Why Vietnam

Why Vietnam? I can answer how to get there, what to bring and possibly even where to go for a two weeks duration. But why travel to Vietnam is the more difficult question to answer.

Perhaps it is the least expected destination. Maybe I am just tired mentally. Maybe I just need to a timeout alone to think.

Somehow the charater in Colin Cheong's novel "Tangerine" came to my mind lately. The character travelled alone across Vietnam to reconnect with his friends. Through his journey, he learned to feel and empathise with people around him.

Maybe my real reason are not not too far off.
