Sleeping in the Saigon Airport
I wrote a review on another website about staying at the Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) Airport overnight - Rather than duplicate my efforts, check it out here.
Change is good?
I lived in Vietnam a year before my wife, kid1 and I moved to Canada. When I say I lived here, I truly did - on a farm 15km from the centre of town, working as an English teacher so I could save money and return to Canada. I never did the tourist thing here in Vietnam while I was here, never had the time. In that year, driving up and down that highway into town everyday, walking around the farming village and eating tons of local food, I made a lot of observations. Vietnam is a developing country, the things we take for granted in Canada often just don't exist here. They have many conveniences that we have of course (like cell phones - but many people don't have smart phones yet) but its a mixed bag of what you see and don't have any access to (like frozen foods - only exist in the city at the large supermarkets and I don't know if a lot of people cook with them yet)
A lot has changed in 6 years (of course). In just the farming neighbourhood that my wife grew up in, there are far less wooden shacks. There were houses that didn't have doors, they now have doors and windows. Quite a few places have sattelite dishes, including our own houses - channels include Disney and CNN/BBC. Prosperity is starting to happen. Its still a hard life compared to Canada, but things are changing.
The biggest change for me though is that I can't see the stars anymore. 5 years ago, the farm had the best stars I've ever seen. Now, you can hardly make out the bright stars. This surprises me a lot, that development happened that quickly and that the light pollution encroached so much. But the nearest town (Dien Khahn) has grown so much. There are even traffic lights on the main highway now. Nobody really obeys them and they are not in places that make much sense. One of the major intersections in the country doesn't have lights but intersections with minor country roads do... But that's just Vietnam.
In Nha Trang city, tall, chain hotels are becoming the norm. And they are crowding out the road along the beach. They are starting to build more on the beach, which I think is very disappointing. Having an open beach like they do in Nha Trang is one of the main attractions to this beach within the city. Knowing Vietnam, there probably isn't a followed master plan, prime real estate will just go to the highest bidder.
There are a lot more Russian signs compared to 5 years ago. Quite a few more Vietnamese visiting the beach areas too. Garbage is more prevalent. To be honest, Nha Trang is starting to look more and more like Taiwan - industrialized but still very Asian.
My wish for Vietnam is that development is taken in a sustainable fashion. They really need to pay attention to the garbage and pollution- this will have lasting consequences if they don't. Infrastructure is really lagging, one major 2 lane highway serves most of the country. Otherwise, Vietnam does have quite a bit going for it and I've always been optimistic for this country. A lot happened in 5 years, but they still have a long ways to go.

Taking the kids into Nha Trang
After 4 days here, we decided to take the kids into Nha Trang, a city 15 kms from the farm. Now, this doesn't seem like a lot, but that's 15km, on a motorbike, on the country's major highway (they only really have one). This makes it about a 45 minute trip. The city itself is quite nice - its a major resort city and has a beautiful beach. It also has a reputation of being a major party town...
Getting into town was alright. We took 2 bikes into town, one driven by my wife, the other by my sister in law. Sister also brought a friend. So 6 people (2 pint sized) on 2 bikes. It wasn't as bad as it sounds. Kid1 sat on the front of the bike and kid2 was in a front harness. She was alright until the end of the ride. Now, its been 5 a half years since I've been to Nha Trang, my knowledge of the city has degraded, and it has changed a lot. We found some nice beach chairs in the shade to rent (for 5 bucks). But they didn't have any washroom facilities (showers would have been handy). If we had turned left instead of right though (from where we parked our bikes), we could have rented chairs at Louisiane, a micro-brewery/restaurant/beach club. They had washrooms and shower facilities there. The beach itself was nice, its fairly clean, the water was good. It was too choppy and deep to do any swimming though. Kid1 really enjoyed playing in the sand. I was happy to show him how to build sandcastles. After supper we went to a local amusement park and kid1 really enjoyed that, although the park is very low quality. I would say that most rides do not keep up with any sort of safety code.
The biggest take away from this trip was the wife and I needed to communicate better. To be honest, our lack of communication constituted an epic fail when it came to trying to find supper. I wanted kid1 to have some western food and instead of taking him to a proper burger place (there are some in Nha Trang), we ended up at a bar and the burger patty was inedible. It also cost us 10 bucks for the burger and 3 pops. The bar, was a bar. Not exactly the best place to take a family, although it was early so the drunks were not out yet. My wife and I recognize that we had a communication break down and we both really have to work on telling the other what we are expecting. We both have to listen to each other as well.
We got home and both kids were exhausted. Since there were no shower facilities, both kids needed a shower when they got home. Kid1 finally got to eat something at 7:30pm. I definitely want to head back to the beach (and bring some buckets and shovels with us, the sand is wonderful to play with) but I'm not that sure about taking the kids on the bike again. Kid2 was squirmy on the ride home until she fell asleep. Kid1 also wanted to sleep on the bike and that was harder to manage when he is riding on the front of the bike. We will be rethinking this one...

