Ha Long Bay, Vietnam

Ha Long Bay

Good morning Vietnam! Folks, this is the end of my blog. As you know, a roving anthropologist’s business is a solitary one requiring time to personally engage and reflect. I had hoped it might be possible to continue the blog through Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Singapore, but with Debra, my wife, and Nick, my friend, now here; it’s impossible to proceed in the same vein. We’re just having too much fun cavorting about, seeing the sights, enjoying local cuisines, and bantering with the locals for me to take my job as a roving anthropologist seriously. So from Ha Long Bay in Vietnam, one of the most beautiful places you will ever want to find yourself, made even better with the people you love, Tạm biệt! Goodbye! See you next year, wherever that might be.
