Plans in brief for Vietnam:
Currently Linda and I are in Ho Chi Man City, the former Saigon and heading down to Ben Tre where the first artisanal clam fishery in Asia was recently certified with the MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) certification.

Our only obstacle was the trains heading down to that [...]

We woke up and as the sun was shining though it would be a good day to get some footage of Hong Kong from the cable car. Also, we could get mages from a monastery and a big Buddha, which is on top of the mountain where the cable car ends. It would have been [...]
