Ha Long Bay in northeast Vietnam consists of more than 1,600 islands and inlets.

OFFICIAL NAME: Socialist Republic of Vietnam

FORM OF GOVERNMENT: Socialist republic

CAPITAL: Hanoi

POPULATION: 97,040,334

OFFICIAL LANGUAGE: Vietnamese

MONEY: Dong

AREA: 127,123 square miles (329,247 square kilometers)

MAJOR MOUNTAIN RANGE: Annam Cordiller

MAJOR RIVERS: Mekong, Red, Ma, Perfume

Vietnam is a long, narrow nation shaped like the letter s. It is in Southeast Asia on the eastern edge of the peninsula known as Indochina. Its neighbors include China to the north and Laos and Cambodia to the west. The South China Sea lies to the east and south. The mountains of the Annam Cordillera rise over most of the western side of Vietnam, while a thousand-mile (1,600-kilometer) coastline dominates the east.

At its narrowest point, Vietnam is only 30 miles (48 kilometers) wide. Two of Vietnam's largest rivers, the Mekong in the south and the Red in the north, end at the South China Sea in huge swampy plains called deltas. These regions are home to most of the country's people and provide fertile ground to grow rice and many other crops.
Map created by National Geographic Maps

PEOPLE & CULTURE

Most Vietnamese people live in the countryside, mainly in the river delta regions of the north and south. Recently though, people have begun to move to the main cities of Ho Chi Minh (formerly Saigon) and Hanoi.

The most popular sports in Vietnam include soccer, table tennis, volleyball, and martial arts.

Vietnamese food is a blend of Chinese and Thai styles and features seafood and homegrown fruits and vegetables.

As a communist country, Vietnam has no official religion. But people are free to worship if they want to, and many follow what's called the "Three Teachings" of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism.

Vietnam's mountainous terrain, forests, wetlands, and long coastline contain many different habitats that support a great variety of wildlife. Some 270 types of mammals, 180 reptiles, 80 amphibians, and 800 bird species reside in Vietnam.

Many rare and unusual animals live in Vietnam, including giant catfish, Indochinese tigers, Saola antelopes, and Sumatran rhinos. The government has set up 30 parks and reserves to protect its animals, but their survival is in doubt because much of their habitat has been cleared for lumber or to grow crops.

Tropical forests once covered most of Vietnam, but over the past few hundred years, logging has reduced the forest cover to only about 19 percent. The government has launched a replanting program in an attempt to restore these woodlands.

GOVERNMENT & ECONOMY

Vietnam is a socialist state governed by the Communist Party of Vietnam. A president, chosen by the National Assembly, is head of state and commander of the armed forces. An appointed prime minister runs the government.

Vietnam's main exports include crude oil, seafood, rice, shoes, wooden products, machinery, electronics, coffee, and clothing. Between 1975 and the late 1980s, Vietnam traded mainly with other communist countries, but since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1990, it has expanded trade with other nations.

Vietnam's first civilizations arose in the Red River Valley some 5,000 years ago. These northern tribes flourished until 207 B.C., when their region was conquered by a Chinese lord, who established a kingdom called Nam Viet.

In 111 B.C., Nam Viet became part of the Chinese empire, which ruled the north until A.D. 939, when a Vietnamese commander named Ngo Quyen organized a revolt that drove the Chinese out. Later dynasties renamed the country Dai Viet and gradually extended their territory south. By the mid-1500s, Dai Viet was divided between rival kingdoms: the Trinh in the north and the Nguyen in the south.

In 1802, a Nguyen lord, with the help of the French, defeated the Trinh and renamed the country Vietnam. By 1890, however, France had taken over Vietnam.

