PHU QUOC PICS

as soon as i arrive in another country, even before visiting the museums or churches, I do few things : observe the people, the local street markets, the color of houses, and to savor the aromas; and then I seek out the local food, because without the experience of food I would not understand the place I'm in and its unique way of thinking....

in all these cases, I went looking for food not simply to satisfy my palate, but to experience a certain kind of culture; not only to savor a taste, but to experience enlightment, or a flash of recollection, or to understand a tradition and make it known to others..

Phu Qouc island was amazing just like the most of vietnam... i smelled, tasted, rested and watched the life that goes on in every day living there..

only a few more days here in Nam and i'm starting to get the feeling i'll be cultured shocked in the US of A... trying not to think about it all..

But then again too few to mention

I did what I had to do

And saw it through without exemption"
