316. The Hòa Hảo Brothers

In Hòa Hảo religion they call each other member either brother or sister, therefore these two men are not actually relative. There were about five Hòa Hảo guides but I was only able to capture photos of these two.  The younger one was a trouble maker before he turned around and joined the religion. The older one was the organizer of the trip to the Forbidden mountain that I took last December.  They were very accommodating and caring on the trip, we slept at temples and the guides brought their own food supply to cook all vegetarian dishes.  They even tolled all the food supply to the base camp up on the mountain by foot.  Each place we stop they lead  us with a prayer follow with stories to keep our spirit and energy level up for the rough hide.  Without their guidance we would not have make it to the top.  Thank you for the wonderful experiences.

315. Food & Drink

On my first trip to Phú Quốc with my aunties and uncle, everyone had a great time. We stayed at a resort right on the beach, Moon's Resort. For our last night meal, we had a picnic at the resort private beach with beers and two bottles of bailey, and by the end of the night everyone was laughing so hard.

314. Phú Quốc Island

I began my journey in Vietnam with a trip to Phú Quốc island last October and here I am ending my travel in Vietnam with Phú Quốc.  (^.^)

313. Cầu Cần Thơ - Cần Thơ Bridge

On my second visit

312. Chợ Nỗi Cái Răng - Floating Market Cái Răng

Sông Hậu Giang( Bassac River), Cần Thơ, Việtnam

This is how they fish?

Chợ Nỗi Cái Răng, Cần Thơ

This market open from early dawn and end around eight or nine am.  The Mekong delta region of South Vietnam was and I believe still is the main form of transportation for the locales therefore almost every farmer has a boat.  They would transport their goods to this market for wholesale.  The item that tied to the top of the pole located in front of the boat indicates what type of product that they are selling.  During the harvest season I bet it would be very busy.

311. New Friends

@ Main Post Office, Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam

I signed up for a tour of Ho Chi Minh city with a group of colleges students.  It was part of their class activities.  They incorporated the Amazing Race challenge with the tour and the whole group divided into smaller group for the game.  This was my group, they were so sweet and welcoming. Thank you everyone for the great tour.

310. Help the Poor

Long Xuyên, Việtnam

309. At Dawn

Bãi Tắm Hoàng Hậu, Quy Nhơn, Bình Định, Việtnam

308. Prayer at Chùa Thiên Mụ

307. Hếu's Citadel

In mid-summer when hot winds from Lao blew through caused the air to be over heated and unbearable, and as the result the place was almost empty during my visit.

306. Misty

Bà Nà hills, Đà Nẵng, Việtnam

I took this photo around mid morning, because of it's high altitude the weather for this location can be vary throughout the day.  The mood of  it just reminded me to those old classic movies of the 60s.

305. Ngủ Hành Sơn - Marble Mountains - Part 2

On The Way Down

304. Ngủ Hành Sơn - Marble Mountains - Part 1

On The Way Up

Đà Nẵng, Việtnam 

I hiked up the Marble Mountains early in the morning.  It was quiet, and there were no other groups beside my group.  It has an elevator to the temple on the top of the mountain but it was not open until later.  My group included mostly of older folk and I was the youngest one, they were all in good spirit  so it helped to make the hike more enjoyable, it took us about 45 minutes to get to the top. Along the way I stopped by two temples, the top one was built inside the enclosure of the these mountains range. 

303. Remnant of War

Buôn Mê Thuột, Vietnam

I took a short walk through the center of the city before our tour bus take off to the next destination. The atmosphere felt cool and quiet just like the distanced memories of the war, that had stopped over three decades ago, to the current generation.
