My wife never worries about me having a mistress because she knows that my mistress is Vietnam, and Vietnam fills
me with exquisite joy, and sometimes Vietnam breaks my heart. But then, I guess that is what mistresses do.
I have all my photos from this trip and other photos on
Phanfare .
you may see them all there however I have very little identification.
This latest trip will begin Thursday, 31 March, with a ride to Newark and the flight across Alaska, Siberia into Taipei and on to Saigon. I have
a new project which I am beginning to get support for and I have many new and old friends to meet. I will put my phone number here, for those who
are in country already, when I get to Saigon and get a sim card. After all these trips there is an excitement and at the same time I will miss
those here who I will not see for two months.
Directions to the National Millitary Cemetery
South on Rt 1 from Long Binh, Bien Hoa - Pass Vung Tau Cutoff (Big C Store), Cross Cogido River, Pass Di An Cutoff..
North on Rt 1 - Pass Thu Duc and make a u-turn at the Di An Cutoff.
Now all are heading South. Continue a short distance, Petrolimex Gas Station is on the right, In a hundred feet is
a road on your right. At the end of the road you can see the gate to the stairway up to the tomb on the hill. It
is not easy to see but it is there.
After visiting as you look at the gate from Rt 1 go to your left around the hill. You come to a cross road and
continue straight. Shortly, after a brick yard, is a gate on the right, A small building is inside. You must stop
and sign in with the officer. He is pleasent. He may ask if you have a camera and if you do say yes. He allowed
me to keep mine and also to take photos. A friend, who was with me, suggested a tip of 100,000VND for the officer
and his assistant. I gave 200,000 to the officer and he shared it with the assistant.
