Sephine I trust you are not missing me <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I always miss you Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will be back in a few days <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You have a mountain of mail <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It will wait <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Josie might have told you <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am on the Hue leg of my journey <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier I visited the car which was driven <\/p>\n\n\n\n
By Quang Duc to his famous death <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is a sombre exhibit given the history <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But what did amuse me was the way it was treated <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the brochure from the travel company <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Quote <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Visit the 17th-century active Buddhist monastery of Thien Mu Pagoda and see the car that belonged to Thitch Quang Duc \u2013 the monk who self-immolated in 1963 in protest against the treatment of Buddhists by the South Vietnamese regime<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a way we should be celebrating this as Vietnam is at peace <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the way some travel companies mention food and other goodies one minute <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And visits to places associated with absolute horrors the next <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Never ceases to amuse me <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But if you look at the bigger picture<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is really a sign of given the hunger<\/em> how far we can progress <\/p>\n\n\n\n I agree <\/p>\n\n\n\n I will be in Saigon in a few days and will contact you both then <\/p>\n\n\n\n Josie and I are following you around <\/p>\n\n\n\n Behave yourself <\/p>\n\n\n\n And you <\/p>\n\n\n\n I am off to Macari’s in an hour <\/p>\n\n\n\n So jealous as the coffee out here <\/p>\n\n\n\n Is nowhere near as good <\/p>\n\n\n\n x<\/p>\n\n\n\n xx<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sephine I trust you are not missing me I always miss you Joe I will be back in a few days You have a mountain of mail It will wait As Josie might have told you I am on the Hue leg of my journey Earlier I visited the car which was driven By Quang […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-36406","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36406","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36406"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36406\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36412,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36406\/revisions\/36412"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36406"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36406"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36406"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
