 ” I would like to thank DirecTravelAsia for arranging my accomodations for my ten day stay in Saigon, Vietnam. The hotel that I stayed in was execllent and, from the time I arrived till the time I left, I felt very comfortable. I would highly recommend DiredTravelAsia to arrange tours or just accomodations for anyone wanting to travel to Vietnam or Southeast Asia.
Sincerely,"

I'm sitting in the airport in Korea on my way back to the States. I can't believe that I just finished a two month trip to the Philippines, including a ten day side trip to Vietnam. As soon as I get home I'm going to post my photos and videos. I really learned a lot about the local people and also improved my Tagalog, Cebuano and Vietnamese language skills. That's really the best way to learn a language, I feel, is to be on the ground hearing and speaking with the local people.

I am presently in HCM City, Vietnam,  after an absense of 39 years. Some things are the same and some things are different.

Same:

• Still takes the same method to cross the street. Just step out and slowly and steadily walk to the other side, letting all the vehicles go around you.
• People are still friendly and helpful.

Different:

• Not many bicycles on the street. Seems they have been replaced by scooters.
• Most everyone in the city has a cell (mobile) phone
• No more "cyclos" (bicycles with the front two wheels). Only for tourist transportation.

Will keep you updated.

Well, I’ve got the car up for sale, packing my bags and am going on another adventure. I’m gonna try my hand at teaching English in Taiwan. My dear wife, says I can go with her blessings, but she wants to stay put here in California. I’ve got wanderlust so bad I can’t hardly stand it. The plan is to sell the car to pay off the last of my debts, then I’ll be free to travel and teach, which are my passions. I’ll keep you informed.
