Full day exploring the non- touristy part of Mekong Delta and meeting farmers
A great video is made by our clients Jessyca & Shawn Grenier from our trip to Mekong delta. This tour gives travelers chance to visit non-touristy area and meet local farmers. Even the people who do tour services like boatman, tuk tuk driver, cherf... are farmers who work on tours for sub-incomes.
As a travel agent, #losethetietour are happy that we could deliver authentic Mekong to our clients as well as jobs for locals.

Vietnam Travel: Vietnamese food (Ben Thanh Market & Cooking Lesson in Saigon)
Ben Thanh Market is one of the earliest surviving structures in Saigon and an important symbol of Ho Chi Minh City, popular with tourists seeking local handicrafts, textiles and souvenirs, as well as local cuisine. We follow a local cook to shop grocery in the market, see what the local people eat and how they eat them. Then we learn to cook 4 Vietnamese dishes.

We Joined Mekong Delta Tour - Is It Beautiful ? ????????
This video is about the full-day experience we had in Vietnamese villages along the river, the day trip we had is not so far from Saigon ( Ho Chi Minh City ) and we think this is definitely what you should not miss while traveling to Vietnam.
Interested in the most in-depth guide to Seoul? Click here:
▶︎ Why did we decide to take the Mekong Delta tour? ????????
Ho Chi Minh City is a major destination in Vietnam and we decided to explore this city deeply by moving in for a month. However, we also want to have more authentic look at local culture. A day trip from Ho Chi Minh City to Mekong Delta is what we think can be a fantastic way to get to know a more rural side to Vietnam, from local bee farms to traditional fishing villages
▶︎ More About Mekong Delta :
The Mekong Delta (Vietnamese: Đồng bằng Sông Cửu Long, Nine Dragon river delta or simply Vietnamese: Đồng Bằng Sông Mê Kông, Mekong river delta), also known as the Western Region or the South-western region is the region in southwestern Vietnam where the Mekong River approaches and empties into the sea through a network of distributaries. The Mekong delta region encompasses a large portion of southwestern Vietnam. The size of the area covered by water depends on the season.
The Mekong Delta has been dubbed as a biological treasure trove. Over 1,000 animal species were recorded between 1997 and 2007 and new species of plants, fish, lizards, and mammals have been discovered in previously unexplored areas, including the Laotian rock rat, thought to be extinct.

Joint Organizing Committee launched for successful hosting of the Ho Chi Minh City-Gyeongju...
호찌민-경주세계문화엑스포 2017 위한 공동조직위원회 창립 총회 개최
Gyeongju.
One of Korea's culture hubs.
To share the Southeastern city's wonders with the world,... a speical expo with Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City will be launched in November.
According to our Lee Ji-won, a joint organizing committee is quickly moving to get the ball rolling.
The preparations for the Ho Chi Minh City-Gyeongju World Culture Expo 2017 have been officially launched.
Officials from Korea's southeastern province of Gyeongsangbuk-do and Chairman and Party members of Vietnam's southern city of Ho Chi Minh gathered in the Southeast Asian country on Tuesday for the Inaugural Assembly of the Joint Organizing Committee.
The ceremony not only marked the launch of the expo, but also shared the participants' goals for the event.
Korea and Vietnam celebrate their 25th anniversary of establishing diplomatic ties this year. And by providing numerous cultural performances and activities as well as giving advice on trade and investment,... the expo hopes to achieve common prosperity for the two countries and become one of Asia's staple cultural festivals.
Marking its third international cooperation with a global city,... the Gyeongju World Culture Expo is to organize numerous programs for the upcoming event in November,... including K-culture fairs and performances as well as business conferences.
Divided into three categories, namely Pride, Respect and Promise,... each program will serve as a means to share Gyeongju's traditions and culture, and boost economic exchanges between the two cities.
And to celebrate the launch of the joint organizing committee and wish for a successful hosting of the expo,... a concert was held at the Hoa Binh Theater later in the day.
Traditional dances and performances from Korea and Vietnam delighted the audience with the two countries' distinctive colors,... while the honorary ambassador for the expo, K-pop star, Block B pumped up the atmosphere.
I study Korean studies. I'm able to see a lot of Korean culture at this event so I'm excited to see more.
I heard that in November,... there will be more activities between Korea and Vietnam,... I'm really excited for that.
With the public already looking forward to the event,... the organizing committee said it will strive in the next months to live up to the expectations of the public and kick off a successful Ho Chi Minh City-Gyeongju World Culture Expo 2017. Lee Ji-won, Arirang News, Ho Chi Minh.

