Tet 2013 Saigon

Just a handful of shots from tonight. At midnight began the year of the snake in Saigon. We headed up to the 10th floor of the hotel to watch the fireworks down by the river near the Majestic Hotel. Here are a few of the more successful captures. The lighted street below is Bui Vien, the backpacker zone. The skyscraper with the lighted top is Bitexco Financial Tower.

Tet in Saigon

The terraced paddy fields not only yield substantial crops of the widely consumed staple; but are also a gorgeous sight to behold. Agriculture at its best … and most beautiful! The terraced paddy fields own different beauty during different periods of time when the rice is evergreen or yel...

Entrepreneurship And Expat Life in Vietnam

Hình ảnh
The last few decades of ever-increasing globalisation, pervasive Internet and cheap airfares has made our world much smaller. Emerging economies continue to expand and new options for the worlds would-be expats continue to open up.

Continued high economic growth has meant Vietnam ticks almost all the lifestyle boxes.  For starters the low cost of living in Vietnam, spectacular food and access to quality health care already make it stand tall over many other destinations. Add to that the warm sunshine, prevalence of strong coffee and the magnificent people and I’d be surprised if you needed any more convincing.
