You·ll Eat Thai FoodThe ideal Thai meal is a harmonious blend of the spicy, the subtle, thesweet and sour. It is meant to be equally satisfying to eye, nose and
palate.
A typical meal includes a clear soup (perhaps bitter melons stuffed
with minced pork), a steamed dish (mussels in curry sauce), a fried
dish (fish with ginger), a hot salad (beef slices on a bed of lettuce,onions, chilies, mint and lemon juice) and a variety of sauces into
which food is dipped. This would be followed by sweet desserts
and/or fresh fruits. With their Buddhist background, Thais shunned the
use of large animals in big chunks.
Generally Thai curries burn intensely, but briefly, whereas other curries, with strong spices, burn for longer periods. Instead of serving
dishes in courses, a Thai meal is served all at once, permitting dinners
to enjoy complementary combinations of different tastes.

1945, during the rule of the emperors of the NguyenDynasty.

OUR TOUR WILL VISITTHE FAMOUS TUNNELSUSED DURING THE 1960s
WAR WITH THE US.
There were 120 miles of tunnels. They stretch toSaigon and went into some
American bases. They were
used to shelter an under-ground army and e ablethem to make surpriseattacks before disappearingback through camouflaged
trap doors. A trip below into them is ver y interesting but not for theclaustrophobic.

Vie tn ame se FoodPlatters of fresh, herb-filled salads, steaming bowls of brothy soups,all kinds of fish and shellfish, savory grilled meats, fragrant pots of
rice and noodles served in every imaginable way, subtle but salty fish
sauce, fiery hot chilies, sweet coconut, tart lime and the refreshing
flavors of fresh, raw herbs like mint, coriander, lemongrass and basil.
It is a cuisine of fresh, distinct ingredients, balanced but contrasting,
rather than a blurring of flavors and textures.
Compared to other Asian cuisines, the food is lighter and fresher than
Chinese bolder in flavor than Japanese and less tongue-sparingly spicy
than Thai. There are the cultural fingerprints left by decades of French
influence -- a passion for strong coffee and good baguettes, the use of
Western ingredients such as butter and certain vegetables,

PACK LIGHT
You will ver y quickly find that having a lot of luggage will be a major burden.
On the past trip, we had to add an extra hour of
time to wait for an extra local truck to carr y all theluggage from students. A local tour guide said henever saw so much.
Several students had to pay extra money for overweight luggage.
Few students got angr y with others during the trip,except over a few students who had too muchluggage and held up ever yone else.
Only pack enough clothes for 2-3 days andunderwear for 4-5 days. You can wash. If it is notessential, don¶t bring it.

Thailand. Few places in Vietnam take credit cardsand there are ver y few ATMs.
There are AMTs in Thailand but banks tack an
additional "conversion fee" onto the Visa or MasterCard currency-exchange commission. Plusthis hidden surcharge is on top of the flattransaction fees that banks often charge for ATMwithdrawals away from home.
