DINING
VIETNAM
Whatever the movies have taught you about
Vietnam, forget it.
The country is shedding its old look, disrobing
itself of the heavy cloak of history to become a
pulsating, spirited destination able not just to
compete, but to surpass its peers in the region.
You want to spend? Try a shopping trip to Ho
Chi Minh City's sparkling high-rise malls.
You want to lounge? Head for any of the
beaches and luxury resorts that dot the coast.
You want to party till dawn, breakfast on a boat
and explore caves and diving spots in the
afternoon? Vietnam not only has you covered,
it'll have first-timers wondering why they never
made the trip out before and old hands already
planning what to do in Vietnam next year.
