Ho Chi Minh
Vietnam
Hanoi, a northern
city near the China border has cold
winters while Ho Chi Minh in the
south has tropical weather, hot and humid. As I stepped out of the tarmac at Tan Son Nhat International Airport, the
air hugged me tightly like skin; it kept me in like clothing, warm and
comforting. I scanned the waiting area looking for a dignified diplomat in coat
and tie. Being the Philippines’ Honorary Consul-General in Ho Chi Minh, Gerry was surprisingly dressed casually in white shirt
and blue jeans. We shook hands as I started removing my winter coat. . “Welcome to Vietnam!”
Nice post. Like the map, hope to visit Vietnam sometime.
