VIETNAM | Friday, 11 July 2008 | Views [517] | Comments [1]

Vietnam is amazingly beautiful.  diverse.  sad and joyful at the same time.  I've had a wonderful time here so far.  making my way from saigon to the capitol of hanoi which is where I write now.  it is very different landscape from the tropics of cambodia and thailand and the mountains really made me feel at home!  I visited the war museum in saigon which nearly brought me to tears looking at the pictures but also a strange sense of hope because of the people here, they are so kind.  if people can be kind after a tragedy like the war, then I think there really is reason to hope.  I am heading to Halong bay and the northern provence of Sapa hopefully and then a bus to Laos and then northern thailand to eand my journey before i fly.  it has gone so fast but i've seem so much, it al seems very unreal.  Hope all is well and much love!

How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

Dear Laina,

It's hard for me to express in words how I feel about your pilgrimage to Vietnam. The Vietnam experience of my generation was devastating for that country. And our country too. Your generation gives me so much hope Laina. I love you, dad
