    Lost near Mũi Né

    What would you do if you were lost in a Vietnamese forest with no guide, gas, and a dyeing phone battery? God it was hot. Sun sweltering, blistering hot, with the temperature rising to nearly 41 degrees Celsius. The blue cloudless sky was not showing any signs that it would get any cooler. The noon day sun beat down on us in the dry and sandy climate of Mui Ne as the three of us did what we could to find shade. Our nerves were starting to get a little short and tempers were

    How to travel well in Vietnam

    I'm a born and raised Vietnamese who loves to travel in style. But when people think of travelling in Vietnam, they always seem to think cheap. Cheap hostels, cheap food, cheap services. There have been hundreds of articles about how to travel in Vietnam on a budget. But if you’re like me, and you love travelling on a budget but still get to enjoy the finer things in life, such as a hotel with a view or a fine dining experience, Vietnam can be a great destination for that as

    Điện Biên Phủ - chuyến đi tới chiến trường Verdun trong rừng sâu 65 năm sau (Phần 2)

    "Quyet Chien, Quyet Thang" Hành trang của tôi bao gồm: máy ảnh, ống kính, pin, tripod, máy thu âm, quyển sổ ghi chép những thông tin về chiến trường Điện Biên. Trước khi lên đường đến đây, tôi định quay một vài video để đưa lên Youtube, nói về chiến dịch Điện Biên Phủ với những cảnh quay từ chính nơi đây. Hoá ra, tôi sẽ dành kha khá thời gian trong chuyến đi này để quay video tài liệu mà đến giờ tôi vẫn chưa dựng xong. Hơi đói bụng, chúng tôi rời khỏi khách sạn với mong muốn

    Điện Biên Phủ - chuyến đi tới chiến trường Verdun trong rừng sâu 65 năm sau

    Khi tôi bước ra khỏi chiếc xe bus giường nằm đông đúc, phải mất một lúc tôi mới hoàn toàn tỉnh táo và nhận ra mình đang ở đâu. Mới có 5 giờ sáng nhưng bến xe bus đã đông và ồn ào lắm rồi. Người Việt thường không quan tâm lắm đến khái niệm “không gian cá nhân,” nên ai cũng tìm cách chen chúc lấy đồ, dỡ hàng ra khỏi xe.

    Teaching English in a Foreign Land

    It was like being in a bizarre zombie movie where all the zombies wanted to do was say “hello” on repeat. I did my best to greet them...

    In June of 1972, an American Air Force pilot was shot down while on a bombing mission of weapons factories outside of Hanoi. This is the story of those men and women who captured him Widow of the Captain that captured downed USAF pilot Charles A. Jackson in June of 1972. She watched as the pilot's plane was shot out of the sky by a Vietnamese MIG 21. Over the 2019 Tet holiday, I made an unannounced journey to a small village in the mountains of Vietnam.
