The Sydney Morning Herald on January 29 published an article by Brian Johnston, an Irish travel writer now based in Australia, describing Vietnam as one of the most popular travel destinations, with the number of Australian visitors to the S-shaped country surging sharply in recent years. However, he wrote that there are still many things about this endearing nation that continue to puzzle and fascinate international travellers. According to the article, one of the first things that most impressed Johnston was Vietnam’s street food, which he described as fabulous. The Irish writer was also struck by the friendliness of the Vietnamese people. However, what truly amazed him were Vietnam’s traffic skills.
