📸 — Saigon & Dalat, Vietnam
--
Olivier reunited with his parents after 5 months away while in Ho Chi Minh (or Saigon as they used to call it).
The Beaulieu’s decided to relive the journey of Etienne (Or ATM as the Vietnamese call him 😉), Olivier’s little brother who came to Vietnam last spring for his graduation trip.
We started off at the War Museum — and it was tough. A few words to describe the experience could be: shocking, heartbreaking and informative with no sugar coating.
It shares the detailed stories of civilians and solders with pictures, videos and published journals or newspapers.
After grounding ourselves, we ventured out and around town — it’s the Beaulieu’s first time in a big city in Asia! So the motor bikes, traffic and new ways of doing things was fun to watch. After two days there, we took a plane to Dalat to check out some fun tours, history lessons and agricultural experiences.
NOTE: The first few pictures of pictures from the war museum show some gore content. Kids, be sure to skip through to the picture of Oli walking through the garden.

The story goes two people fell in love. The man from a wealthy family, and woman from a poor. The rich family knew she couldn’t afford to buy their son so they told her to go into the forest and find a chicken with the nicest legs (true story) with the most dangly thingies on the back. So she did.
After a few days she didn’t return, so the man went to go find her. And they were never seen again. This Chicken is the symbol of their love.
