Already ordered and on its way - thanks for the heads up. The more I read about this region the longer my planned trip becomes. Currently I'm planning on one month in Vietnam, Hanoi to Hue to Saigon to Mekong River Delta (if time permits all of this!), then one week in Bangkok and one week in Chiang Mai. May stop for a couple of days going and coming in Seoul and/or Taipei depending on how the flights work out. Oh, wait, I also need to add time for Singapore. Geez. . . Maybe I need 2 months to finish stuffing my face with the world's most delicious cuisines
