Part IV - Rural Colors of Asia
...East to Asia...
The third leg of the World Traveler Internship 08 was an exciting trek from Hong Kong to Vietnam!
This part of the internship was with our friends at Intrepid, who specialize in adventures that emphasize the journey, not just the destination.
China, Vietnam
This tour traversed the countryside and introduced Patrick to the rich qualities of the Chinese and Vietnamese cultures! He experienced the bright city lights of Hong Kong, the Old Quarter of Hanoi, picturesque minority villages, lush mountains and some of the friendliest people on earth!
