After three brief business trips to Hanoi in 1993, Pam Scott became enamoured with the city - Vietnam's intriguing capital. In 1994 she made a permanent move to Hanoi and has never looked back. What Pam discovered was a more interesting, challenging and wonderful way of life; an intriguing blend of East and West - mixed together in a uniquely Vietnamese way, like a Vietnamese spring roll filled with various fruits and vegetables and meat. Pam felt safe, unrestricted and saw no coldness towards the West by Hanoians - only warmth, friendship, curiosity and openness.
