All over my mind right now is a short story, if I don't count tons of homework (School's back!) But the story is still unfinished so I just go ahead and post the pictures I took from last Summer, when I was lucky enough to go back to Vietnam and travel 3 regions of my beautiful country.
The Vietnam Sweetheart will be divided into 3 posts: the North, the Middle, and the South. If I can catch your interest, there might be some more posts about the food from 3 regions.
And for now,
Enjoy.

Traditional art: Water Puppetry. I remember this was my favorite show when I was young. How much work they have done for the audience to enjoy 45 minutes of the show.

In front of one temple. I have a secret obsession with smoke in general. Magic.

I know there is this silent taboo about the North and South of Vietnam that most of the time when American folks know I'm from Vietnam, the next question they will ask is, "Which part?" To be totally open and honest, I feel a bit of insulting. Want it or not, Vietnam is officially an united country.
Just say that may be I'm too young to talk about this, or may be I don't know about Vietnam well enough, here is the fact that I can be sure of, I have many wonderful friends from all 3 regions of Vietnam (:
I'm Vietnamese, proud and loud.
With love.
