Random adventures, thoughts and links from a girl who grew up in Colorado, really grew up in NYC then moved back to Colorado as an adult, only to be presented with the opportunity to live in London for a year and work. Oh the places we'll go....

The “bridge group”. Sapa, Vietnam [4 Sept 2010]
Coming off the crazy bamboo bridge in Ta Van. Katie D is in the front, our new friend and fellow-tour-taker was in the middle and Chu was in the back. The other girl we took the tour with was Vietnamese but with lighter skin and very western features and clothes. She had spent the last 10 years living in Paris and was now moving back to Hanoi to marry a Vietnamese boy. Because she looked to western, locals were surprised when she spoke flawless Vietnames.
