Sunrise at summit of Bac Ma, Bac Ma National Park, Viet

Nam.   The profs rudely awakened us one moring at 4, and

forced us to hike 3 miles to the summit.  It was grueling, but

worth it.


Summer party at Apothacary, Mike Stoan seems to always be drinking.


Crazy Kim, Nancy, me.  I had fun traveling with Nancy, but I kinda

ditched her in Saigon after a month. Krazy Kim owns a bar and runs a

NFP org. which aims to stop the child sex trade in Viet Nam. And she

was definitely Krazy, with a K.



Drinkin' with Juice and Mike- some of the best people I've met while in Toronto.



Tying up garbage. Sunday market, Bangkok.



Guk

or Juuk, something on those lines. This fruit is the main reason why I

went to Viet Nam. I saw it in Scent of the Green Papaya before i left,

and had to experience it in real life. At the market none of the

vendors would sell it to me because they claimed it tasted bad. I

finally pursuaded one woman to sell it to me by paying twice the

original price.  And as I was carrying it back to the hotel,

people on the street kept pointing and laughing at me. Finally a woman

selling phone cards on the street corner motioned me over and told me

that it's inedible and they use it to dye rice a bright orange for

celebrations. I had so much fun with this fruit and it was well worth

the search. The seeds kind of resemble kidneys and are covered by a

slimey blood colored  flesh . AND it smells like pumpkin.



Aquarium fish for sale. Sunday Market, Bankok.
