Videos From the Trip!

Here are some fun videos from the trip...The first one is a video that Linh, my roommate took, when we finally got off the ruins site and on a walkway back to the bus area. At first I didn't know she was taking a video, so when she asked me, "Where are we?" I gave her my honest answer: "I don't know!" This is how I feel about the whole trip, and I kind've like it! I don't know where we are or where we're going, but I don't really care - i'm just enjoying the adventure!


Here's a video of Mr. Hao telling us about "Holy Water" that the ancient Cham peoples used to drink!

Here's how you cross the street in Viet Nam! There are not crosswalks, and VERY few stoplights. Don't make eye contact with any driver - just step out in the road, and cross the street. It is the responsibility of the driver to weave around you!

And here's what it looks like driving inside a big beast of a taxi...

At the royal palace, there was a huge moat, as well as a number of large ponds. This pond was the main pond, and we happened to walk by during the Coy feeding time! The coy are huuuge!! Watching them flap all over each other is kind've strange though.

Here's a video of Halong Bay, our first major tourist excursion. The beginning shows the boat that latched onto our boat and sold us fruit, and the end shows the floating house with it's fish and seafood for sale swimming inside the front porch!

This is one of America's former air fields - today, it is one of the most toxic areas in the world. It is covered in Agent Orange. You can kind of see in the video - there are still large amounts of people living there, in the extremely toxic region. They're homes, families, businesses, and lives are rooted in this area, even though it is basically poisonous.

Here's some Hanoi rain - not as heavy as rain we saw later in Hue, but still very heavy. Everyone puts life on hold for a few minutes and waits under store overhangs until the rain passes!

This is the lovely Mr. Hao...I happened to capture a golden nugget of him saying "Holy Babies"...he says many amusing phrases!!
