home to over a thousand jungle clad limestone pillars, several of which are hollow and contain enormous caves.
*I next visit Cat Ba Island, the largest island in the bay. Half of Cat ba is National Park.I interview Tuan, a local cafe owner. He takes me for a tour of the island and we also visit a floating village, where people farm fish in small enclosures.
*Homestay with a Hill Tribe family. There are 54 ethnic groups in Vietnam.?Most are located in the remote highlands. The village of Ban Luc, where we stayed, was made up of an ethnic group called White Thai. It was a great experience to stay with a family in their traditional stilt house, with bamboo slate floor and palm leaf roof. To see how they cook, to wander the idyllic village and get a glimpse of rural life. We got to try local specialities like bamboo rice and a home made alcoholic beverage drank through bamboo straws. The community put on a song and dance show featuring traditional dance and instruments.
*Hanoi has a 1000 year history as a city. It has been invaded by the Chinese, French and Japanese. The French Colonial period in particular has had a noticeable influence on the aesthetics of the City. I visit a Bia Hoi Bar where I find relief from the constant rush and din. Lan, a student in International Relations, gives me a half day tour of Hanoi. We visit the flower market, watch people exercise around Hoan Kiem Lake, and visit Lan’s favorite restaurant, Hai Vuong Quan.
*Hue was the ancient imperial city of the Nguyen Dynasty. I visit the Citadel which once contained the forbidden city, and take a dragon boat tour along the Perfume River to view the Thien Mu Pagoda and the Tombs of the Emperors. I meet up with Nhi, a commerce student who takes me to Thanh Toan Bridge where we meet a fortune teller. Nhi discusses superstition in Vietnam and we both get our palms read.
*Hoi An was the most important trading port in South East Asia in the 16th and 17th Century. It traded items like silk, ceramics and spices with China, Japan, Europe, India, and even Arabia.Then due to certain changes, it sat dormant for 200 years, remaining unchanged, until recently discovered by tourists.I interviewed Eric Kappeler, a Swiss-born sculptor living in Hoi An.I also get to see a display of Cham dancing, and visit Marble Mountain, where sculptors have made a vision of hell in the subterranean caves.
*In Nha Trang I do a story on the positive impact tourists can have on local people. Mai Loc was a cyclo driver, a chance meeting with a Norwegian couple and their gift to Loc, of a small camera, lead to him changing careers and realising his talent as a photographer. Self taught, Loc’s photos have been exhibited around the world. I also visit Monkey Island where monkeys have been taught to ride bikes.
*The hill village of Dalat is a temperate tourist escape from the tropical heat of the rest of Vietnam. The most common tourist activity in Dalat is to take an Easy Rider guided motorcycle of the surrounding countryside. I take a tour and visit a silk worm farm, a waterfall, watch traditional weaving, and visit a rural blacksmith who offers me a homemade alcoholic brew made of rice and reptile animal parts! For lunch we visit a local diner where we learn how Pho, beef noodle soup, is prepared.
*I think the first thing that you notice about Ho Chi Minh City is the traffic, elbow to elbow, a constant drone of motorcycle motors and horns. In Saigon, I interviewed video artist, Tran Dan, asking him where he finds inspiration in such a bustling city.

Our experiences traveling in Vietnam (favorite places, food, transportation & budget travel tips)
Now that we've settled into our new base in Chiang Mai, Thailand we though it would be a perfect time for us to discuss our most recent experiences traveling in Vietnam; including what was our favorite places/destinations, food, transportation and budget travel tips. As a brief introduction, Vietnam is one of the most under-rated countries in SE Asia for backpackers and/or travelers given what it offers in terms of value. As a country with diverse landscapes, regional uniqueness and mouthwatering cuisine, I'm still surprised more people aren't flocking here.

