Mention "Vietnam" and some will think about the American war in the 1960s. Others will associate it to the slim-figured Vietnamese girls dressed in their flattering traditional ao dai and conical hats. Yet others will let their minds wander off to many natural wonders (mountains, caves, rivers, bays and beaches) in the country. And for the gourmet, "Vietnam" is certainly pho (beef noodles), nem (spring rolls), cha ca (fishcakes) and all kinds of mouth-watering delicacy.

Well, Vietnam is all the above and more...
