This very morning, I will be traveling to Vietnam for a family trip with my in-laws. I’m not too sure how good the WiFi will be so I decided to just write a whole bunch of scheduled posts just to be safe.
About the trip:
I’ve traveled to Vietnam once, maybe more than ten years ago. This was after my polytechnic school finished and before I enlisted into army. I went to Hanoi then, and I met some nice people, but overall, I was not extremely impressed with Vietnam.
I’ve had friends visit the country since then for sure, and there’s a lot of Vietnamese food that I really like. But it’s the general population of the people that get to me I think. I might look a bit too Vietnamese, and get mistaken for a local that doesn’t know his way around. That’s gotten me in a bit of mix up quite often. Perhaps now with my in-laws around, that might change up a bit. They look a lot more Chinese than me.
My father in law has been visiting Vietnam for the past few years. Before COVID, he went, and returned determined to bring us all there. Now with travel coming back to normal, he really wanted us to go as a family. We’ll be traveling together with one of Clarice’s uncles, and it’ll be interesting I think.
I’m also excited to go, and sketch a bunch of things. I have heard and seen a few nice sketches of Vietnam, and I guess I’ll add to that collection of sketches too.
