On the way to Australia
From freezing Germany
to tropical Vietnam
to sticky Cambodia
back to busy Vietnam
The shoals of motorcycles
The hats and masks
The tuk tuks and the Lexuses
The street food
The street bugs
The mosquitoes
The storm in the jungle
and the bicycle ride through it
the traffic being our only light
The barely bearable heat and humidity
The unequal status
dependant on culture and looks
The state established by our predecessors
to be endured by us
Children raising children
The US dollar leading the blind
Capitalism leading Socialism
The happy hybrid
