During the Vietnam War, DA NANG was home to a major air base that was used by both the South Vietnamese and United States air forces. The base was considered one of the world's busiest airports during the war reaching an average of 2,595 air traffic operations daily, more than any airport in the world at that time. The final U.S. ground combat operations in Vietnam ceased on 13 August 1972, when a residual force of the 196th Light Infantry Brigade stood down in Đà Nẵng. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ietnam_War.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ng_Jan1966.jpg |

However, when you refer to a statue as 'Christ the Redeemer', it usually refers to the one in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The one in Vung Tau is known in Vietnamese as 'Tượng chúa Kitô', or Christ the King Statue. That's according to the official source below: http://www.vungtautourist.com.vn/Pag...x?id=70&tid=12 |

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
Dear Fellow Samsters,
I have been reading more and more on the HCMC thread and realise that there are a few things to note if I would like to travel to HCMC. Basically, if cannot speak Viet, a lot of the fun is gone or probably pointless as some of the bros pointed out. Also, there has been some good guides for tipping and how much we should pay for services. However, I am still keen to go to HCMC and hope that there are kind souls who would be able to guide me along. If I can join some bros in their trip then it would be great! Of course, sharing of information is not for free and I understand that. A nice meal or some 'reimbursements' is fine with me too. Hope to hear from the experienced chiongsters! Quote:

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
Word of Caution.
As we approach the festive period. More and more snatch thefts are happening around the city. Over the past 2 days, I have read and heard of 3 cases. When coming here for any reason, do take care of your personal belongings. Especially take care when sitting / standing by the road side. |
