To take adventage of the high definition material please switch the video to full screen mode (clicking the 
four arrows at the bottom right of the movie window) and choose 720p or 1080p in the settings-popup-menu (the standard resolution is 360p).This website represents a frame for a film with impressions of several points of interest of Vietnam. It has evolved from a trip across the country in August 2010. I spent three weeks in Vietnam together with my family and we tried to see as much as possible during this time (exept a chill-out period on Phú Quốc).
So what you see here is not a documentary about the life of people or a critical examination of issues with reference to the country or political situation (which - indeed - would be very interesting), what you see here are pictures of a country from a touristic point of view.
The film is splitted into six chapters, corressponding to the six locations that are portrayed. Each of these parts has a running time between five to seven minutes.
Website and film are non commercial orientated and only reproduce the impressions I had - on the other side of the world...
...and I hope you enjoy.