In terms of our specific journey, we started off in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) and ended up covering the Mekong Delta, Nha Trang, Hoi An, Halong Bay, Hanoi and Sapa. If we had more time we wish we could have explored Hanoi longer (we really just used it as a transportation hub) and visited the likes of Dalat and Mui Ne.
Our top three attractions in Vietnam were cruising along Halong Bay on a boat tour, being culture vultures in Hoi An and trekking and visiting hill-tribes in Sapa.
Ha Long Bay scored high on our list given the extreme beauty of the Karst Limestone cliffs we got to witness up close and personal. Staying overnight on a boat and having the opportunity to interact with other travelers - from all walks of life and different ages - proved to be a top highlight; also, we had the opportunity to try kayaking together for the first time along with visiting a cave and several beaches.
Hoi An is a place we could both potentially see ourselves considering strongly as a base in the not too distant future. It had everything we desired in a city including great food, fascinating architecture, local markets worth exploring and countryside & beaches nearby.
Sapa, was otherworldly. We've never had such stunning views from our hotel room before and when we decided to venture off trekking we were treated to scenery even more spectacular than our hotel room views - which blew our minds in the first place. The problem with narrowing things down to just three places/attractions is that you leave out a lot of things you really enjoyed.
Our preferred method of transportation was taking the train (even though buses were cheaper) given it was the most comfortable journey. If you do take the buses, especially the overnight ones, be prepared for plenty of swerving, honking and random jolts. Even though we were able to sleep through most of the night, it was not restful sleep by any means. A few times, we awoke feeling as though we were going off of a cliff; not terribly pleasant to say the least. If we had to do it over again, we'd have done the entire journey by train.
In terms of accommodations we found that we were able to find excellent value around the $17-20 range and when we splurged at $30 we were getting boutique value. In Malaysia (and even Cambodia to a certain extent), we were scrimping and not willing to pay a bit extra for comfort. In Vietnam, we changed our strategy and - in turn - were rewarded with more comfortable beds, air conditioning and reliable wifi; it was certainly money well spent.
Overall, Vietnam was our favorite country in SE Asia that we explored over the past three months and we HIGHLY recommend it to others whether you're vacationers, travelers, backpackers or digital nomads:
Bây giờ chúng ta đã giải quyết thành cơ sở mới của chúng tôi tại Chiang Mai, Thái Lan, chúng tôi mặc dù nó sẽ là một thời điểm hoàn hảo để chúng tôi thảo luận về những kinh nghiệm gần đây nhất của chúng tôi đi du lịch ở Việt Nam, bao gồm cả những gì đã được các địa điểm yêu thích của chúng tôi / các điểm đến, thực phẩm, giao thông vận tải và du lịch ngân sách lời khuyên. Như một giới thiệu ngắn gọn, Việt Nam là một trong những quốc gia bị đánh giá cao nhất ở Đông Nam Á cho du khách ba lô và / hoặc khách du lịch cho những gì nó cung cấp về giá trị. Là một quốc gia với cảnh quan đa dạng, độc đáo của khu vực và các món ăn mouthwatering, tôi vẫn ngạc nhiên nhiều người không đổ xô đây.

