News from Hanoi, Vietnam

January is one of the best times to visit Hanoi, Vietnam , if you'd like to experience some cold weather. It is winter time and the average temperature is 17 degrees centigrade.

Professor Dr. Pete and I took the opportunity to visit Hanoi during this winter time to meet our MBA, M.Sc in HRM and DBA students and graduates.

Hanoi is an ancient city with a rich heritage. It has been the capital of Vietnam for about a thousand years and a focal point of civilization and culture. It has cradled many dynasties, imbibing unique features from each regime, evolving and growing in both size and depth. Hanoi still retains an old world charm and aura about it. Lining the walls of its many relics are legends and stories that give character to the city.