The story thus far
We decided on traveling to Vietnam last September. Things in our life moved in a particular direction that provided us with the time, money and ability to make the trip. We picked the beginning of March very intentionally - just after New Year so prices were lower, the weather isn't too hot here yet and we're escaping some of Alberta's winter. I have to admit, when I booked the ticket, I was thinking I also needed to book a trip to the shrink as well - 2 kids, aged 5 and 1. Kid1 has always been a good traveler (most days), but kid2 is quite young and will sometimes have a good scream in her car seat. So I really didn't know what to expect.
Well, the flight has come and gone and we've been 3 days on my wife's parent's farm in south central Vietnam, near the beach city of Nha Trang. We spent 37 hours going from the doorstep of my home in Red Deer to the farm. The Journey went... as good as it could have. We had a great route - flew from Calgary to Tokyo direct, spent 2 and a half hours in Tokyo, then direct to Saigon. Nha Trang is 450km's from Saigon (yes, its now known as Ho Chi Minh City, but Saigon is easier to type). You can take a 45 minute flight, 9 hour train ride or a 12 hour bus ride. Any guesses which option we took? We got into Saigon at 10pm, cleared customs by 11pm. Our flight to Nha Trang left at 6am. Dad met us in Saigon. And we waited at the airport for our domestic flight. So to sum up the result of the flight - we were all exhausted at end of it, except for kid1. He slept 7 hours from Tokyo to Saigon. Kid2 slept maybe 6 hours in two days. She's one, she'll usually sleep 12 to 14... So she's still catching up and still cranky sometimes. The stay in Saigon airport was better than I expected - there is quite a bit of space in the international terminal for one to find a large spot and run the kids if they don't want to sleep (kid1 played with his toys) or easy enough to find a spot to catch some sleep (kid2 managed to catch 2 hours). Kid2 did what I expected - on flight 1 (11 hours long) she was happy and friendly. She made some friends (there was a family sitting across from us also going to Vietnam). She slept maybe 3 hours On flight 2 she was a bit cranky and slept 2 hours on a 7 hour flight. By flight 3 she was done with flying and cried for 20 minutes of the 45 minute flight. But once we got to the airport and met with her relatives, she was happy again. Kid1 lived up to his reputation as a great traveler. He kept himself occupied, we played a few games together on the tablet and he watched a bit of tv (but he's not a big tv watcher). This isn't to say that kid2 is not a great traveler, she is just 1 years old and never flown before. She also really likes routine and that got thrown out the window of course. I'm sure as she gets older she'll be pretty good - if you keep her engaged and if she gets enough sleep she is a wonderful child, her normal demenour is happy and friendly and its unusual not to see a smile on her.
So now that we are on the farm, things are going good. The grandparents are LOVING the time spent with the kids. The kids have taken right away to their grandparents. Kid2 will play strange so we thought it might take a few days before she would go to the grandparents. She was good with them in the first 2 hours. On day 2 my wife and I went for breakfast and I don't think kid2 even knew we had left. But she is still quite tired, and is resisting naps. She sleeps for 9 hours at night though. This is only day 3 though - she has to still get used to things. This could still take a week or so to happen. Kid1 has been quite low key and has put himself to bed at twice in a row - first night was at 6pm and second night (in which we had family over) was at 7:30pm. And yes, kid1 put himself to bed in the middle of a small party, and the family is not quiet. He played with his cousins for a good 2 hours though.
Its been 5 and a half years since I was last in Vietnam. First reaction - there is garbage everywhere. Its kinda disgusting. But things are getting more prosperous here. In the old farm neighbourhood my wife grew up in (and in which I lived a year in) has fewer wooden shacks, things just seem more prosperous. Its still the developing world, so things are quite poor here compared to the middle class existence we have in Canada. But I personally think that people are doing better here. So that is a good thing.
It is so good to see my wife's family again. I don't speak Vietnamese but (and I think because of) we get along quite well. Everyone is of course 5 and a half years older. Those that were kids (like my sister in law) are now grown ups and those who were babies are now kids (like my son). So far the kids around here are a bit shy and I think language is a bit of a barrier. But again, this is still early days.
Well this catches things up and sets the stage for future blogs. My wife and I are planning to head into Nha Trang tonight. Can't wait to see all the changes that have happened there.

Lets start blogging again - from Vietnam!
We are visiting my wife's family on a farm near Nha Trang, Vietnam. My son (age 5) was born here, but hasn't seen his grandparents for 3 years. This is my daughter's (age 1) first trip. Since I am living on a farm and not many people speak English around here, I might just be able to find some time to start blogging again. This also gives me a chance to record this trip, so we can look back at it years later. This is something I'm notoriously bad at. I took a year long trip 8 years ago and I think I logged 10 days of it. And I lost the log. Most things just fade into memory now.
Given that this is a public blog, I'm withholding my kid's names. Those that know them, will know who I refer to - my son I'll call kid1, and my daughter, I'll call kid2. Reference to Dr Suess is intentional. I don't know how much I'll be able to update this, but this gives me something to do while I have my Vietnamese relatives over and the kids are occupied. Feel free to comment directly on blogger or on Facebook.

