I went to Vietnam in 1994. It is a beautiful, interesting and friendly
country which changes very fast. I went to the northern and central parts
of the country (based in Hanoi, Hue mainly) at a time when ,unfortunately,
I had not started to develop an interest in shells yet.
 
It seems that Nha Trang is the shell center of Vietnam. It is a pittoresque
sea side resort reachable by plane from which excursions to small islands
to snorkel and collect shells can be arranged. There is also an
oceanographic institute at Cau Da.
