Moving quickly in Vietnam
When I realized that I would be coming home on April 18th after all, I began to move very quickly. I am now halfway up the coast of Vietnam, and the trip has been amazing. The coastline is dramatic, with… continue reading »
Fish Sauce and Sand Dunes
I always forget how much I like moving quickly through a region. I don’t get quite the same involvement with the locals as I would if I moved slowly, but because I am stepping from one place to another with… continue reading »
Vietnam and the Cu Chi Tunnels
I have so much to update everyone on. I am now in Saigon, also called Ho Chi Min City. I am currently typing on my laptop, which is now home to an ant colony that lives just under the keyboard… continue reading »

Urghh
What a stressful day. We had a big night last night, so I got a later start than I would have liked. I made it to the Chinese embassy, which was an hour away, at noon to find out that… continue reading »
Visas, suits and cameras
So I am in Bangkok for a few days because the visas will take a while. India is a seven day visa process, and China is four. I may wait on India, because I don’t want to stay here that… continue reading »
