Ah ok, I wondered.
It's a modern looking city right? I'be been to Hanoi and it's the same...A big city full of seven million people or so...Huge. We loved the outlying areas the best though...Hal Long Bay was amazing. We'll go back.
It must have been odd for your mate to think of his time there considering now it's a modern city. Did he say much about it?
He just stood here looking over my shoulder grinning. It's so beautiful, and so far removed from his memory that he was pretty astounded.
BTW, I talked to him about the knives. We are going to work something out. The first knife I wanted to feature is now with his stepson, but he's going to have him send pictures. It's his old Navy Diver's knife. Pretty cool on any scale.
He was a Navy diver? That's very cool. I'm looking forward to it. And yeah, it certainly wouldn't look the same as he remembered in in Da Nang! :)
