         		 Vietnam, like all of Southeast Asia, is a great place to make a top ten list of the most bizarre things you've seen on a single motorcycle -- families of seven; window pane deliveries; people sleeping; stacks of boxes warning
         		 We also traveled to Tay Ninh, outside of Saigon, to visit the Great Temple of the Caodai religion -- a tradition that merges Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Hinduism, Christianity, and modern Western philosophy!: by ivan_miral, Views[551]
         		 There's something incredibly beautiful in getting to witness a person you've never met, in a language you don't speak, dive into their heart and talk to God.: by ivan_miral, Views[516]
         		 Having emerged in the early twentieth century, Caodai (a word for God that literally means 'tower') is followed in large numbers in South Vietnam. Their prayer service was serene and powerful.: by ivan_miral, Views[499]

         		 And we learned of the aftermath of the War (Here, Unexploded Ordinance - UXO - claims another victim).: by ivan_miral, Views[3112]
         		 Stopping at one display after another, we followed the chronology of the Vietnam War (mostly focused on the events that occurred within Vietnam's borders.
