Kim Hong, the winner of Mrs. Congeniality title at Mrs World 2005 pageant, was a jury member at Mrs World 2008 and an organizer at Mrs World 2009 in Vietnam last November.

Marmel said that after Mrs. World 2009 was successfully held in Vietnam, countries like South Africa and China wished to host the pageant but he confirmed that whenever Vietnam is ready to organize this event, Mrs World Organisation was willing to bring it back.

“I like Vietnam and Vietnamese people very much. Vietnam and the US are too far from each other so I want to connect them through this pageant. We did it more or less at Mrs World 2009. In my heart, I always think of introducing Vietnam’s special beauty to the world,” he said.

Mrs World 2010 will take place in South Korea. Kim Hong, the representative of the company which holds the right to choose a Vietnamese representative, said her company had already begun the search.

They say "

“I can’t say what made me fall in love with Vietnam - that a woman’s voice can drug you; that everything is so intense. The colors, the taste, even the rain. Nothing like the filthy rain in London. They say whatever you’re looking for, you will find here. They say you come to Vietnam and you understand a lot in a few minutes, but the rest has got to be lived. The smell: that’s the first thing that hits you, promising everything in exchange for your soul. And the heat. Your shirt is straightaway a rag. You can hardly remember your name, or what you came to escape from. But at night, there’s a breeze. The river is beautiful. You could be forgiven for thinking there was no war; that the gunshots were fireworks; that only pleasure matters. A pipe of opium, or the touch of a girl who might tell you she loves you. And then, something happens, as you knew it would. And nothing can ever be the same again.”

Tips on Travel to Vietnam

It's always warm in Southeast Asia apart from high mountains, so leave the heavy clothing at home. Cotton and breathable fabrics are always better than synthetics -- although cotton does wrinkle a lot when traveling! December through April is roughly the dry season in that region, although it can still rain a little. December is a good time to go in terms of temperature -- cooler than in the humid summertime. Either way, wearing more clothing (shirt sleeves and long pants) is always more respectful towards the Asian culture, especially when visiting temples and rural areas.
