I do not know what to write........But i will try, take this as a journal. (not going to edit)

For the past few months, the world has been in a panic mode; fear of death and exposure of our innate xenophobic mode. Over time, we have locked it in us, a stereotype of a particular group -our assumptions of behavior, attitude, life of a group of people or individual, not trusting their views or neutral to their plights. This does begs the question, Who am I?
This is not a Jackie Chan movie, bear with me.
The past few days, I have been in self-isolation, watching TV shows, keeping up with the news and reflecting on who I am, the people around me and they ones i have lost. Yes, I have lost friends and I blew it. 
Friendship is a process, like a baby learning how to walk, trusting his/her feet to withstand the weight... through crawling and then walking. I have had friends and i try daily to make new ones, but anytime I checked who to talk, i only have four. Keeping a close circle is great, but how do i lose the old ones? distance, age, attitude, their assumptions... Oh, I lost a would be friend because I assumed, ironic huh? Moving around has turned me into a transient, thereby reducing the number of people in my life and with age, i seems to live intentionally as i grow. When people assume a thing about me, I do not correct them, thereby widening the distance between our connections.

I should be writing more, but then I am just a marooned sailor on a small island. 

Death roams around,
nature with no cure,
death to the old, 
panic to the world,

like a mirror ,
shining a reflection on us,
on
Who we are,

Vietnam; the hidden gem

Ever heard of Vietnam? I am sure if you are a follower of American movies, you would have heard about a country called Vietnam - a country with small houses and tiny men who lives on trees and underground tunnels. Yes, I refreshed your memories! Those were good movies but what if i tell you that the country is not like that? In fact, it is dubbed as the hidden gem of Southeast Asia with its 3000km coastline and jungles in the Central Highlands. If you are a lover of backpacking like me, you could take a chance and visit the country- You might be arriving at Ho Chi Minh (the western capital) or Hanoi - the Capital, either way, with your international passport you could rent a motorcyle for as low as $200 and backpack your way down south ! You could do this in 15 days or 3 months, depending on what you will like to see. Do not forget to taste the Pho noddles soup and every other tasty foods on the road. The country is safe, cheap and the people are friendly, what are you waiting for? Bo
