Vietnam is a beauty country though Malaysia is more developed in infrastructure base. Malaysians seem more American to me because they are more individualistic and more direct in their expression. In my opinion, Vietnam is worth the visit for the experiences, scenery and food. My family did a 2 week trip through Vietnam and Cambodia last year and we really enjoyed. Our route was Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hoian, Saigon and Siem Reap. This was a trip to remember for us, the countryside of Vietnam, the cruise in Halong, the lovely town of Hoian, the spectacular temples in Cambodia... we love all! We spent around $1300 for each person/ 2 week stay there. if anyone considering visit these 2 countries, I think this rate is very good. We booked through an agency we found in Tripadvisor, they have many positive reviews there, just google BestPrice Vietnam or BestPrice Travel, their website is on the first page.
