Now.. some color


And so... now for some color.
Again, the sunset over the Pacific in the distance.




Black and White


Sometimes, in a world of color, there is nothing more intriguing than black and white.

Here are a few shots of black and white 'ish..

The Latest Fashion Accessory... a Python "Boa"

So, here it is... one of my 'fashion finds' from my travels to Vietnam. Travel with OAT provides lots of adventures, and here I am trying on a new accessory. Here is my Python "Boa". What is a boa? It is a long fashion scarf, generally made of fur or similar. What is a python? Well, it is a snake, found in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam.


btw.. the lump you see on the left side of the snake, was his snack, a duck. Supposedly, the snake can eat it whole, and digest it for the next two week period. video

I'll never complain about hauling goods again!

Fashion Helmets


Another fashion accessory of Vietnam that is new to me is the cycle helmet. Yes, we have helmets for our bikes and motorcycles in the States and Canada, but the ones I see here are different. Given that so many people ride motorcycles, scooters, bikes, etc., and the driving is a little hectic, I would say that the helmets are a necessity.



Try crossing the street (on foot) through a maze of cyclists and you will quickly see what I mean.
So, here are a few shots of the helmets I see, and at the end, the one I an hunting for to buy to take home.


This is the style I am looking for.... a little Burberry look.