Living a 'Prime Life'
Since I was 16 years old, I've been a 'theist' - a word of my own making. A theist stands in opposite to a deiest. A deiest believes in God but believe that God created the world and then it was pretty much done. Maybe a few miracles now and again, but doesn't believe that God has much to do in our day to day lives. Myself, I've always believed that God has a lot to do in our day to day lives. I have many personal examples and I could fill my blog proclaiming all the blessings I've received. That's not the point of this blog though.
Since I believe that God does play a part in our lives, it can be hard to justify the crappy things that happen in people's lives. Crappy situations exist for everyone, but some people seem to have more bad luck than others. Now, for a while I believed that everyone gets equal portions of good luck (blessings) and bad luck (challenges) in their lives. It was the individual choice what they did with their blessings and challenges and that created their outlook on life. But lately, I'm not so sure. I'm still a very strong believer in free choice and I still believe that God has a place in our lives, but some people just appear to have undeniably bad luck while others seem to just walk into blessings after blessings.
Before I write anymore a quickish disclaimer. I'm no theologian. I'm also no quantum physicist. I've watched 'What the Bleep do We Know?' and a lot of that movie made sense to me. But my understanding of quantum physics is limited. My understanding of theology is limited to what little of the Bible I read and little pieces of sermons from some priests and preachers that make sense and fit into my own set of values. I'm not writing this to convert anyone, but I am writing this to share. And this still very much a work in progress.
As a wannabe creative writer there is an idea from quantum physics that has caught my imagination. The idea that there are multiple realities that exist paralell to ours. An atom could of bumped left instead of right. I could have went to coffee today or for a walk instead. I could have stayed in Canada and developed some opportunities here instead of traveling around Asia for 4-5 years. All these possibilities could exist. It makes for good sci-fi. But does it fit spiritually?
I believe that God plays a role in our lives, but God does so in ways that ways that we may not understand. God is infinite, all powerful and all knowing. We ascribe human attributes to God because that's the only way for us to understand it. I believe that one God exists across these all multiple realities. God lets us make our choices.
Now this where I start to get a little shaky. Since there might be an infinite different possible 'me' out there, I believe that there might be one that takes the experiences of all these 'me' and uses those experiences to create a Prime Life. A prime life is someone who appears to lead a blessed life. Someone who's bread always seems to land butter side up. Now I believe that blessings are not things like being rich or being a movie star. Blessings coming in the form little things that you live your life according to your values where you reach your own personal happiness. There will be times when crappy things happen, but this all informs us and helps us to make better decisions in the future. Whether it is in this reality or perhaps it somehow informs another realitiy. I think somehow the experiences of the many different realities somehow converge and this creates a Prime Life.
Since we have no idea where this Prime Life exisits, I believe we need to live our life now, today, as the Prime Life. We need to make good decisions as best we can and help people the best we can. We need to see people who appear to be having bad luck and learn from their life. I do hope that somewhere they are experiencing a Prime Life, but my life now may not interact with their Prime. But since I am living my life now as a Prime, I hope that my example will be a witness to help them in their struggles. I believe that we can help each other. And I believe that is what God wants us to do.
This idea is my own. I just wish to share my idea. Its not fully formed. I don't read Deepak Chopra, I don't stand on a soap box on the corner of Bloor and Yonge in Toronto. My idea just is. It changes, it shifts to fit my observations of this world. If you reject all I have to say, great. I plan on posting more on my own personal experiences of trying to live a Prime Life and other thoughts I have about my different interest areas. I'm always open to thoughtful discussion.

A new vision for the Blog
I've been struggling a bit to keep this blog up to date. While I am still interested in posting about Red Deer issues, its not something that motivates me everyday. My interests are quite varied so I am planning on changing this blog to reflect that.
I changed the name (yet again) and I am going to try and post around 3 central themes - Alberta Labour Market Information (Alberta LMI); The Prime Life (I'll explain more about that in a later post) and My Community/Politics. This gives me a wide range of topics that I can post on.
The biggest problem I am having is keeping motivated. My goal is to write a blog that people will read and discuss. But the topics I have been using the last few years have just not inspired me. So I hope that by unifying my interest areas under the theme of 'Seeking Truth' I can write something that motivates me and that people will want to read.
So I am going to experiment with the blog layout a bit. So every time you check back you'll see a different lay out over the next couple of weeks. Blogger is very easy to customize, so I'm just going to experiment a bit. I hope these changes will keep you all reading and feel free to leave comments!
