Do you have your Twitter accounts already? You better have one now because you can get to follow your fave Asian celebrities via their tweets.

Some Korean celebrities are tweeting in hangul so if you can't understand it, you better start learning. But the good news is, these Korean celebrities are trying their best to tweet in English, so their non-Korean fans can get to understand their tweets and follow them with comfort.

I mean, they can be good in that certain genre, but they don't have to be always known for that. They can have other genres that are good. Such as Japanese movies, they are known for their horror movies, but i mean, its not all that is good from them. Although they make them better than some others, they can be known for other genres. Korean movies are known for sad storylines. Someone even once told me that if someone doesn't die in a korean movie/drama, then its not good. I dont think its true.]]>

A lot of things my family keeps, but others, I notice, we don't...

for example...

+ Everyone takes their shoes off in my house. We use our own slippers, but guests generally walk in their socks
+ We don't celebrate Thanksgiving in a western sense. We just see it as a day of rest or holiday. No turkey dinner and stuff. Just a regular day but without the work
+ If my parents can save a few cents, they will, even if it's more trouble then it's worth

Have you got informations about Vietnam travel destinations, vietnam culture, vietnam language, vietnam tradidition, vietnam currency, vietnam climate and weather... and what kind of Vietnam tours will you join?
Belows are some tips we think might help you make decision well:
Regarding North Vietnam tours,it is reccommanded to tour Halong bay Vietnam to enjoy Halong bay cruises with dozens of deluxe junks cruising around the bay. Overnight on boat is really fantastic. For people who are interested in Vietnam adventure tours, Sapa Vietnam tours
are first choices. For those who have tight schedule, take Vietnam optional tours with short tours at some famous tourist sites. For those who would like to experience the whole Vietnam, from the north to the south or vice versa, take Vietnam package tours
which will show you Vietnam in close up. After the long trip, may be you take some relaxation at Vietnam beach vacation. There are some beautiful beaches in Vietnam with deluxe accommodation such as hotels in Catba, hotels in Hoian, hotels in Nha Trang, hotels in Muine Phan Thiet, hotels in Phu Quoc... Especially, you can stay at luxury hotels in Saigon or hotels in Hanoi with the famous names such as Sofitel Metropole, Caravelle...
Regarding Central Vietnam Tours, there many options for your consideration. But first just have a look at these ones: 7 days vietnam classic tour; DMZ tour; Vacation in Danang beach; Vietnam Legend tour...
Regading South Vietnam tours, you are suggested to take Mekong delta tours, tours to Can Tho...
Besides, if you want to connect your trip further to Vietnam neighbor coustries, take Cambodia tours
or Lao tours
.

Hope those words help you have an overview of Vietnam
