Travel show

I have watched the travel program in Thai PBS channel yesterday, they showed the train trip in Vietnam. The narrator or the host was a female, half European half Asian but she did well in the show. The host of the show will travel all around the world like a bag pack style and sometime the host will stay with the local people house instead of stay in the hotel that make more interesting for the viewer. And yesterday the show took us to Vietnam and travel from Hojimin city to Saigon by train. I felt a little bit astonished when the camera paned from inside the train cabin via the window and made us to see the scene outside while the train is moving.

In side the train, in my imagination before I thought it will be mess and cluster by the belonging of passengers or many vender's stuffs but it was not. It was tidy and looked more clean than train in Thailand. And the outside scenery was absolutely beautiful, the country side of Vietnam is awesome for the tourist. In the show, the host explained that 75% of Vietnamese people lives in the upcountry and mostly works in the farm or fishing business.

The host went to stay overnight at local people residence and having local food for dinner.

the house of the local is too small for 5 members family and the government just allowed them to own a house after wait for 10 years and by the reason is their parents's house was too small for more family members. That sound no reason for me or for people in free country that can buy anything when they can effort but there is Vietnam although they open their country for the world still the communism control the Vietnamese life. The host of the show had a beautiful time with a warm welcome form the house owner, they having good local food dinner and most made from fish and seafood.

So shame, I can't watch until the show finish because my little daughter was not well and required more attention so I leave before the end. Still, the show make me feel great to know some more information of our neighbor country.