Japan took control briefly during World War II, and when the war ended with Japan's defeat in 1945, Ho Chi Minh, the leader of the Vietnamese Communist Party, declared Vietnam an independent nation. French attempts to retake Vietnam led to war with the communist Vietnamese, called Viet Minh. Fighting ended in 1954 with the partition of the country into communist North and non-communist South Vietnam.In 1957, communist rebels in the south, called Viet Cong, rose up. War between the North and South ensued, and other countries, including the United States, Russia, and China, soon became involved. The fighting lasted until 1975, when the communists overran the south and took its capital, Saigon.

Food travel

There's no denying it, Australia is a melting pot of nationalities, cultures and customs. This is why we have practically every food you can think of on offer. Although we might not have a signature cultural cuisine - like Italy has its pasta or Spain has paella - Australia has no shortage of iconic snacks and unique dishes. So, we've rounded up the 25 most iconic Australian foods you have to try during your visit...

1. Vegemite Toast

You either love it or hate it, but this salty savoury spread is a national icon. For a real Aussie breakfast, pair it with avocado, salt and pepper on toast, which makes a surprisingly delicious combo.

2. Meat Pies

These hot, flaky packages are on the menu of every social party, sporting match and are even acceptable for a hearty breakfast after a big night out. Try a classic Meat Pie with tomato sauce from the local bakery or service station. Or sample one of our many, many other popular types of pies like Beef Curry Pie, Butter Chicken Pie, Chicken & Leek Pie - or any other version you can find! Pie is always a good idea in Australia.

3. Tim Tams

These much-loved chocolate-malted biscuits are now sold around the world due to their addictiveness. Do the 'Tim Tam Slam' by biting a corner off the top and opposite bottom side of the biscuit, then use it like a straw to drink a warm glass of milk or hot chocolate. You'll thank us.

4. Fairy Bread

A childhood classic at every kid's birthday party (that we still wouldn't refuse as adults), fairy bread is made from three simple ingredients: white bread, butter and hundreds and thousands (rainbow sprinkles).

5. Fish & Chips

Nothing beats fresh fish and chips, with a lemon wedge and some chicken salt, when you're down by the beach. Try the popular Australian fish barramundi, named from the Aboriginal language meaning 'large-scaled river fish' or sample some calamari rings AKA squid rings coated in crispy batter.

6. Chicken Parmigiana

Despite its Italian name, the "parma" is an Aussie pub classic that consists of a chicken schnitzel topped with tomato sauce, ham and melted cheese. Served with crunchy hot chips and a side salad barely anyone eats, the Chicken Parma is the ultimate comfort dish.

7. Pavlova

Pavlova is Australia's national dessert, made of a soft filling and crisp meringue crust, topped with whipped cream and seasonal fresh fruits like banana, passionfruit, kiwi fruit and strawberries. Australia and New Zealand have a long-running dispute over who invented the dessert - but we Aussie's claim it to be ours, regardless.

8. Lamingtons

These square sponge cakes are Australia's next most-cherished cake - often filled with jam and cream, the sponge is then coated in chocolate icing and dusted with coconut.

9. Aussie BBQ

Sausages, pork, lamb, steak, you name it - Australians sure know how to barbeque up a feast. But I'm not sure where the infamous saying "chuck a shrimp on the barbie" came from because:

A) we call them prawns

B) I've never seen an Australian actually BBQ them!

10. Golden Gaytime

Arguably Australia's most-loved ice-cream, the Golden Gaytime has a vanilla and toffee ice-cream centre, dipped in chocolate and coated in biscuit crumbs. Nothing beats one of these ice creams on a hot summer day.

11. Freddo Frogs and Caramello Koalas

These little chocolate frogs and koalas are made from the best of the best, Cadbury's Milk Chocolate. They come in a range of delish flavours like strawberry, peppermint, pineapple and popping candy, too, though the plain Freddo Frog and gooey caramel Caramello Koalas are the most iconic.

12. Pods

Pods are crunchy yet gooey bites of heaven with Mars Bar, Snickers or Twix filling. Shockingly, you'll only find them in Australia and New Zealand.

