From the Bach Dang Hotel – Ho Chi Minh City Met Axel at 9:30. Was not in good spirits because of money situation and was a bit nervous at the prospect of being in another Morocco. All of a sudden I missed my girlfriend and was a bit nervous to leave Japan! We got to…… Continue reading First trip to Vietnam

E-mail to Dad 7.19.2004
Hey Dad, Nick got here just fine and doing well. He e-mailed Aunt C two daysago. From what he tells me, he had quite a nice experience in thePhilippines and got his scuba diving license. When I picked them up from the airport they both looked like your typical scruffy backpackers and completely wiped out. …… Continue reading E-mail to Dad 7.19.2004

Ronaldo, I keep forgetting to tell you about Vesta. We met up a long while back and had a great chat and drank with a few of my friends. She is a cool girl and is into Latin culture which makes her super cool. That is about the last time I spoke with her although…… Continue reading E-mail to Ron 7.16.2004
E-mail to Dad 7.14.2004
Dad: Thanks for sending me those articles. It looks like you’ve done really well for yourself and Grandpa and Grandma would be extremely proud of what someone who had trouble with math has become. I’m extremely proud to have such an intelligent father who can always show me the other side or view when problems…… Continue reading E-mail to Dad 7.14.2004

E-mail to Dad 7.2.2004
Good Morning Dad, I’m glad you like the books. I’ve been reading a lot lately about space and where exactly we are. Living abroad has done so much more for me than simply language. I’m able to understand people, their influences and mentality much better now. Getting out of one’s normal environment really makes one…… Continue reading E-mail to Dad 7.2.2004
E-mail to John K 6.17.2004 – Mt. Fuji Climb
Hello John, I have climbed Mt. Fuji and from the 5th station it will take about 6 hours depending on how many times you stop to rest. Going back down should only take about 5 to 5 and a half hours. It is very hot at the bottom and very cold at the top so…… Continue reading E-mail to John K 6.17.2004 – Mt. Fuji Climb
