It's official, Vietnam closed to tourists since March 2020, will reopen it's borders starting March 15th. Details as to what visas will be available and their validity length are still unknown but will most likely be made public in the next few days. Vietnam is one of the last countries in Southeast Asia to open it's doors to tourism since the COVID pandemic began and borders were closed by most countries in March of 2020. This will probably help to encourage tourism within Southeast Asia overall but with vaccination requirements, the downloading and tracking on apps, as well as continued social distancing measures it will be a much different experience than the last time you were here. In this episode I'll also spin the clock back to April 2019 with a walk through Ho Chi Minh City's Co Bac/Co Giang neighborhood. Thanks again for listening and subscribing!
