I didn’t realize how excited I am for Vietnam. I am excited to see the country behind the war. Right now whenever anyone says Vietnam, I automatically think war. By the time I leave I want that to change to a country. It is supposed to be beautiful and have delicious food.
It is my first Asian country, as well as my first communist country. I don’t really know what to expect because communism has such a negative connotation in the US. I am also really excited for shopping. There are NorthFace and other designer brands pretty much everywhere. I am ready to shop – probably a little bit too much.
I feel like there is a lot that I can learn from Vietnam. They have such a different culture and history that no one knows about because of the war. It will be interesting to see how they will treat us because of the war.
