Vietnam

Vietnam

Most Americans know that Vietnam is a small country in Southeast Asia. Most also know that there was a war in Vietnam, and that the United States was involved. Many people seem to have forgotten, though, that Vietnam is a country not some foreign war. They know little about my country beyond what they've seen on TV. Even many Vietnamese, both in Vietnam and here in the U.S., often haven't taken the time to learn about their country's history and geography. Here is some basic information on Vietnam's History, Culture, and Geography taken from Lonely Planet's travel survival kit for Vietnam.
