VIETNAM
We allocated more time to Vietnam than any other country in Southeast Asia. We initially planned to visit Saigon and Hanoi, but we added Hoi An and Hue due to recommendations from people that we’d met along the way. We were curious as to how we would be viewed and treated here as Americans. While we were generally treated well, there were some moments where we felt embarrassed to be from the US.