13. Snags

"Snags" or sausages are Australia's version of the USA's hotdog. Our version is simply a slice of white bread paired with a sausage and whatever sauce you fancy, and even caramelized onions if you want to be fancy. Head to the hardware store Bunnings Warehouse on the weekend to find yourself an iconic sausage sizzle.

14. Arnott's Biscuits

Arnott's is the brand responsible for our beloved Tim Tams, but they also make other favourites like Mint Slices and Tiny Teddys. Buy an assorted biscuits pack to taste all the classics. They also have a range of savoury biscuits called Shapes that come in moreish flavours like Pizza, BBQ, Cheese and Bacon, and Chicken Crimpy. Every Aussie kid knows what it's like to find a packet of Shapes or Tiny Teddies in their lunch-box, and it's still the ultimate road trip snack.

15. Fantales

These are extremely chewy caramel lollies coated in milk chocolate. The best part is their wrappers - each one comes with a different movie trivia question. It now comes in an ice cream flavour, too!

16. Caramel Slice

This treat has a simple biscuit base with soft caramel filling and a thick dark chocolate top - all the ingredients for a recipe of success. It would be un-Australian for you to not indulge in one while you're here! They're easy to find to, with most Hot Bread shops and cheap bakeries selling them for just a couple of bucks.

17. Milo

Milo is a malt drink powder which, when added to milk, makes a delicious, chocolatey, crunchy beverage. Ignore the tin's recommendation of one scoop PER serving - you'll want to add as much as possible to your glass of milk! During the cooler months, you can heat it up and enjoy a hot mug of Milo to keep you comfort.

18. Bowen Mangoes

Australia has an amazing variety of tropical fruits, especially in the summer. There's nothing better than a ripe, juicy mango to cool you down on a scorching day. We have a LOT of varieties, but the Bown - or Kensington Pride - is one of the most popular types to enjoy. There's even a giant Bowen Mango statue in Queensland, made in honour of this perfect fruit...

19. Bubble O'Bill

When a mango won't do the trick on a summer's day, you need a Bubble O'Bill. It's an amazing blend of strawberry, caramel and chocolate ice-cream on a stick and it's a classic Australian food. The ice cream is in the shape of a cowboy - Mr Bill himself - with a bubble gum ball for a nose.

20. Twisties and Cheezles

These are two types of cheesy flavoured potato chips, comparable to the likes of American Cheetos - but these Australian cheesy snacks are on a whole other level.

21. Cherry Ripe

Australia's oldest chocolate bar is one-of-a-kind. Cherry Ripe's are a long dark chocolate bar with a cherry and coconut filling. They're so popular, they now come as an ice cream, huge Cadbury Old Gold chocolate block and baked cheescake.

22. Sausage Rolls

Australian sausage rolls are another lunchtime favourite, made of sausage meat wrapped in a flaky puff pastry. Much like pies, they're perfectly paired with tomato sauce. For the vegetarians out there, the popular spinach and cheese rolls are just as good!

23. Smashed Avo

Avocado on toast is a breakfast staple among Aussies, usually sprinkled with feta cheese, pepper, salt, olive oil, sesame seeds and sometimes topped with poached eggs. You'll find it in nearly any breakfast or brunch cafe, with extravagant varietals served in each eatery

24. Chiko Rolls

Inspired by the Chinese spring roll, Chikos are a fast-food consisting of deep-frying rolls of beef, cabbage, celery and veg. They're typically eaten by surfers after a day at the beach and they're sold at most of our fish & chip shops or corner stores.

25. Kangaroo

Some might find it weird that Australians eat their national animal, but kangaroo is incredibly lean, delicious meat and is becoming increasingly common in shops and restaurants. It's low in fat and high in protein, iron and omega-3. You can buy it in fillet steaks, sausages or minced meat.

Campervan Sales & Hire Sydney Australia | Travelwheels

Australia is an incredible country to visit and furthermore there are so many dangerous animals in Australia to make your trip even more exciting! Even lawnmowers have to be careful when visiting Australia! This page is a useful guide to staying safe and understanding about the amazing amount of dangerous animals in Australia!

