Wow, so it’s been a month since I left Saigon. I can’t say time flew by. For the most part, it was laboriously boring. Lots of “woe is me” moments regarding my broken car, lack of non-parental housing and absolute absence of anything “real” to do with my time. Self-pity aside, time certainly didn’t stand still either. It feels like yesterday (or maybe two hours ago) that I was getting up to my usual tricks in the Ho. Those damn months--they seem to pass so slowly but then, all of a sudden, they’re gone. What can I say about the 18 calendar squares I spent in Saigon? Life changing, life making, great people, good food. It sounds so hollow when I try to explain how that frenetic, far away place romanced me. You just can’t explain love.
And so, I reignite my long-lost blog… While Saigon is my past, for now, it will always occupy a sunny corner of my mind. Who knows where I’m headed, but, God, I sure am grateful for where I’m coming from.
