Namstalgia, as wartime photographer Tim Page calls it, is the more visible lingering effect of the Vietnam Syndrome. Travelers, mostly American, still flock to Vietnam expecting to see the remnants of war at every street corner. The fact is, quite fortunately, most of the visible effects of war have disappeared from the daily scene. What is left, and there is enough to, satisfy the namstalgics, will be found in museums, m preserved sites, in airports or military compounds and in geographically limited areas where unexploded ordnance is still being removed or where Agent Orange is still present.
