In addition to descriptions of war and pain, The Mountains Sing features many descriptions of gorgeous landscapes, interesting city sights, and delicious foods. Were there any locations that you would like to visit or have visited? Any foods you would like to try or have tried?

Being a vegetarian, I was enjoyed reading about the banana leaves and different rice dishes/rice balls and how they were prepared.
I wish there were more authentic Vietnamese restaurants around where I leave so I can inquire and taste more vegetarian food items. I lived in San Francisco from 1985-1988 and I remember going to a few Vietnamese restaurants and really enjoying the food.

interestingly i visited Cambodia and Thailand and japan but avoided Viet Nam. I just somehow couldn't adjust to the idea of being a tourist in a place that had occupied so much of my coming of age as a critical anti-war thinker and activist. The images of napalm and villages being destroyed by both sides and so much death just kept me away. Knowing people who fought and died there made it hard for me to go and stay in a nice hotel (there actually is a Hanoi Hilton- which was the sarcastic name of a terrible prison camp).