23 Things To Do In Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) Vietnam
►Read 23 Things to do in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), Vietnam:
►FREE eBook:
When I was in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), along with eating as much Vietnamese food as I could, one of my goals was to film a travel video about some of the best things to do in Saigon. After putting together a complete list, it turned out to be 23, and I hope this list of attractions will help and inspire you to visit Vietnam’s largest and most exciting city.
1. Binh Tay Market - Binh Tay Market is one of the largest wholesale distribution markets, and a perfect place to go if you’re looking to go shopping in Ho Chi Minh City.
2. Thien Hau Temple (Pagoda) - Located in Chinatown, in District 5, the temple is dedicated to Thien Hau and I really loved the sculptures and the elaborate design of the temple.
3. Museum of Ho Chi Minh City - This museum offers a glimpse into the history and development of the city and Vietnam.
4. Bitexco Financial Tower - This is the tallest building in Saigon, and you can either go to the Skydeck or a cafe at the top for a view of the city.
5. Independence Palace (Reunification Palace) - Probably one of the most well known tourism things to do in Saigon is to visit the Independence Palace, the the former home of the president of South Vietnam during the Vietnam War.
6. Saigon Cathedral of Notre Dame - With the French influence in Vietnam, the Notre Dame cathedral is a beautiful Catholic church. Attend a service or just visit.
7. Central Post Office - Designed by Gustave Eiffel, the Central Post Office in Ho Chi Minh City is an attraction mainly for its design and architecture. It’s a beautiful building.
8. War Remnants Museum - Although this is not one of the happiest attractions in Saigon, it’s a place to remember and honor the horrible events that are a result of a war.
9. Opera House - Right in Dong Khoi area, and there are still opera shows available.
10. Dong Khoi Street - This is the height of high end shopping in Saigon.
11. Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens - The zoo itself is not too great, but the beauty of the Saigon zoo is the botanical gardens, and the lush gardens, and taking a break from the city.
12. FITO Museum (Museum of Traditional Vietnamese Medicine) - I was quite impressed by the Vietnamese medicine private museum - very interactive and educational.
13. San Art Laboratory – If you love modern art, the San Art Laboratory is a great place to see and visit in Saigon.
14. Turtle Lake at Night - If you’re looking for some things to do at night in Saigon, head to Turtle Lake to chill out, relax, hang out with friends, and eat snacks.
15. Ben Thanh Market - One of the most famous things to do in Saigon District 1 is visit the Ben Thanh Market, one of the major central landmarks of the city.
16. Phu My Hung and Starlight Bridge - Located outside of central Ho Chi Minh City, Phu My Hung is a modern development, and a great place to walk around.
17. Water Puppet Show - Though originally from the north of Vietnam, water puppet shows are popular also in Saigon. I went to the Golden Dragon Water Puppet theater.
18. Museum of Vietnamese History - Probably one of the most extensive and important museum showing the history of Vietnam and Ho Chi Minh City.
19. Rooftop Bar - Seeing Saigon from above offers a great perspective.
20. Fine Arts Museum - This was my favorite of all the museums in Saigon. The museum is housed in a well preserved building, and the art is amazing - located right in District 1 across the roundabout from Ben Thanh Market.
21. Jade Emperor Pagoda - Dedicated to the Jade Emperor, the pagoda has a real ancient feel to it, and it’s worth seeing when you visit.
22. Local Wet Market - One of my favorite things to do is visit a local fresh wet market, which you’ll find all over the city. The ingredients, food, and culture, all stand out at fresh markets.
23. Vietnamese Street Food - By my ultimate favorite activity in Saigon is eating street food, and there are an abundance of delicious Vietnamese street foods to sample.
Thank you for watching this video about the top 23 things to do in Saigon, Vietnam. I hope it has given you some great ideas to help you plan your visit.

*******************************
Short History of SACCONEJOLYs
In 2008 Anna was uploading beauty videos to youtube on her own channel and Jonathan was helping her behind the scenes.
In late 2009 Jonathan set up this channel because he wanted to do his own youtube videos. What started out as a week experiment to film his life everyday for 7 days in a row has now become SACCONEJOLYS
this channel was formally known as LeFloofTV but was later changed to SACCONEJOLYs
When Jonathan Joly married Anna Saccone they both decided that instead of Anna dropping her family name they would both take each others name and join them together.
They choose to use SACCONEJOLY rather then JOLYSACCONE simply because it sounded better.
Jonathan and Anna Saccone Joly have three children, Emilia Saccone Joly, Eduardo Saccone Joly and Alessia Saccone Joly. they also have six maltese dogs, Albi, Sina, Theo, Bianca, Nivea and Nuvola.
They moved from Ireland to the UK in 2014.

Train Ride in Vietnam | Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) to Nha Trang Train Route Transportation Journey
In our latest travel video we board a train from Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) en route to Nha Trang marking our first train ride in Vietnam. Naturally, given our passion for train travel over all other modes of transportation, we were on edge with excitement. At first we were quite confused which cart to board given that numerous carts had the same number as ours. In Vietnam, there are a number of carriages reserved for private companies, such as ET Pumpkin and Eastern Oriental, which added to our confusion.

