Dear Editor,I plan to spend a week travelling around the northern provinces of Viet Nam later this month. I have got to know your country's festive season but I am overwhelmed by all the information available on the internet and some travel agencies.

When is a dollar not a dollar

Dear Editor,

I recently returned to Viet Nam from the USA and brought US dollars with me which I received from my bank in the USA. They were all genuine dollars, each with the same value regardless of the date they were printed.

To the Editor I have a European Category A (unrestricted motorbike) licence. To drive a large motorbike in Viet Nam, I have in the past held a Vietnamese driving licence and been a fully participating member of the District 10 Motorbike Club. It was never possible for a foreigner to own a large motorbike. However, today I see large motorbikes with NN number plates, suggesting that foreigners may own large motorbikes.

Dear Madam, In regards to Viet kieu (Overseas Vietnamese) owning houses here, could you please tell me what is needed to obtain a land-use certificate and housing title? My understanding of the Decree covering the issue is that you must have a Viet Nam exemption certificate in your passport and a valid stamp from Immigration Office for three months or more, which we have.

As a frequent visitor to Viet Nam, I have learned to like this beautiful country and even more so the friendly and good-natured people. I have been coming here since 2002 and spent nearly all of my holiday time visiting different areas of the country.
