A powerful earthquake hit central Myanmar. Its effects were also recorded in Thailand and Vietnam.

Was going through some old photos recently and came across this one from my 2013 trip to Vietnam for a cousin's wedding. This is probably one of my favourites for the composition and colours.

Damn, 12 years has flown by. I really need to go back again sometime soon, it's fairly overdue. I miss the place.

In #Vietnam, more than 160 political prisoners are currently locked up simply for exercising their basic rights.

Basically this was the view I was after in North Vietnam. The Quay Son river, with its aqua waters, winds through the countryside and between the karst mountains. We left at 3am to get there at sunrise

This evening's viewing distraction: a revisit to Coppola's remarkable Apocalypse Now.

That opening alone is still an amazing bit of cinema, the jungle view erupting into flame as the Doors play, the helicopter sounds seguing into a roof fan in a hotel... Genius.

"In mid-February, Trump administration leaders received a desperate warning from their diplomats posted in Vietnam, one of the most important American partners in Asia.

Workers were in the middle of cleaning up the site of an enormous chemical spill, the Bien Hoa air base, when Secretary of State Marco Rubio abruptly halted all foreign aid funding. The shutdown left exposed open pits of soil contaminated with dioxin, the deadly byproduct of Agent Orange, which the American military sprayed across large swaths of the country during the Vietnam War. After Rubio’s orders to stop work, the cleanup crews were forced to abandon the site, and, for weeks, all that was covering the contaminated dirt were tarps, which at one point blew off in the wind.

And even more pressing, the officials warned in a Feb. 14 letter obtained by ProPublica, Vietnam is on the verge of its rainy season, when torrential downpours are common. With enough rain, they said, soil contaminated with dioxin could flood into nearby communities, poisoning their food supplies.

Hundreds of thousands of people live around the Bien Hoa air base, and some of their homes abut the site’s perimeter fence, just yards from the contaminated areas. And less than 1,500 feet away is a major river that flows into Ho Chi Minh City, population 9 million.

“Simply put,” the officials added, “we are quickly heading toward an environmental and life-threatening catastrophe.”"

They received no response from Washington, according to three people familiar with the situation.

Instead, Rubio and Peter Marocco, another top Trump appointee, have not only ordered the work to stop, but they also have frozen more than $1 million in payments for work already completed by the contractors the U.S. hired."

For months now, I have been calling the new president, Agent Orange, and now this...

Trump Halted an Agent Orange Cleanup. That Puts Hundreds of Thousands at Risk for Poisoning.

Diplomats in Vietnam warned Washington that halting USAID’s efforts to clean up the massive deposit of postwar pesticides would be a catastrophe for public health and relations with a key strategic partner in Asia.

During the Vietnam War, Pierre Trudeau famously welcomed American draft dodgers and conscientious objectors to Canada. It created many (unique!) communities in this country that continue to be unique and valuable to this day.

Should Canada actively welcome American immigrants/refugees, or is it different this time?