Preparations for Ho Chi Minh City-Gyeongju Expo underway
호찌민-경주엑스포 중앙자문단회의 개최
This November, Vietnam will play host to an expo promoting ties with Korea, both cultural and economic.
It's a Korean initiative... that started with exchanges between the city of Gyeongju and other cities around the world... and its now grown into a nation-to-nation event.
Our Park Hee-jun tells us what the organizers are doing to make this year's Gyeongju World Culture Expo a success.
The advisory committee meeting for the upcoming 'Ho Chi Minh City-Gyeongju World Culture Expo 2017' took place on Thursday at the Seoul Press Center in the heart of the South Korean capital.
More than 30 officials and opinion leaders of various fields...from politics to media and art... discussed ways to ensure the success of the expo,... now less than four months away.
This meeting is very important as it gives us time to discuss the direction of the expo and ways to export our culture.
This year's expo will run for 25 days, from November 9th to December 3rd in Ho Chi Minh City.
Co-hosted by the South Korean and Vietnamese local government, it commemorates the 25th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two nations.
Through 30 different programs, including a bazaar, martial arts performance, and a fashion show, the organizing committee hopes to expand the influence of the Korean culture in Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries.

The 3rd Gyeongju World Culture Expo will be held in Vietnam in November.
The organizers and advisors of the expo are already putting their heads together to share ideas on how to best to host the event.
Park Hee-jun has the details.
The advisory committee meeting for the upcoming 'Ho Chi Minh City-Gyeongju World Culture Expo 2017' took place on Thursday at the Seoul Press Center in the heart of the South Korean capital.
More than 30 officials and opinion leaders of various fields...from politics to media and art... discussed ways to ensure the success of the expo,... now less than four months away.
This meeting is very important as it gives us time to discuss the direction of the expo and ways to export our culture.
This year's expo will run for 25 days, from November 9th to December 3rd in Ho Chi Minh City.
Co-hosted by the South Korean and Vietnamese local government, it commemorates the 25th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two nations.
Through 30 different programs, including a bazaar, martial arts performance, and a fashion show, the organizing committee hopes to expand the influence of the Korean culture in Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries.
The expo will hold a bazaar divided into various sections. That way, each Korean product can tell its own story... and provide visitors with the chance to learn and experience some Korean culture.
The Ho Chi Minh-Gyeongju Expo follows the first in 2006 in Cambodia,... and the second seven years later in Turkey.
Although it's not the first,... holding the expo in Vietnam this year has special meaning.
The Korea-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement is a big contributor to Korea's increasing exports, especially in the food and culture sectors.
With around five-thousand Korean companies in Vietnam, the expo could lead to expanded economic and industrial cooperation as well.
However,... there are still some important tasks that require attention,... mainly related to funding.
In addition to government funding, we need private sponsors to host the expo successfully. We also need to make a profit from ticket sales and expo-related merchandise.
With less than 120 days left until the curtain comes down on the 'Ho Chi Minh City-Gyeongju World Culture Expo 2017', the organizing committee and Vietnam are ready to commit for a truly unique cultural event.
The 2017 expo aims at increasing cultural exchange between Korea and Vietnam, ultimately leading to greater regional prosperity in Asia.
The organizing committee is confident the event will be a success because the two governments have clear goals.

