A few weeks ago our class took a trip to Sapa and Ha Long Bay; both were incredible, but vastly different experiences. Sapa was the equivalent to a Vietnamese ski town, with the exception of actual snow. The view of the mountains was unbelievable. I had never seen terrace farming in real life before, and you can't fully appreciate it until you do. The land stretched on for acres and acres as far as the eye could see. At night, the land became a black void, inescapable. Looking from the balcony of my hotel room I stared into this abyss of nothingness for hours chatting away with my roommate. It makes you think about the last time it’s truly been dark outside. Complete darkness is hard to find in this metropolitan world, and you don't think about it until you're staring it right in the eyes, and it has already engulfed you.
