I'm back! What an amazing, enlightening trip.... Vietnam completely blew me away! The sights, the sounds, the smells, the vibrant life on the street - there is just so much to show you all and tell you about that I hardly know where to begin.
Perhaps it was the Vietnamese people that I found most fascinating.... their friendliness to strangers, their eagerness to please, their pride in their country, their industrious nature. The way they embrace modern life yet still revere their age-old traditions. The importance they place on family.
