Miss World 2010 getting ready for a flying startNext year, on 6 November 2010, the 60th Miss World pageant will be held in Vietnam in either Nha Trang or My Tho (in the Mekong Delta).

While the official venue is still to be announced, My Tho seems to believe that it is the front-runner and has wasted no time in hanging a banner welcoming people to the “Home of Miss World 2010”.

For those who don’t know much about My Tho, according to Wikipedia, My Tho is famous for its noodle soup, Hu Tieu My Tho, which is made from “meaty pork bones, offal such as intestines, liver, and heart and fresh shrimp, and possibly deep fried wonton”.

Regardless of the final venue, the Vietnam Swans welcome the fact that Miss World 2010 will be held in Vietnam and trust that we will get a chance to meet Australia’s contestant.

Punters will recall that when Miss Universe was held here in 2008, the Swannies had our photo taken with the Australian contestant and Miss Australia, Laura Dundovic.
