[text]While I was in Hanoi, I spent some time in Hoan Khiem district. Hoan Khiem is nearby the train station. I walked and thought and took photos. I was there to wait for the train that would take me home to Phan Rang. I wandered around the lake and that area. Near the lake, there is a well-known ice cream shop.

It has a clear plastic window so…

What do you produce? Q. What do you…
I got off the train in the new city. The sun was very strong. The air smelled like a coastal city. The first meal I ate was banh canh. It was pretty good. It was different than the banh canh in Da nang. I have since found that this city has a lot of different foods. I went and bought a box and some sand at the pet supply store. My cat used them. What a relief. I was afraid…
I took the train from Hanoi to Phan Rang. I had been considering going by plane, but I ended up taking the train option. I’m glad I did. I was hesitant because I thought it would be exhausting. It wasn’t too exhausting. I was in a bed. I slept or watched Youtube the whole time. The whole ride lasted 27 hours and went most of the length of Vietnam. It feels like a long distance in a way that it…
Out with the old and in with the new. It’s time for a change. I got a haircut. I look different, and I feel different too. These old clothes hold memories. It is now time to make new memories.
