Ten days, north to south. Elders drinking sidewalk tea in Hanoi's motorbike chaos, a foggy morning among Ha Long Bay's limestone islands, Hue's rain-soaked citadel, Hoi An's lantern-lit evenings, a river market in the Mekong Delta, Saigon's balance of speed and disorder. One country, five rhythms. The post-war generation looks rapidly forward; but the grandmother who remembers the old country still sits in the doorway, still watching.
