Links about the trip are on http://rectravel.com/din One big beer Lao to the first who uploads pictures from the trip! More news about upcoming events in the area are on http://vietnamnews.vnagency.com.vn/2...Stories/05.htm Saturday, September 13, 2003 Dien Bien Phu plans celebrations LAI CHAU — The north-western province of Lai Chau has quickly finished preparations to mark the 50th anniversary of the victory which ended the French colonialist regime in Viet Nam. The secretary of the provincial Party Committee, Trinh Long Bien, said at a press conference in Ha Noi on Tuesday the province has prepared an excellent celebration programme. It will cover the culture, history and architecture of the area. The work to upgrade and repair sites at Dien Bien Phu is nearly complete. They include the headquarters of the commanding staff in Muong Phang, the A1 and Him Lam hills, the Dien Bien Phu museum, the headquarters of the French forces, and a monument dedicated to the fallen soldiers. The 50th anniversary of the Dien Bien Phu Battle will be held on May 7, 2004. Using a phrase from the Prime Minister, many are planning a "Dien Bien Phu Tourism Year." The number of flights on the Dien Bien – Ha Noi air route will increase from four per day at present to eight next month. Home to famous historical sites and rich in ethnic minority culture, Lai Chau Province has two border gates, Ma Lu Thang and Tay Trang, which benefit from the State's economic policies. The province's GDP growth rate averaged 7.9 per cent annually between 2001 and 2003. It is likely to reach 9.2 per cent this year alone. In the first eight months of this year, the province had an import-export turnover of US$70 million. — VNS

See his report on http://mekongexpress.com/vietnam/gen...ienbienphu.htm Note the comment in the second paragraph: QUOTE They of course grow hash, etc., etc., in the hills around DBP, so there is a lot of strange stuff locally going on. Lots of folks in the town are stoned the entire day. UNQUOTE What do those local DBP guys smoke anyway? "Lai Chau Gold"? (Tony) wrote in message om... (George Moore) wrote in message . com...
