Insight from a Vietnam Fulbright. I cannot help but think a curious event is this life of mine." - John James Audubon. Monday, June 11, 2012. When it rains, the saigonese shine. I have been DYING to get some pictures of this, but I either never have my camera or it is raining too hard anyways to take photos. So when a 7AM rainstorm awoke me, I was thrilled to be able to get some photos from my window. Although not the best angles, they are still a hoot. Dodge-and-seek-cover" method - bottom left. Here we...

I know it is more fun to read about (and for me to write about! My quirky collisions with the culture, but my birds are in need of a post as well. I promise I did actually do work. So in case everybody forgot what I was actually doing over here, let me remind you briefly. Dr Truong (on the right! Is one of my advisers. Most of the collections ha...

Insight from a Vietnam Fulbright. I cannot help but think a curious event is this life of mine." - John James Audubon. Monday, March 26, 2012. Hà nội to hạ long. Immediately after we returned to Hanoi from Sapa on the night train (around 5AM) An and I set off for Ha Long bay on a tourist bus (about 3 hours). Needless to say, it was a groggy and whirlwind ride. Why it is called "Surprise Cave", as there is a giant rock shaped like a penis when you enter. i wish i was kidding. Bike riding in Cat Ba.

Evolution of my experience [entry #2]: opening my eyes. Well, this is going to be a super dorky post. But anyways, here it goes. As I am sure is true with most travelers, I have a minor obsession with reading books about different countries, especially. In brief, the Hmong family is resettled in America after the war and have a very sick child. There is chro...

Insight from a Vietnam Fulbright. I cannot help but think a curious event is this life of mine." - John James Audubon. Wednesday, June 20, 2012. Only in vietnam [entry #1]. Because I only have about a month left here (WOW), I am desperately trying to document all the quirky/ridiculous things in this country to share with people back home. There will (hopefully) be more similar entries to this one, so get excited. On my last trip to Hanoi, I was lucky enough to be there on Ho Chi Minh's birthday. WOOO!
