Three decades later, I'm finally coming home.
In and around Southeast Asia
It's incredible how long I've been away, growing up in Western culture with only the faintest memories of Vietnam from a brief childhood until the tender age of four. Wow, this is it! I'm finally coming home.
I anticipate it will be a very strange feeling to see my old house again. I cannot wait to see how it looks compared to the sparse glimpses from my past that I've retained all these years. If I'm lucky I might re-connect with some long lost memories. Before I do this, I must find the house. This may be a real challenge as I have no address! Surprisingly, even my mom can't remember the address. The town of Can Tho is not that big supposedly so I'm hoping it won't be too tough if I can manage to walk down every street. The few internet and guidebook maps I've found look sketchy at best.
