This review is from: Culture Shock! Vietnam (Culture Shock! A Survival Guide to Customs & Etiquette) (Paperback)

This is one of the two books I read in preparing for a 3 week stay in Vietnam. The content was right on the mark, and helpful for even this traveler. In essential tips it more than paid for itself! It is simply a must for those traveling to Vietnam.

5.0 out of 5 stars Culture Shock: Vietnam, January 13, 2000

By	Brian K. McManus (Grand Rapids, Michigan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Culture Shock! Vietnam (Culture Shock! A Survival Guide to Customs & Etiquette) (Paperback)

This book is a must for anyone planning a visit to Vietnam. My wife and I visited Hanoi three years ago and the content of this book hit the mark. It is full of practical information that is up to date and written by someone who has been there. This book will keep you from cultural mistakes that might cause you to offend someone and will help you get around the country in a smoother way. Our family is now returning to Vietnam for a four year stay and this book will be going with us!
