In June and a little bit of July, we spent about 2 weeks in Switzerland and Austria, with a jump to Scotland, but that’s a different story. This was a beautiful trip, but make no mistake, the cost of everything melted our faces off, espeically coming from Vietnam. We did a lot of hiking in…

At the end of June, we spent about 10 days in Scotland. Most of the time was spent with our friends in Aberdeen, but we did a little tour in a clockwise direction around the country, starting and ending in Edinburgh. Fort Williams Even though it was very rainy and cold, we set out on…

The second stop on our Summer tour was South Korea. We spent one week there and visited three cities: Seoul, Gyeongju, and Busan. Seoul We walked around Seoul without a guide, so I don’t know much about what we were seeing. We walked down the famous Insadong Street to Gyeongbokgung Palace and the National Folk…

Josh and I began our Summer Break tour in Ho Chi Minh City, aka Saigon. Hanoi is the Political capital of Vietnam, and Saigon is the financial and entertainment capital. Saigon is generally less conservative than Hanoi, and the air quality is usually better due to proximity to the coast and distance from China. I…

We were told that after about 4 months of living here, you get the Hanoi Hate. This is when the novelty of moving abroad wears off and all the annoying things about your new home start to get to you and you are going to be living here for a while. Fortunately for us, we…
