Vietnam
Perhaps what most strikes first time visitors to Vietnam is the sublime beauty of its countryside, typified by brilliant green rice fields tended by farmers in conical hats, buffaloes ridden by young children, hamlets of thatched huts surrounded by coconut groves, and thousands of kilometres of deserted sandy beaches washed by the warm azure waters of the South China Sea. Add to this some of the friendliest people you are likely to meet anywhere in the world, a 4,000 year-old culture blending both Asian and European influences and a deliciously unique cuisine and you have the perfect combination for the most exotic of destinations.

Laos
Exotic oriental temple architecture, monks in saffron robes and the mighty Mekong River are just some of the images of land-locked and laid-back Laos, the forgotten country of South East Asia. In former times the country was known as Lane Xang or the Land of a Million Elephants and today elephants can still be found living wild and working in its great forests. Laos is a country where visitors can really escape from the stresses of modern life and step back into the calm of a world dominated by Buddhism.
