I spent a week in Northern Vietnam (Hanoi, Sapa and Halong Bay). Each place provides excellent photo opportunities, but I liked Sapa the best, then Hanoi, followed by Halong Bay (Halong Bay was a bit of a disapointment because it didn't live up to all the hype, but it was still nice). Sapa was very beautiful and picturesque. You can see my photos here:<p>

My one tip is to watch out for condensation on your lens. Northern Vietnam was VERY hot and humid when I was there, and I had trouble preventing condensation from forming on the lens. I took two lenses with me: (1) cannon 17-85mm IS EFS and (2) and cannon 50 mm. I hardly used the 50mm. The 17-85 range worked out very well.

 

Happy travels.

How about removing the outliers when computing the average score. So, for example, if one of my picutures received ten "6" rankings (in my dreams) and one "3" ranking, the "3" rank would be a statisical outlier and should be "ignored" when computing the average score so that the average would be a 6.
