Visual Dissonance

The white statue of the Lady Buddha
    at the base of Son Tra Mountain
Watching bright screaming parasailing tourists
Overseeing selfies taken by hoards of bus riders passing through
No time to enjoy the waters she surveys
To imagine what lies on the other side
    unseen
To hear the tide
    wash in
    roll out

What would she say to us
   if we listened?

The chord remains
    unresolved

I quit a job I enjoyed at Founders Brewing Co. in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and left my family, friends, and beloved dog to join my boyfriend in moving across the world, in search of adventure and new experiences. I arrived in August 2015.

Da Nang is a growing city in Central Vietnam, right on the East Sea. And, for those who haven't been to SE Asia, it's probably not what you'd expect. For example, there's WiFi wherever you turn, and here it's referred to as the "American War".

This is where I'll try to make sense of all of it.

Thoughts and observations from a Michigander in Da Nang, Vietnam.
