10 months ago“Everyone we observed seemed happy. I love Saigon!”
You’ve described the Saigon we loved too.
It’s been 16 years since we lived there, and I’m sure that everything has changed. Yet based on your post, nothing has.
And that’s the underlying beauty of Saigon, and Vietnam as a whole; both of these statements are true.
Looking forward to all your upcoming adventures and discoveries.
THIS is why Dodie especially, a child of a Holocaust survivor, can not, and will not, visit any of the concentration camp sites. It is all too graphic and horrible.

10 months agoThey are the most highly prized hardwood lumber trees in SE Asia. They grow incredibly straight for a hundred feet or more and get enormous. The biggest one we have ever seen is in Kyaing Tung, Myanmar. It was planted by a king a few hundred years ago. Locals call it "The Big Tree." It had an offspring nearby and we call that tree, "The Little Big Tree."
10 months agoMagnificent. I don’t remember ever seeing this tree.
10 months agoYay! So good to have you along with us. We flew over Japan from north to south the other night, were you two down there?
10 months agoAndrea/Bruce,
Fantastic to see you two out riding again. Enjoy your steamy adventures. We'll be following you - it's almost as good as being there!
I know.... right?!
10 months agoSawyer Minis are the best thing ever. They weigh nothing, take up little space and work fast and efficiently. What a great invention. If these had been around 50 years ago I wouldn't have been so sick in Asia all the time.
10 months agoEverything is perfect. We are very excited to be here and we love Saigon.

Wow, that would be great. And, they get so much rain here maybe it won't be a problem. I get worried because the traffic here is insane and pollution levels must be climbing each year.
