1. Josh, for example, talked about the upcoming opening of the Holiday Inn in Hanoi and what this signifies for ...Hanoi Holiday (Inn)
Aug 29th, 2008 at 9:00AM: Though the rapid rate of development has not hit Hanoi as hard as it has Ho Chi Minh City, the capital city of Vietnam still seems overwhelmed with new constructions.

After travelling through Laos, Vietnam was a bit of a shock -- it's more frantic and dirty than any city I've ever been to, even crazier than London, Paris, Bangkok and New York all put together.

Word for the Travel Wise (04/12/06)
Apr 12th, 2006 at 8:00PM: Instead of using only the flag to
help point out which country I'll be looking to pull a word from today I decided to use a picture from the area to help
