To be candid, I’m not one that necessarily believes that there are no ‘stupid questions’ in life. But I’m here to answer why I think that

From Nha Trang to the Ba Ho Waterfalls
Another remarkable day in Nha Trang Beach. Today, a dozen of us backpackers and expats rode on motorbikes from Nha Trang Beach to the Ba Ho Waterfalls. Last night, we all met at Guava club and took it easy with just a few drinks. It’s like Cheers here where everybody knows your name! And the drinks

Motorbiking up the coast for Seafood
You could really live like a king in these countries. It’s a temporary skewed thought, relative to perspective (and space). I hear the average income over here is about 100-200$.

We toured Dalat, Vietnam today which is a little town the French transformed years ago into their own little getaway. Call it the little Paris. Dalat is a very clean, pretty, simple colonial town. Hilly, wide and clean streets that reminded me of Berkeley. Dalat is a small town of peace & tranquility, a relief

In one Peace! Since the last post. We met the 4 awesome new friends we met while boating to dinner at our hotel. The BBQ special where you pick your own meat. I got the Squid again, YUMM, and we had a few beers. They were 2 guys from England who were school teachers traveling
