Nomad Explorer on the trip in Vietnam
In December 2017, we had the honor of organizing a tour around Vietnam for a group of Kazakh businessmen, associated in a traveler association named Nomad Explorer. It is led by a well-known Kazakh entrepreneurship and education mentor - Margulan Seissembayev.
It was the group's first trip so far away from their country. This time, due to a rather tight schedule, during the eight-day trip we visited the southern and northern parts of Vietnam only, omitting its central region.
Together, we tried the delicacies of the Mekong Delta, such as the fresh spring rolls with "elephant ear" fish, and the king of Southeast Asian fruits - durian; rode through the vibrant narrow alleyways of Saigon's Chinatown and relaxed during a cruise on the picturesque Ha Long Bay. After a long walk through the tropical jungle, we reached a fabulous viewpoint in the National Park on Cat Ba Island.
Members of Nomad Explorer were very impressed with the difference between Vietnamese culture and their own, but thanks to our assurance and guidance they have done many unusual things, such as trying the infamous balut. The members have already expressed their desire to visit the rest of Southeast Asia with us.
