    Ethnic travel

    Posted by bkkwoman 1 June 2008

    A great travel agency that organises small group,
    low-impact tours. We took two teenagers who thoroughly enjoyed our five-day trip around Northern Vietnam. We cycled, walked, sailed and stayed with local people. One day was spent cooking with a family in a small village in the Red delta. The trip to Bai Tu Long bay was heavenly. We met no tourists there and only saw local fishing boats. Ask for Khanh who will tailor a tour to your needs. All the guides are really friendly and soon feel like old friends - our guide was so calm and had a great sense of humour. There are tours across Vietnam including Sapa and the Mekong Delta in the South. They even managed to book our hotel in Hanoi for us which we had previously tried to contact unsuccessfully.

    KOTO (Know One Teach One) cafe

    Posted by andyhoy 16 October 2005

    We wandered into KOTO by accident on a stormy day as we sought shelter prior to visiting the Temple of Literature. What we discovered was a temple to both good food and good intentions. The restaurant trains street kids for the catering industry and serves delicious Vietnamese food - watch out for the specials board. Great service in a place that offers a great service.
