The country’s rice basket Vietnam is the world’s third largest exporter of rice behind India and Thailand the delta is a place rich in tradition and scenery where visitors can see the Vietnamese way of life on swirling brown waters and amid emerald green rice paddies. Many travellers take a one-day tour to visit the floating markets honeybee farms coconut workshops and pagodas that dot the land here. Another option is to explore the area slowly and take in the fascinating sights and sounds of the delta on a bicycle. To do this I booked a two-day guided tour in Ho Chi Minh City. (The myriad canals bridges and narrow roads in the delta can easily baffle the unwary adventurer… Sinhbalo Adventure Travel offers one day Mekong Delta cycling tours from S$90. Four day trips start from S$350. Price includes transport hotel tour guide meals bottles of water and bicycle.

Seoul Times – The Seoul Times – May 29, 2008
The fact that the German World 2008 will take place in May appears to be a good occasion for KGCCI to go beyond persisting images of German culture and to explore different national traditions by introducing to Korea another time-honored German festival the “Maifest” – an new food concept. Instead of offering a common restaurant area at the fair KGCCI will surprise you with a new style of dining creating an ambience that will make you believe you are attending a traditional German Maifest with its joy of having survived the icy winter days and of starting the grape-growing season. The Westin Chosun Hotel will prepare traditional German delicacies. f course you will not have to miss out on German beer either and you will certainly be able to order the famous German “Weisswurst” but this time you will dine in an different atmosphere of spring colors rather than the traditional Bavarian blue and white. All your senses will be tickled when you experience your German World lunch break. The festival includes performances of traditional German dancing and classical music.
