I have always been treated badly by others. Bully and isolation have been common themes in my life. So,if anyone suggest me a better place to move to for better life,career,or,better, give me some insight into my future,i would be very grateful. Thanks!

Hi, I'm planning a trip to Vietnam in the summer holidays (I live in Australia) sometime between December (preferably after Christmas) and February. Uni begins at the start of march so I'd like to be back for that. There is 2 of us and we do have a restriction of money being students, so I was looking for cheapish flights. I looked on air Asia the other day and I found that I could get return flights from 550 which I found to be quite cheap and I've flown air Asia before so no worries, but today they have gone up to costing between 700 and 1000 return. Are they likely to go down again on air Asia? Ive heard they fluctuate. Do you know any airlines that are reliable and cheap, they don't need to be fantastic, mostly just reliable and safe. As well as this we have yet to decide where in Vietnam to go. I want to go to ho chi mihn area and visit the tunnels nearby etc and I've also heard that Hanoi is really nice, but being on opposite sides I'm unsure what to do, so some suggestions and guidance would be nice. As well we have discussed possibly travelling to another country while we are there, suggestions have been Bangkok and Cambodia, I've been to Thailand but not Bangkok so that would be interesting but as that's where my friend used to live we think Cambodia could be more interesting. Thoughts? If you could give me some ideas or suggestions for my holiday I'd be really grateful, thanks!

I'll be going to both of those places for 5 days each. Could you give me advice on what activities to do and places to see? How much spending money per day do I need for food and activities alone?

Vietnam is a country with cultural and artistic cradle of area with unique non-material culture such as water puppetry, Bac Ninh folk song... More and more tourists choose Vietnam as a tourist destination because Vietnam brings a natural beauty spread across the world's most beautiful beaches with blue sea, white sand, golden sunshine and the hospitality of local people. The beauty of Vietnam is broadening from pristine mountainous with the terraces, primitive forests to the hidden beauty of islands. Go to Vietnam, you could not ignore these attractive spot lights, such as: Halong Bay – a New 7 Wonders World Recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site since 1994 for it thousands of natural islands, Ha Long Bay is a legendary world, and one of the most magnificent scenic spots in Vietnam as well. Viewed from above, Halong Bay resembles a geographic work of art. While exploring the bay, you feel lost in a legendary world of stone islands. Halong bay is also a region of highly-concentrated biological diversity with many ecosystems of salt water-flooded forests, coral reefs, and tropical forests featuring thousands of species of animal and plant life. Over 100 years ago, the French Journalist John Rey praised Ha Long: “In the brilliant light of the tropical sun, the sea surface, dark and light, here and there in the shadow of limestone mountains, is really an indescribable, fanciful scene. Sunset looks like a flaring fire, throwing all the islands into a fairyland” Nowadays, many domestic and international politicians, poets, cultural celebrities and tourists make the same comment when they visit Halong Bay: “If you haven’t visited Ha Long Bay, you haven’t been to Viet Nam.” Sapa Sapa is a beautiful and romantic tourist town, 38km from Lao Cai City. The scenery of the Sapa region in large part reflects the relationship between the ethnic minority people and nature. This is seen especially in the paddy fields carpeting the rolling lower slopes of the Hoang Lien Mountains. The impressive physical landscape, which underlies this, has resulted from the work of the elements over thousands of years, wearing away the underlying rock. If ever asked to drop a quick comment, even the toughest person must admit the romance and peace of a magnificently cool and beautiful Sapa! Mekong Delta Elsewhere, the scenes are timeless. Early morning on the Mekong Delta brings the daily floating markets where fruit and vegetables are peddled. Everywhere the green patchwork of rice paddies stretches into the distance, broken only by the silhouette of water buffalo and conical-hatted farm workers bending down to tend the young plants. Ancient Huế The ancient former imperial capital, Hué, takes visitors back to a time of concubines and eunuchs. In every town, young women wearing the simple but feminine national dress, the ao dai, weave their way through the traffic at the controls of a motorbike. Only in Vietnam could the past and the present be encapsulated so perfectly Dalat Nature has granted Dalat a graceful beauty making it an ideal tourist destination of which landscape exudes a sweet fragrance and shows off vary colors all year round. “Listening to the noon going down in the romantic town, a Dalat-violet is filled with fog…” (written by Minh Ky, Da Cam) is lyric of a famous song about Dalat – one of the top prioritized destinations in Vietnam for its romantic and flowerful beauty. Located in the South Central Highlands of Vietnam (Lang Biang Highlands), Dalat was originally the playground of the French, and today’s “valley of love”, surrounded by cool, fresh and silently charming atmosphere.
