Greetings!
In January, I began my travels to Indochine. My last trip to Asia was in 1998 to meet my 104 year old Grand Master Yang. I decided it was time to explore another region I had not yet traveled. My boyfriend was already in Thailand and suggested we meet in Vietnam.
So many stories to share about the beauty of the land and the people. We began in the north in Hanoi, the cultural capital, and traveled down the coast to the ancestral town of Hoi An. We went to DaNang to see the caves of Marble Mountain and home of the largest statue of Kuan Yin (the largest I have ever witnessed).

We continued on down the coastline and up to the French provincial hill town know as Da Lat. We visited monasteries, gardens and beautiful lakes and waterfalls. With our local friend, we experienced authentic Vietnam. He took us to minority tribal villages and tasted the local cuisine along the way.
The people of Vietnam have so much heart energy and that left a lasting impression.
Our last stop was Siem Reap, Cambodia to visit the temple of Angkor built in the 12 century and considered to be one of the wonders of the world.
I feel gratitude for the people of Vietnam and Cambodia. They shared warmth and kindness throughout our journey. I would love to share more stories with you when we meet!
Best Wishes,
Marti
