i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart)

i am never without it (anywhere i go you go, my dear;

and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)

i fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet)

i want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)

and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)


To everyone who had supported my decision to take on this incredible journey and live beyond the ordinaries of life...I appreciate your love, strength, and praise. Every step I have taken, every sight I have seen, every experience I have felt... I have carried you in my heart...I hope you have enjoyed the ride! What adventure shall we go on next time???

Farewell Vietnammmm

Thank you for coming on this amazing journey with me!!!

The Greatest Man Alive.



We had the absolute privilege to share our tour of Da Lat with this fine gentlemen from Malaysia. He was flamboyantly gay, outrageous, and hilarious. He sang show tunes on the bus and took individual photos worthy of America's Next Top Model.

Hot Pot

Another delicious traditional Vietnamese dish that I will highly recommend is the Hot Pot. All the ingredients come to you fresh at the table and you cook it yourself. It's a great hearty soup mixed with shrimp, squid, beef, pork, mushrooms, leafy greens, tofu, sprouts, noodles, and eggs. In freezing cold and rainy Da Lat this was the perfect comfort food. Went right to bed after eating this pot of goodness.

Da Lat Weekend Trip





We headed up to the central highlands of Vietnam this past weekend. Da Lat is considered to be one of Vietnam's most romantic cities...although it was quite beautiful I think it's a stretch to call it a mini Paris. The bus ride took 6 hours but the trip was filled with amazing natural beauty. The mountain roads took you along the edges of cliffs and through dense green forests. It was quite a scenic drive. From the moment we arrived in Da Lat till the moment we left it rained. And it was freaking cold!!! Nothing like the hot humidity of Saigon!!!
