You are right a very underappreciated country but people are really starting to take more notice of this country now as it has developed so much in the past 10 years and it's even attracted a lot of foreign investors it's Vietnam's moment to shine now.
With what you also said having the wide variance of cultures all in the same city i found that with every province i visited and this did make a huge difference when you can have that choice.
Thank you @dswigle for your kind and encouraging words and it is my plan to see more of this beautiful country in the near future 😊
