Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to Vietnamese mythology, the Vietnamese people are the offspring of a dragon and a fairy, who fell in love and had a hundred children. The dragon father then ascended to the sky, leaving behind his children and his fairy wife to rule over the land. The dragon is thus a symbol of the origin, strength, and prosperity of the Vietnamese nation. In recent times, Vietnam has also shown its rising power and potential in the region and the world. Vietnam is indeed a land of the ascending dragon, a land of opportunities and adventures for both its people and its visitors. In this book, we will take you on a journey through Vietnam’s amazing attractions and share our exciting experiences during our holiday in Vietnam. As a coastal nation, Vietnam boasts captivating seaside tourist spots that will enchant travelers of all backgrounds. Additionally, Vietnam is home to the mighty Mekong River, the longest in Southeast Asia, offering extraordinary and unique experiences in its riverside cities. Popular destinations like Banana Hills and Mount Fansipan have gained global recognition, further enhancing Vietnam's appeal to a wide range of tourists. Travelers from various countries can take advantage of Vietnam's visa-free policy, allowing them to explore the country for up to 30 days without any hassle. Moreover, the Vietnamese currency, the Dong, offers an advantageous exchange rate, making Vietnam an accessible and affordable destination for travelers from all walks of life. During our first visit to Vietnam, we encountered both unforgettable and challenging situations that resonate with any traveler. On the very first day, we nearly lost our bags containing passports, wallets, and travel money, a thrilling experience that serves as a lesson for everyone. We also fell victim to restaurant scams - not once but twice. We also almost got scammed while paying for a ride-hailing service. Furthermore, our well-intentioned actions sometimes led to unforeseen consequences, creating both humorous and frustrating situations that any traveler can relate to. Vietnam is rapidly emerging as an exciting tourist destination, offering travelers from all corners of the world unique and unforgettable experiences. With its diverse attractions, visa-free entry, and favorable exchange rates, Vietnam presents itself as an enticing choice for anyone seeking adventure and discovery. Our story serves as a reminder that despite challenges, travel experiences can be amusing, enlightening, and resonate with travelers from any background. So, pack your bags and embark on an extraordinary adventure exploring Vietnam!

Book excerpt: Enter a world where money, muscle, and murder reign with three true crime books from the New York Times–bestselling author and Edgar Award finalist. Whitey’s Payback: In this collection of sixteen stories culled from his journalism career, author T. J. English reveals the violent world of crime with in-depth pieces on everything from old-school mobsters to corrupt federal agents—including the most feared gangster in Boston history (and secret FBI informant), James “Whitey” Bulger, who vanished for sixteen years before finally being brought to justice. “Hard-hitting reporting.” —Anthony Bruno, author of The Iceman The Westies: They were the gang even the Mafia thought twice about fighting—a gang of young, wild Irishmen led by cold-blooded Jimmy Coonan and his loyal gunman Mickey Featherstone who ruled Hell’s Kitchen with a bloody fist. Their savagery gave them power, but their quick rise would eventually lead to betrayal and their ultimate downfall in this tale of vengeance, ambition, and the last of the Irish Mob in New York. “A harrowing account of big city crime.” —Library Journal Born to Kill: This Edgar Award finalist chronicles the rise and fall of the infamous Born to Kill gang, a group of young Vietnamese men raised in the wasteland left by American bombs and napalm who came to New York’s Chinatown to make a new life, but instead brought death in their wake. Told from the perspective of one gang member who wanted more than a life of bloodshed and testified against his brethren, Born to Kill is a shocking account of the American Dream gone nightmarishly wrong. “Hard-hitting . . .torrid and fascinating.” —The Austin Chronicle

Download or read book The Bamboo Gulag written by Nghia M. Vo and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-04-02 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive review of the gulag system instituted in communist Vietnam explores the three-pronged approach that was used to convert the rebellious South into a full-fledged communist country after 1975. This book attempts to retrace the path of these imprisoned people from the last months of the war to their escape from Vietnam and explores the emotions that gripped them throughout their stay in the camps. Individual reactions to the camps varied depending on philosophical, emotional and moral beliefs. This reconstruction of those years serves as a memoir for all who were incarcerated in the bamboo gulags.
