DJ Bo’s real name is My Quyen. She is among the most famous females in Vietnam at present.
According to DJ Phat, who taught My Quyen for seven years, My Quyen had a serious cough but she did not see doctor. She went to the northern port city of Hai Phong to perform, without taking warm clothes with her. Her cough got more seriously and she had to take tranquillizers to be able to sleep.

My Quyen was in a coma when she was hospitalized at a clinic in Hai Phong. Doctors said that she got acute pneumonia. As the disease developed rapidly, doctor could not quickly send her to Hanoi for treatment. The DJ passed away at 7am, March 25. Her body was transported to HCM City on March 26.

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.”
― Graham Greene, The Quiet American

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.
