Discovering VietnamMy awesome first experience of Southeast Asia

It’s not easy describing what went on inside my mind after setting foot in this marvelous country.

Using the expression Culture-shock would feel inappropriate as it seems to imply a negative experience and that is certainly not the case, but maybe you get the picture. Not understanding the language, the customs and the culture kinda puts you in a mindset of just ‘go with the flow’ and really taking in the sights, the tastes, the smells, the sounds…

Wide, standard and telephoto lenses are going to be needed, as well as plenty of memory cards and batteries, because your shutter button is going to have its ass pummeled until smoke comes out of it!*
