I love Saigon and Hanoi as it's interesting both culturally and cuisine-wise...
Awesome.....is there any resident FT'er expert in Vietnam? Have yet to visit this lovely country.... would be hard to fit within a 3-day weekend, given the expanse of the country.

And there's always inner Mongolia, Tibet, Bhutan, etc...
Did Phnom Penh and Angkor Wat abt 4 yrs ago. It's definitely backward, with dirt roads and smog. I think the only modern hotel at that time was the IC (PP) and Raffles Hotel (Angkor), which were quite nice IMHO. Not sure how much has changed over the years, but I did recall that they were building a new airport in anticipation for increase number of visitors.
