i love old family photos. thanks for sharing that! it's weird to see them eating at a table. my family always eats on the floor.. and back in the day, they'd use the hard bed as a table to sit and eat on.
when are you going to vietnam again (if you're still going)? my plans have changed and looks like i'll be there around tet of 2005..
im not sure still, i was thinking of summer/fall 2004, but would that be a horrible time to go? i sort of need to figure out my permanent job situation before i settle on a vacation date. i think going during tet would be a great though, so maybe tet 2005 is something to consider...
yeah, summer is quite bad because of the extreme heat. some of my family went this past summer in august and they said it was unbearable. i think the fall might be okay though.. and the winter is definitely good. last time i went was in february and the south was very warm (but bearable) and the north was chilly but bearable (you'd have to wear a jacket and a scarf, including indoors since they don't have heat indoors). lemme know when you plan to go though when you find out cuz it would be cool to maybe meet up! :) i'd love to check out vietnam with a fellow vietnamese outsider 'viet kieu' (they always seem to know you're an outsider!) i'm also going to thailand, cambodia, laos, and some of china if time and money permits..
ive never heard of the term 'viet kieu' my dad's name is kieu though! and yes we should definitely travel together if we are in vietnam at the same time :)
