If you are an intrepid overseas traveller, or a Tourism student, you may have noticed that the library has recently weeded the old Lonely Planet books and has purchased new and up to date Lonely Planet books. The Book of the week this week is one such book and it is called Vietnam .
I chose Vietnam because it is becoming increasingly popular as a travel destination for Australians. I am told it is a beautiful country, with friendly, family oriented people.
The book is divided into chapters detailing Getting started (when to go, etc.), Itineraries, History, Food and Drink, The Culture, The Hill Tribes and The Environment.
It then breaks the country up into areas and describes them in detail. Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City and their surrounds
are treated in great detail with entries on eating and drinking, festivals and events, sights, entertainments,activities for children, shopping, and dangers and annoyances to name a few.
There are plenty of maps and some beautiful colour photographs. There is even a section on Vietnamese language conversation with pronunciation guides.
This book is available from Wednesday 9th at Grafton TAFE Library
