The Goldilocks Effect.

It’s tough enough that the indochina peninsula has been a sweltering jungle symbol for heat and frustration for decades, but couple that with historic heights of the thermometer in recent months and what your left with is a place even the indigenous don’t want to wander outside in.… continue reading Read More

The Cold Shower I So Desire

First of all I know where your heads at on this one and your way off base. There are some rather interesting features of my new apartment here in Da Nang that makes it a bit unconventional especially to be brand new and for all other aspects very modern.… continue reading Read More

Da Nang: Return to the City of Bridges

It has been a few days since I arrived back in Da Nang and I must say it is a much different place than I left some four months ago. I was fortunate back in January and February to experience Da Nang and most of Vietnam in a mild spell of “winter”, if one can call any place and time in indochina such a word as winter.… continue reading Read More

The River Dragon Breathes Tonight.

It had been a long day at the Marble Mountains, and after a relaxing cup of coffee on the Han River, it was time to eat. We headed north up the avenue known as Đường Trần Hưng Đạo towards the apartment.… continue reading Read More

Ngũ Hành Sơn – The Marble Mountains.

When the elevator door opened, the site, I must say, was pretty impressive. I don’t know if it was the strange newness of everything to me. But I had a sense of awe almost everywhere I went in Vietnam. As I walked off the elevator, I passed by the ticket booth selling passes to return down the elevator.… continue reading Read More

The Lady of the Sea.

I have had some computer issues in my last days in Vietnam. This was mainly due to some adapter problems. To be honest, I probably could have found an adapter, but I had been so consumed by life in the young and prosperous city by the sea to be too concerned with it.… continue reading Read More

A Girl Named Xù.

As we returned home and night had fallen on the village, we arrived at a house full of guests. Friends and family visited back and forth from house to house, having a beer or maybe some tea. In every home you entered you were to light a stick of incense say a prayer and place it in the ancestral urn.… continue reading Read More

In my continuing studies and ongoing research into the country I’m calling home, if only briefly. I may occasionally add or adjust information. I have done some further digging into the country’s economic state and wanted to share some things I’ve found.… continue reading Read More

Electrified Jungle Vines, Gecko House Guests, Rodents Crashing The Dinner Party and other Curiosities in the Land of the Dragon People.

It’s hard to describe some of the things I’ve seen and experienced here in Vietnam, and thank God for giving us technology. The imagery of what I’m about to explain will be reinforced by the pictures that have illustrated my vantage point.… continue reading Read More

A Conversation About Food.

This conversation had to happen, so pull up your chair and listen closely. We’ll probably move around a lot, so try to stay with me. Vietnam is a land not for the squeamish. If sanitation is your thing, then for an entry visa, you need not apply.… continue reading Read More
