Road Trip

Posted in Uncategorized on January 18th, 2009 by jeremy

This afternoon we’ll be heading out of Saigon in the direction of My Tho, a province south of Saigon and in the Mekong Delta. There is no agenda, no destination, just a direction. I think it’s better this way, especially when exploring and photographing.

Towards the end of the week, we’re looking into traveling to Hoi An. We’ll take a short plane trip to Danang and hire a taxi or bus to take us the rest of the way.

Hoi An is famous for it’s old-town which hasn’t changed in hundreds of years. Also, there are beaches and tailors. Tailors that will hand-tailor any style suit with any fabric for about $110. I don’t think I’ll be buying any suits, but I may look at some pants or shirts.

For now, I’m getting ready for our excursion out of the city. Packing clothes, packing gear and doing some quick research to help me know what I’m looking at.

Safe Arrival

Posted in Uncategorized on January 17th, 2009 by jeremy

Without much hassle, I’ve arrived in Saigon and am staying with Kevin at his place in the Binh Thanh province of Ho Chi Minh City or Saigon.

I’ll post more later, but for now I need to train my body for the new time zone and get some sleep.
