You have to watch if for nothing else than the scenery South of Hue, Vietnam station stop.........spectacular!    Is that really the signal system?   Some guy with a yellow or green flag at the side of the tracks in a shanty?

Not HSR or the 'lap of luxury'.  Poor country that appears to not have recovered from the war.

Never too old to have a happy childhood!

How would our 'recovery' would look if another nation had invaded us and dropped seven million tons of explosives (the total there, including Laos and Cambodia) and as many as three million people (Viet military and civilians) had died?
