DECEMBER 2009: for the sake of sentamentality, im simply unable to eraze my original profile entry i wrote in 2008 before i caught travel bug. While looking at it now makes me cringe at all the evidence of my innocence and (verbal flatulence), I have an equal sense that were it to be updated/edited it would no longer represent the truth. Have a look at the map for more information as to where i travelled during/after my time in Nam and where I ended up! Enjoy!

ponchos and scary roads
am absolutely disgusted that you finally gave in and went for the yank look of the full body poncho! also your travels brings back the memories of the roads/on the edges of cliffs that took us to Croatia, and also on the train the time that the really creepy man was rubbing his legs up against us and pretending it was accidental! letter on the way to you btw

great blog, Kate
Just want you to know your blog is not going to waste. You have seen more of Vietnam that I ever have. Do you notice the dialect change when you are in central vn ? Even though they use the mostly same words, their accents are freaky. I tell you listening to the English makes more senses than the central viet. I am glad you have a nice Irish singing tone. I am holding all Irish women to that high standard of a voice from a woman I never met. So please don't embarrass your stereotype and shatter my fantasy.
