This album is a photolog of a three-weeks-long scientific & touristic trip in Vietnam; a country that in the last century - surpassed wars and uncertainty and unrest, being nowadays in the midst of a new battle: that of regaining the smile. The brave nation of Vietnam proves it again and again, more and more: this battle is won every day.
