On the way to China and the fabulous BCI 50 anniver-
sary convention in Yangzhou I had an amazing tour in
Vietnam with a group of friends from many countries.
At our arrival in Ho Chi Min City airport we were
warmly welcomed by the Vietnam Bonsai associa-
tion and its President Mrs. Hoang Ny (Honey) with
a orchid necklace. We met many Vietnamese bonsai
artists who welcomed our group and we had an in-
teresting exchange of information. Experiences in
different countries was the topic of our conversation.
Vietnam has a high level in training bonsai and beauti-
ful collections can be seen all over the country. Bonsai
technique courses are regularly held in the headquar-
ters of Thanh Tâm bonsai school with an intense
teaching activity.
