I'm back in Hanoi, and passing it off as work. My friend and fellow teacher, Sarah and I have been asked to speak at a workshop in Cambodia and for a free plane ticket we'll do about anything.
We decided to take off a few weeks earlier and travel around Northern Vietnam before going to Cambodia. Thus far we've seen Ho Chi Minh's body, a sad sight inside his giant marble mausoleum surrounded by small booths and shops selling his likeness in many a fashion. Amazining how the communist leaders keep spawning such great capitalistic endeavors!
Until later I am, Melting in Vietnam
