Happy New Year and Goodbye 2010
2010 has been a slow and heart wrenching year however, career was in great swing, so that’s a good thing. I certainly hope 2011 would be a better year.
In the month of December, I traveled to Singapore and to Vietnam. I stayed in Singapore for 3 weeks and though it sounds like a long MIA trip, it was needed to get equal amounts of alone time and sharing my time with my best friends and sister/future brother-in-law. It was a trip that was filled with love and affection. I can’t really describe it in any words, but it sincerely was.

I then traveled to Vietnam for 6 day trip and reconcile with my parents and brother. Vietnam was a trip that made me feel that the nation was filled with suppression, fear, doubts and pain. Though meeting up with family was good, I can’t help but notice the feelings that I received. I may be empathic which I am still discovering this spiritual part of me. I did not know much about Vietnam except the fact that it went through 1 world war and 2 other terrible wars with the Japanese and French.

The minute I stepped out the plane, I was quiet and felt so much feelings. It generally is a bad habit when one feels another spirit and communicates and talk with the spirit. But generally, there is nothing to be afraid of… this I knew. The best way to counter this feeling is to detach and stay calm which is the best method to practice. Anyhow, what I felt was the nation and did my very best to live in the present which helped me a lot.
Vietnam has become one of the most popular destinations in South East Asia and we went on to exploring the south of Vietnam. Which was Hue – Hoi An – Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). The flight delays with Jetstar Pacific was horrible and the hotels in Hoi An were disappointing. It’s not the accommodation that were complaining about, but its the service that was horrendous. To me, if your planning to travel Vietnam go to Halong Bay and Hanoi instead unless you want to tailor lots of clothes then its worth the trip to Hoi An. Vietnam’s hospitality and welcoming was not very warm, unlike Thailand or any other countries I have been to. When traveling around Vietnam… do opt for the ‘motorbike riders’ - if your the adventurous type – they are just as good as any travel guides, way cheaper and way more fun to travel around Vietnam!
