I do think there is such a thing as 'failure', but I think it's very much a matter of individual perception. Or more to the point, what matters is an individual's own perception of their failure. I've had the experience of feeling that I've failed myself and others, and its the worst feeling I've known. Whether anyone else thought I had failed, I don't know - all that mattered was that I felt I had.

I would love to go to Vietnam. Everyone I know who has been there has really enjoyed it - rave reviews all around, from people who are quite well-travelled. The scenery alone is worth the visit, according to what I've been told.
