About Me
Here I will share my unique story as well as offering you a local tour around Saigon
The Vietnam War which was commonly known by the Vietnamese as the “American War”
The fighting was still raging up until the last day of April 30th 1975, when Saigon fell.
I had been born in the rural area South of Saigon in the Vinh Long Province.
No one really knew our real birth dates of Vietnamese Adoptees. So we were all given made up birth certificates depending on how old we looked.
I was also given the Vietnamese name of Quoc-Linh Ho. I was later told that I was named after some Vietnamese singer.
But all Vietnamese Orphans were given a name of some sort to be included in our paper work in which we had to have for the safe travel out of Vietnam before the fall of Saigon.
Adopted in Australia then later moving to New Zealand and growing up as a typical Kiwi.
Its been Over 25 years coming back and forth to Vietnam every year visiting throughout Vietnam as an ex-pat “Tourist”.
In August 2017 I returned again. But this time without a return ticket….
This is when my journey begins….
