Final thoughts on Vietnam

A typical day of traffic. When we were here in 2000, it was almost all motorcycles, bicycles, and pedicabs. Now there all lots of cars and taxis in the mix. If you are interested in traveling to Vietnam, I would do it soon. If progress continues and more people are able to afford cars, the traffic will come to a standstill. The plans that they have for the Danang Beaches is going to turn the place into Orlando. I'm so afraid that Vietnam will lose most of it's charm and innocence.
