departure
The last day in Viet Nam has finally arrived for me after almost everyone has already gone and left. There are parts about the states which I look forward to seeing again–family and friends mostly. However, I have been here for so long that I do not yet want to leave this place. My future plan, if it remains constant, is to return to Viet Nam in a year and a half to two years time after graduation. There is much about this country that needs to be addressed, but I do not yet have the capacity to. At current, I see Viet Nam as one of the countries in which I will do future work in and have a residence in.
What I will remember most about this country are the people I’ve met and befriended throughout my travels and studies in this region. Secondary to the people are the unique landscapes in each region I’ve visited. One day I will return here.
Hao,
It looks like a great idea. Mom and I also plan to “retire” in Vietnam. Hiep may agree to take care of the business in Houston.

Hảo, you probably are on Korean Air flight “Welcome home to monotony” right now. But that feeling of leaving Việt Nam is such a sad one. I have learned that since coming back, no one really is that intrigued to hear stories, maybe besides your family. The people who actually do care to talk about your experiences are those who expereienced them with you. After a few days, others will just not really be interested anymore, but for you and others who experienced it with you, it will last forever.
See you tomorrow cousin. Hopefull you ain’t jet lag when you get back, because we gotta hang out when you get back. I’m bored out of my mind.
Hạc.
