I love Vietnam ,  colourful , exciting, vibrant….these are words I might use to describe it , the people ever lovely, gentle and gracious …

We tramp the tourist trail, a pagoda here, a monument there , photo , photo ….snap , snap !  We look with our eyes , but we do not see …oh its a great country , vietnam, you should go , our rep was great , the food was , well okay ,  very cheap,  great rate to the pound .  But we dont see , we dont look , and do we really care.?
Do we really see the scars and the tears that were left behind, do we hear the tales of its people and their suffering ?  I shed a silent tear with my guide, when he tells me his story ….his eyes cannot hide his pain, and I feel it too ……”you think you might ask for some chips at dinner tonight “? …photo , Photo ,  snap , snap !