Even the ticket attendant had us shuffling around from cart to cart until we finally settled on the proper one and sat down at our seats. The train was packed and aside from a European couple seated next to us were the only foreigners on board. One thing we instantly noticed was that the trains weren't maintained as well as some of the others we've been on in Asia. Our seat cushion was frayed and the reclining option was broken. Regardless, we were still thrilled to be taking a train trip as opposed to being on a bus.
The journey itself was one of the most scenic I've been on in a long time.
The diversity in landscapes was quite impressive as we passed through regions that were covered by lush jungle, farmland, arid desert, flat and mountainous terrain. At times, I would get out of my seat and head outside of my carriage so that I could just feel the wind blowing in my face as I captured footage with my camcorder and just spent moments enjoying it with my naked eyes.
We loaded up on some local snacks at a small bakery in Saigon; however, we found ourselves eating plenty of Vietnamese options served on the train. Vietnamese Attendants pushing carts of various snacks and coffee were a frequent occurrence throughout our journey.
One of our favorite snacks in Vietnam is iced coffee and spring rolls. The process of serving the iced coffee was rather fascinating as condensed milk was first poured into the cup followed by coffee/sugar and finally crushed ice. It's a far more meticulous process than I ever imagined; I must say I have lot more respect for the process of preparing an iced coffee in Vietnam.
Overall the journey took 7 hours to complete; however, we didn't find it nearly that long as we spent a good bulk of the journey nodding off:
Trong video du lịch mới nhất của chúng tôi chúng tôi lên một xe lửa từ Sài Gòn (Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh) trên đường đến Nha Trang đánh dấu chuyến xe lửa đầu tiên của chúng tôi tại Việt Nam. Đương nhiên, với niềm đam mê của chúng tôi cho tàu du lịch trên tất cả các phương tiện vận tải, chúng tôi đang cạnh với sự phấn khích.
Lúc đầu chúng tôi khá bối rối mà giỏ hàng để hội đồng quản trị cho rằng nhiều xe có số lượng tương tự như chúng ta. Ở Việt Nam, có một số toa xe dành riêng cho các công ty tư nhân, chẳng hạn như ET Pumpkin và Đông phương Đông, thêm vào sự nhầm lẫn của chúng tôi.
Ngay cả những tiếp viên bán vé đã cho chúng tôi xáo trộn xung quanh khỏi giỏ hàng vào giỏ hàng cho đến khi cuối cùng chúng tôi giải quyết trên đúng một và ngồi xuống ghế của chúng tôi. Đoàn tàu đã được đóng gói và một số tồn tại một vài châu Âu ngồi cạnh chúng tôi là người nước ngoài duy nhất trên tàu. Một điều chúng ta ngay lập tức nhận thấy là các đoàn tàu không được duy trì cũng như một số người khác, chúng tôi đã được vào trong khu vực châu Á. Đệm ghế của chúng tôi đã bị sờn và tùy chọn ngả đã bị hỏng. Không phân biệt, chúng tôi vẫn vui mừng khi được tham gia một chuyến tàu như trái ngược với trên một chiếc xe buýt.
This is part of our Travel in Vietnam series. We're making a series of videos showcasing Vietnamese culture, Vietnamese arts, Vietnamese foods, Vietnamese religion and Vietnamese people.

Cambodia: A Country of Contradictions (Fall 2015)
For most, Cambodia evokes one of two striking images; the majesty of the ancient Ankor Wat or the Killing Fields of the Khmer Rouge era (1975-1979). Come expand your view of this beautiful, sometimes historically troubled and now quickly developing country - there is far more about Cambodia worth knowing.
As with most nations, issues abound: Socio-economic imbalances exist between rural and urban areas, and when combined with the lack of opportunities for employment, education, and safe-migration, issues such as human trafficking arise. Nongovernmental organizations may have sincere hopes of helping, but are they effective? How can one move forward in our fast paced world and yet still protect rich cultural traditions and the environment? In a country determined to move beyond the recent historical events, things move awfully fast, sometimes at a cost to the environment and to its citizens.
Diana Knauf has made 2 trips to Cambodia (most recently this summer) where she spoke with experts and observed first-hand the beauty and troubles of Cambodia. Join us in discussing this country of contradictions with her.
