Mitte too parast, mitte turismireisile, vaid moneks ajaks elama. Vietnam on suureparane koht lihtsalt niisama olemiseks. Kui ma moni aeg tagasi, seljakott seljas, esimest korda Vietnamisse sattusin, ahhetasin kodustele: siin on soe, sook on jumalik ja koik on nii odav!

Kas sellesse riiki on vaikese lapse ja seljakotiga turvaline ja vastutustundlik randama minna? Ootamatult avastan, et seekord pakub Vietnam tosiseid katsumusi, mis panevad proovile mu senised toekspidamised ja nii monigi kord koigutavad mu maailmaparandamise usku.