Beautiful Vietnamese girls wearing Ao Dai in Ho Chi Minh City
The áo dài is a Vietnamese national garment, worn by both sexes but now most commonly worn by women. In its current form, it is a tight-fitting silk tunic worn over trousers. Áo translates as shirt. Dài means long.
The word aodai was originally applied to the outfit worn at the court of the Nguyễn Lords at Huế in the 18th century. This outfit evolved into the áo ngũ thân, a five-paneled aristocratic gown worn in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Inspired by Paris fashions, Nguyễn Cát Tường and other artists associated with Hanoi University redesigned the ngũ thân as a modern dress in the 1920s and 1930s.The updated look was promoted by the artists and magazines of Tự Lực văn đoàn (Self-Reliant Literary Group) as a national costume for the modern era. In the 1950s, Saigon designers tightened the fit to produce the version worn by Vietnamese women today. The dress was extremely popular in South Vietnam in the 1960s and early 1970s. On Tết and other occasions, Vietnamese men may wear an áo gấm (brocade robe), a version of the ao dai made of thicker fabric.
Academic commentary on the ao dai emphasizes the way the dress ties feminine beauty to Vietnamese nationalism, especially in the form of Miss Ao Dai pageants, popular both among overseas Vietnamese and in Vietnam itself. Ao dai is one of the few Vietnamese words that appear in English-language dictionaries

Lao NEWS on LNTV: Ho Chi Minh, an outstanding politician of Vietnam & 1st president.19/5/2015
VO President Ho Chi Minh, an outstanding politician of Vietnam and its first president
INTRO: The Vietnamese annually celebrate President or Uncle Hồ Chí Minh's Birthday on May 19. He was an outstanding politician of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and its first president. This special story is to mark the 125th anniversary of the birth of Vietnamese President Ho Chi Minh.
STORY: President Ho Chi Minh was a visionary leader of the communist movement in Indochina, and an international supporter of the struggle for liberation from the former colonial powers.
President Ho Chi Minh was born in Kim Lien village, Nam Dan district in Nghe An province on May 19, 1890. Today marks the 125th anniversary of his birthday. He was born to a simple farming family; his father was a teacher who served and loved his country and detested bureaucracy and French colonialism. Ho Chi Minh devoted his life to liberating Vietnam and the struggle to eliminate domination, repression and colonialism across the globe.
As founder of the Indochina Communist Party and first President of Vietnam, ‘Uncle' Ho Chi Minh was a great leader of the Vietnamese people, a close friend to many nations around the world and held strong respect for the Lao people.
He learnt and rapidly developed an interest in the theories of Marx and Lenin. Ho Chi Minh always remembered the words of Lenin - “Studies never end”.
Applying this maxim throughout his life, Ho Chi Minh studied numerous foreign languages, learning to speak and write French, English, Chinese, Thai, Italian, Russian and Spanish.
President Ho Chi Minh was an activist in international communism to liberate all countries from the yoke of both old and new colonialism, and closely followed the actions of Lao partisans in the revolution to overthrow the old colonial regime prior to the establishment of the leadership of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party.
Fighting spread across the nation in the 1920s, during which time Ho Chi Minh visited Xiengvang village in Nongbok district, Khammuan province, to stay informed of the situation. In the same period, Ho Chi Minh visited Udon Thani and Nong Khai provinces in Thailand, gathering Lao revolutionaries there to give direction on how to fight and unite the Lao people throughout their country.
On February 3, 1930, Ho Chi Minh established the Indochina Communist Party, advising Laos to follow suit and assemble their own committee to lead the Lao revolution.
His advice was acted upon in 1934 when a conference was held on Don Xingxou island in Vientiane to establish the Khaen Lao Party Committee.
Later, at the 2nd Congress of the Indochina Communist Party in 1951, Ho Chi Minh suggested that Cambodia and Laos establish their own parties by adhering to Marxist-Leninist theory.
In future years as Vietnamese President, Ho Chi Minh continued to advise leading Vietnamese officials and the people of his country to support the Lao revolution in all fields.
In reference to achieving victory over both old and new colonialism, President Ho Chi Minh said “If the Lao revolution is not victorious and the colonialists do not leave Laos, the Vietnamese revolution and Vietnam itself will no longer exist.”
Lao leaders including President Souphanouvong and President Kaysone Phomvihane worked with President Ho Chi Minh in the long fight against foreign aggressors to release their country from servitude and achieve independence as did the leaders of the Indochina countries.
NANNING-HANOI by rail! Easiest rail border crossing ever, or were online reports correct?
This overnight rail journey was the crossing I was most worried about, having read some scary reports online. After one last look around Nanning, I boarded the Chinese train across the China-Vietnam border to Hanoi. I end up at a very quiet station 5km from the city centre.
