From the crazy heat & colour of Saigon to the quieter splendour of Hanoi, Walter Mason gives us a rare, joyous & at times hilarious insight into twenty-first century Vietnam. Seduced by the beauty & charm of its people & the sensuousness of its culture, we can almost taste the little coconut cakes cooked over a fire in a smoky Can Tho kitchen, or smell the endless supplies of fresh baguettes & croissants just out of city ovens. As colourful city cafes & bars make way for visits to out-of-the-way shrines & temples, we take an impromptu visit to forbidden fortune tellers, & glimpse a little of the Cao Dai religion, made famous in Graham Greene`s The Quiet American. Escaping on impulse to a far-flung province, a brief imprisonment culminates in an invitation to local wedding celebrations. Travelling off the beaten track to far-flung villages & lesser-known towns, we cruise along the Mekong, board hopelessly overcrowded local buses or perch perilously on the back of motorbikes. Behind-the-scenes visits to Buddhist monasteries reveal a quieter & more transcendent world beyond the busy day trips of tourists. And in the process we begin to see the country through the eyes of its people. ...
