In November 2014, we had the privilege of traveling to Vietnam as a part of our ongoing project The Touch of Sound, featuring authentic sound recordings from around the world. As a country that has significant historical impact to our parents’ generation, we have long felt compelled to travel there and learn about it from our own perspective. We found Vietnam to be a feast for the senses. Along with the country’s abundance of sounds, the people were friendly and welcoming, the food was amazing, the culture was fascinating and the sometimes dark but important history came to life. Please enjoy some of the sound highlights from our adventure.
