Kyrgyzstan Tourist Visa Requirements
January 27th, 2010
Have you ever wanted to live the life of a true nomad? According to this post on the Matador Trip Network, in Kyrgyzstan you can do just that.The Matador writers watched a golden eagle hunt (and ate the resulting bounty for dinner), swam in the lake of Issyk Kul, and dined on local specialties like roasted yak.

They also got to witness a "dead goat polo" match firsthand. Yes, "dead goat polo" is exactly what it sounds like: polo played on horseback with a dead goat instead of a ball.

Vietnamese Visa Requirements for Business Travelers
January 19th, 2010
Although Vietnam is relatively poor overall, the country's economy has been growing rapidly over the past decade. In fact, according to Wikipedia, between 2000 and Vietnam's GDP grew at a rate of 7%, the second-fastest growth rate in the world during that time. Vietnam became a member of the World Trade Organization in 2007.
All of this means that Vietnam is increasingly becoming a destination for business travel, and it's important for travelers to know what to expect.
