Vietnam! Our unwelcomed entrance to Vietnam included two overnight buses (blasting Lao music ALL NIGHT, squishing three full grown adults into seats built for two, infants wailing away, frequent slammings on brakes, crazy downhill speed stunts, and urine/b.o. smelling locals).

Just stepping out of that air conditioned airport and into the humid warm Taiwanese morning… that is all that did it. I AM REVIVED. I didn’t know I felt like Japan was slowing dissipating my soul, that is, until I left. Being in the warm air, amidst common non-citified folk, I noticed a skip in [...]
