Vietnam














Spending six days in Vietnam was not enough, but it was something.  I saw beautiful landscapes and even more beautiful people.  People who you have no idea what they are saying but can have a full conversation through hand gestures and smiles.  People who you spend 16 hours with on a train, sharing a sleeping car, and bond with.  Who you hug when you leave each other yet you don't even know each other's names.  People who ask if you're American so they can clarify that they used to not like Americans, but now they think they're okay.  People who will hold your hand as you walk pass them in an alley way.  You don't know what is going on, but you enjoy every second of it.  These beautiful people can share so much with you when you are just passing by.  They open up their hearts to you and I thank them for everything I saw throughout those six days, everything I experienced and will never forget.
