We are home from our travels. I feel very blessed to have been a part of this trip. As I have so many exciting experiences to share with all of you I have decided to post our trip over many days. So please visit daily for the next update.
Wendy and I met Della from DellaQ, in Seattle and flew through Taipei to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. It was an over night flight and 13 hours ahead so we lost nearly half a day.
On arrival Wendy and I were blown over by all the traffic which included millions of motorbikes and bicycles carrying many outrages wares.
The noise level was also something new. Everyone honking there horns just to let you know they were there, not out of anger or frustration. You would see anything from 4 people on a bike to a complete store. I guess when that is your only mode of transportation you pack it like we would our SUV's!
The other amazing site was all the power lines. Throughout our visit I was reminded many times how we take many things for granted.
The first night Della took us to the local outdoor market for dinner. It was great we shared a few local dishes of food. We then retired to our hotel for the evening. It was good to get our heads down.

Wow! Look at all the power lines. That can't be very safe.
ReplyDeleteIt must have been culture shock that first day. I can't wait to read more.
