Must Love Dogs
These 2 local Film Institute students interviewed me on the street. Then I tuned the tables on them & asked them all about Lil Otis here.
He’s a great little ambassador. Obviously, well cared for – came prepared w/ food, water, water cup, leash w/ plastic bags.
Puppy Love, ya think?

Ha Long Bay (2)By Cruise & Land
I do recommend adding pre & post and segments to a cruise for a fuller, richer experience. On the Mekong River cruise, your options would include Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Siem Reap & Ho Chi Minh City as intriguing land extensions.
