Wind tombs
Angry waves surged, threatening to sweep the rocks away. The rocks wavered as if like they might sink, but it was just an illusion. “Here’s your tobacco, master!” Song said.

Meet the foreign war veteran who cleans Hanoi’s walls
A veteran of the American war in Vietnam now spends his days cleaning the walls of Hanoi and teaching English to Vietnamese students. His mission to rid Hanoi of advertisements posted illegally on public walls has inspired local youths and hundreds of his students to do the same. Over the past month, residents of Nguyen Ngoc Vu Street in Hanoi’s Cau Giay District have spotted a strange ‘Westerner’ diligently removing posters from local walls, regardless of the weather. The man’s name is Paul George Harding, a 69-year-old American who has found purpose in his new home, in a country he once fought against. His mission is simple: if every Hanoian spend some time to remove a single poster every day, the city’s walls would be beautiful in no time. An apology through action Paul first came to Vietnam in 1969 as a soldier during the American war in Vietnam, where he served … [Read more...] about Meet the foreign war veteran who cleans Hanoi’s walls
