Hey, you. You in the office. You seem stressed.
What do you want?
You want peace and quiet? You want dogs? You want the best diving in Vietnam and fresh seafood for every meal?
Done.
And history? Here's a place that summarizes in one 200 year period all the struggles and trials that Vietnamese mainlanders have gone through over thousands of years - shorter, sure, but arguably bloodier, and events just as traumatic to the national psyche in their sheer brutality and lingering impact.
You want all these things, plus boat rides, hiking, bike rides, and island-wide radio hour twice a day?
Have I got the place for you!