The list of deadly animal species is longer in Australia than on any other continent! Nevertheless, the death rate is surprisingly no higher than in Europe. It's simply necessary to get the right information in advance to plan your campervan hire holiday in Australia and stay away from danger! Travelwheels Sydney Branch staff have written this quick guide to Dangerous animals in Australia and explains what to look out for:

Poisonous spiders in Australia

There are a lot of spiders in Australia whose poison can be dangerous for humans! The Sydney Funnel Web Spider, the Redback Spider and the White-tailed Spider are all classified as toxic, even as life-threatening spider species. These are the ones to stay away from!

Redback Spider

Most common is the redback spider. It is a member of the genus Latrodectus, the widow spiders. The 10-12mm big, dangerous females are black and have a red-brownish mark on their back. The males do no harm and are not dangerous (bit like the real world!).

This spider spins its net in dark corners, such as under toilet seats, in foliage or behind cabinets. Therefore be careful when you stick your hand in such areas and shake your shoes out if they were standing outside overnight. The poison causes severe convulsions and pain, but wears off after 12 hours. Danger to life exists only if the respiratory center is affected by the symptoms of paralysis. As a result do not panic, hence the antidote is widespread and doctors are to be found in most areas. A death caused by this spider has not been recorded for a while now!

Dangerous animals in Australia check out Sydney Funnel-Web Spider!

The funnel-web spiders are aggressive creatures! Males are six times more toxic than females, which is rather uncommon in spiders! Fortunately, a bite does not always inject the lethal poison dose, so an encounter does not necessarily mean you will die! . Since the life-saving counter-poison was produced in 1980, there is no longer any death associated with this aggressive spider. Prior to this, the authorities had registered 13 deaths. However, their poison does not have the same effect on every mammal. Dogs and cats do not get affected by their bites, bandicoots (Australian marsupial) even eat funnel-web spiders.

White-tailed Spider

While the poison of the two spiders mentioned above is life-threatening, a bite of the White-tailed Spider is not a threat to life. However, these spiders are carriers of bacteria, which in turn can cause inflammation in the bite area. In all cases, a hospital should be consulted as soon as possible.

Dangerous animals in Australia - we love Spiders!

Remember not all spiders are able to kill you! Nevertheless we can understand it is hard not to be frighten by spiders as many people class then as one of the most Dangerous animals in Australia. Some people love spiders and there are so many over here which are do not live in Europe! Most of all it worth remember not all spiders are poisonous and check out the lovely looking (and very colourful) Peacock spider:

Dangerous animals in Australia - Snakes

Some snakes also belong to the group of poisonous, dangerous animals in Australia. The Inland Taipan, the most poisonous snake, is to be found in the eastern desert regions. Brown Snakes live on the east coast and have led to most deaths on this continent. Their defense tactics are the attack, so they do not retreat.

On the coast of Queensland and the Northern Territory as well as in the Kimberley region, the Coastal Taipan, a very irritable snake, and in addition will bite more than once!

You should also be aware of the Common death adder, another one of the most venomous land snakes in Australia. They lie hidden among foliage, bark or loose sand on the ground waiting for their prey. Copperhead snakes are found in Tasmania and generally in the mountainous regions of South-East Australia.

When thinking about Dangerous animals in Australia and snakes, you should also keep an eye out in the water! Australia has a number of sea snakes, and consequently (phew!) these are far less toxic than their peers on land!

Dangerous animals in Australia - how to avoid snakes advice!

The most important rule or most noteworthy bit of advice is to avoid all contact with snakes! The best way to protect yourself is by using solid, high shoes and long trousers when hiking. If a snake bite should occur, it is important to stay calm. The injured person shouldn't move much and be given medical care as soon as possible. As there is usually enough venom at the bite wound to determine the poison, the wound should not be treated by yourself in advance. If the bite is located near the limbs, it is advisable to use large elastic bandages to slow the spread over the lymph vessels.

