Good Morning Everyone (Or rather good evening on your side of the World),

Welcome to the our VietBlog. The weary traveler’s from Dr. Neal Newfield’s Social Work study abroad class arrived in Ho Chi Minh City (aka Saigon, for most people) on Wednesday evening. The trip took forever- a whole day plus a few hours, which is something to discuss in a future post.

These past few days have been incredibly fast-paced, almost too much to remember- but we will have to make sure you folks at home get the scoop on this wonderful land and the challenges it faces in the growing global community. Expect much in the coming days.

If you want to find out some more about Vietnam, Saigon, and/or human-trafficking (our subject of study) here are a list of blogs to check out:
