It was a good trip to Vietnam. I would like to thank my agent, friends and readers from Vietnam for making my stay a memorable one. It was a hectic trip but their warm welcome and their eagerness to learn had turned my hectic tiring trip into an enjoyable one.

If my prediction is right Vietnam could potentially replace all other countries currently producing Edible Birds Nests to be the largest in this region in near future.
Given the geographical area it located, its natural environment with many rivers, deltas and flat lands, no doubt Vietnam is one of the best places in South East Asia to do Swiftlet farming.

What Vietnam needs now is a good Swiftlet farming Skill to make it works. Many Bhs here are not properly made due to the lack of understanding on how to build and design a good Swiftlet farm. The questions asked during my talk indicated that there are still many things the Bh owners there needs to learn. Most who had attended my talks are not new comers, they’re owners of swiftlet farms and some are pioneers. There are the regular users of Love Potion. They want to improve their Bhs to a greater height.

Even shabby built Bh could attract many birds what more if a good Bh is built there?
There are still lots to be learned. I hope I could assist them and teach them the right way to do Swiftlet farming.
The talk was held at a beautiful place in Ho Chi Minh City with good green environment that is what Vietnam landscaping is ideal for swiftlet farming. I didn’t expect so many people would attend this talk until I arrived at the venue because my agent is the one who arranged it.
The talk on “How to Use Love Potion Effectively and Swiftlet Sound” eventually went into more topics from Bh design to internal micro control which I am very sure all attendees went back with a big smile on their faces.
( Full concentration, they wouldn't want to miss a thing )
I demonstrated how to use Love Potion especially the technique of using and explained what could be use in Bh and what can’t be used. This goes on for hours until I have to stop and slow down for my translator to catch up on the translation.
( Replying to all questions in detail )
The Q & A session was an interesting one, many questions written on paper came in stacks. They knew I don’t understand Vietnamese so all questions were written on papers. At one point I have to limit the question because we were running out of time. My apology to all attendees for this, I had promised them that I will come back again soon to continue where and what we had left behind.
It was an overwhelming response and they wanted me to come again. One attendee told me “James I had spent so much money traveling to oversee for seminars but learned so little. What you have taught us today is invaluable and we learn so much”.
I told them the next time it would be more on technical aspect of Swiftlet farming. It would cover from A to Z .We will go into how many degree a swiftlet needs to take to maneuver before entering the Bh. This would help all attendees to understand the flying path which in turn helps them to design a good Swiftlet farm.

From the questions they ask, it’s clearly indicated there are still many things they need to learn and I would do my best to teach and assist them.
Good Swiftlet Farming All!