Dangerous animals in Australia - Box jellyfish

Box jellyfish are usually located near the coast and feel most comfortable in warm waters. The tropical summer in Queensland and the climate in Western Australia and Northern Territory is therefore perfect for box jellyfish! Warnings are to be taken very seriously! First of all these box jellyfish can cause you to go into shock and therefore you can not swim and possibly drown. When the jellyfish season starts and as a result make sure you take extra precautions! Travelwheels recommends going into the water under observation and with a wet-suit. During the jellyfish season it would be reckless to go for a swim, and locally it is known as "death of a 1000 cuts", so worth staying away from these guys!

What to do if you get box jellyfish sting in Australia

First of all, under every beach warning sign for Box jellyfish will find bottles of vinegar! You might ask, "why vinegar?". One way to help with the pain is to pour vinegar over the area of skin which has the sting. Then go straight to the next life guard or supervision to get help. On many beaches in Australia in areas where box jellyfish live there are protective measures in the form of giant jellyfish nets in the water. Often as a result, there are protective wet suits available for hire as well.

Dangerous animals in Australia - Crocodiles

Australia has two types of crocodiles to make things interesting for you! First of all you have freshwater and then saltwater crocodiles. Whilst visiting Northern Queensland, Northern Territory and Western Australia during the wet season watch out! Some of these crocs are very big and can grown up to six meter long saltwater crocodiles and whilst the locals fondly call them "salties", don't let that fool you! There are plenty of warning sings up, so be careful and pay attention!

On a more positive note, the freshwater crocodiles called "Freshies" are only 2-2.5m long and are basically harmless. You should still avoid stepping on their tail as they don't like it!

Mosquito - Dangerous animals in Australia

One thing that can take people by surprise and they don't realise that a mosquito is one of the dangerous animals in Australia! A lot of people have come down with Dengue fever and this is also known dandy or breakbone or break-heart fever.

What are the symptom of Denque fever and what do you need to do about it?

Infected with denque virus you will start to feel ill about three to ten days after the bite. It will probably feel like a heavy flu like symptom, and often the discomfort disappears after about 7 days. If this sounds like what you are feeling after a bit, then Travelwheels recommends a visit to the doctor.

OFFICIAL NAME: Canada

FORM OF GOVERNMENT: Federal parliamentary state

CAPITAL: Ottawa

POPULATION: 35,881,659

OFFICIAL LANGUAGES: English, French

MONEY: Canadian dollar

AREA: 3,849,674 square miles (9,970,610 square kilometers)

MAJOR MOUNTAIN RANGES: Rockies, Coast, Laurentian

MAJOR RIVERS: St. Lawrence, Mackenzie

Canada is a vast and rugged land. From north to south it spans more than half the Northern Hemisphere. From east to west it stretches almost 4,700 miles (7,560 kilometers) across six time zones. It is the second largest country in the world, but it has only one-half of one percent of the world's population.

Canada features black-blue lakes, numerous rivers, majestic western mountains, rolling central plains, and forested eastern valleys. The Canadian Shield, a hilly region of lakes and swamps, stretches across northern Canada and has some of the oldest rocks on Earth.

Canada's far north lies in the frozen grip of the Arctic, where ice, snow, and glaciers dominate the landscape. Few trees grow here, and farming is not practical. Native Canadians, called First Nations people, live in this region by hunting and fishing.
Map created by National Geographic Maps

PEOPLE & CULTURE

In some ways Canada is many nations in one. Descendents of British and French immigrants make up about half the population. They were followed by other European and Asian immigrants. First Nations peoples make up about four percent of the population.

Inuit people live mostly in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Many Native Canadians live on their traditional lands, but many others have moved to cities across Canada. First Nations artwork is widely recognized and is seen as a symbol of Canadian culture.

