Overview
[...] "History has made Vietnam one of my favourite places... The links that you establish with people and places very often seem totally unexpected. But it is not a question of chance. It is, among other things, a question of history, of a sequence of events, "that's how it is". Once that is admitted, you can spend a lot of time trying to understand why that is how it is." (Robert Kramer)
