Vietnam: Eyeing the Expected · Global Voices
Jose Manuel Tesoro

Virtual Doug has a mea culpa: he admits that the pictures he posts of Việt Nam are cliched; what non-Vietnamese expect to see. “This country is changing rapidly.  Very rapidly.  This is the second fastest growing economy in the world.  It is not a “backwards” country.  It is a developing country.  Obviously, there are lots of little old ladies wearing conical hats.  Equally so, there are much evidence of massive change in Việt Nam.”