Canada's remote north and extensive forests are home to wildlife, from bears, wolves, beavers, deer, mountain lions, and bighorn sheep to smaller animals like raccoons, otters, and rabbits. The country's lakes and rivers, which contain about 20 percent of all fresh water on Earth, are full of fish such as trout and salmon.

Canada's prairies in the south are home to bison and pronghorn antelope. Farther north are Canada's sprawling evergreen forests, which have lots of wildlife, including moose and black bears. Even farther north is the cold, bare tundra, where herds of caribou and musk ox live.

Canadians work hard to protect the native wildlife. Canada has 41 national parks and three marine conservation areas. Nevertheless, species like wolves, lynx, and Atlantic fish have been overhunted and overfished.

GOVERNMENT & ECONOMY

The British monarch is the head of state of Canada. The monarch is represented by a governor-general, who has very limited powers. Laws are made by Canada's elected federal government, which includes a parliament and a prime minister.

Britain's Quebec Act of 1774 granted Quebec its own legal and religious rights. Despite this concession, many Quebec citizens have long sought independence. In votes held in 1980 and 1995, Quebec decided to stay in Canada. But the second vote was very close, and the debate is still alive.

Canada has provided fish, furs, and other natural resources to the world since the 1500s. Today, it is a world leader in agricultural production, telecommunications, and energy technologies. The vast majority of Canada's exports go to the United States.

The first people to come to Canada arrived between 15,000 and 30,000 years ago across a land bridge that joined Asia and North America. Around A.D. 1000, the Viking explorer Leif Eriksson reached Newfoundland, Canada. He tried to establish a settlement, but it didn't last.

In the 16th century, French and British settlers arrived. Land disputes between farmers and fur traders led to four wars between 1689 and 1763. The final war, called the French and Indian War, left the British in control of Canada, but French influence remains strong even today.

In 1867, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick combined to form a dominion with its own government, parliament, and prime minister. Manitoba joined soon after. In 1931, Canada became an independent nation.

France has ample land area to provide habitat for a wide variety of plants and animals. More than 25 percent of its territory is covered with forest, and another 50 percent is countryside or farmland.

Lowland forests are home to deer and wild boar, while the woodlands of the Alps and Pyrenees provide refuge for rare chamois antelope, ibex, brown bears, and alpine hares, among many other species. The Mediterranean coastline is a stopover of millions of migrating African birds, including flamingos, vultures, egrets, and bee-eaters.

The French government has made a broad commitment to preserving open spaces and the wildlife they contain. About 10 percent of the country has been set aside as national or regional parklands and nature reserves.

People first came to Japan about 30,000 years ago. At the time, the main islands were connected to Siberia and Korea by bridges of dry land, so people crossed on foot. The first society, called the Jomon culture, arose about 12,000 years ago. Around the same time, the Ainu people arrived by boat from Siberia.

The Jomon and Ainu survived for thousands of years, hunting, fishing, and gathering plants. In 300 B.C., the Yayoi people came to Honshu Island from Korea and China. They were skilled weavers, tool makers, and farmers who began cultivating rice in flooded paddy fields.

In 660 B.C., Japan's first emperor, Jimmu Tenno, came to power. Emperors controlled Japan until the 12th century A.D., when military rulers, called shoguns, took control and ruled by might.

Europeans first arrived in Japan in 1543, bringing guns and Christianity. In 1635, the ruling shogun closed Japan to foreigners and forbade Japanese to travel abroad. This isolation lasted more than 200 years. In 1868, the shoguns were overthrown and emperors returned. This was a time of great change and modernization for Japan.

During World War I (1914-1917), Japan fought on the side of the U.S. But on December 7, 1941, Japan bombed the United States navy fleet at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii and the U.S. entered World War II. From 1941-1945, Japan's military leaders fought against the U.S. and the allied forces. In August 1945, the U.S. dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing about 115,000 people. Japan surrendered a few days later.
