Early this morning photos could be loaded up to the blogspot, but now the system has slowed down again so mama will try tomorrow to upload more pictures.

As we visit different places, we can see the influence of the Indian subcontinent, China, France, and now Britian and the US on the face of Vietnam. We visited a museum and Amar said, "How did these Indian gods get here?" Then we visit another touristic site and the Han Chinese architecture is very present.

Many people here think that Jonah is Chinese and Isaac is Vietnamese. Mama did her homework and it turns out that Jonah is Han Chinese, the majority ethnic group in China. However, Isaac is Jhuang Chinese, a minority group. It turns out that 88% of Vietnamese are of the Kinh ethnic group. Kinh in Vietnam is the same ethnic group as Zhuang in China. All that to say that: Isaac and Emma are of the same ethnic group!

We are all interconnected as human beings and all come from one person. And as mama likes to point out, somehow our family must look alike because we are all created in the image of God and we are all from one race: the human one.

Ta-ta for now,
