This time last year


I can't believe a year had passed since my trip to Vietnam. This time last year, I was packing my bag and taking a 15 hour flight on Korean Air to Ho Chi Minh city.
Is it possible to be "homesick", when it's really not your home?
I've been talking about visiting Vietnam for years. I wanted to see my aunts and uncles and my nanny, who took care of me when I was growing up. I waited too long - in 2003, my nanny died from cancer. It prompted me to make the trip and I'm so glad I did.

For months, I couldn't sleep, thinking about my trip and all the things I will see and do. Once I was in Vietnam, I felt right at home.

Now I'm just obsess with all things related to Vietnam. I can't wait to make my trip again. Until we meet again...
