Never had I ever experienced such an abundant amount
of intense joy and sense of belonging with a group of people I had only just
recently met. Constant laughs and smiles were shared throughout the entire
trip, including our interests and love for history - with not a moment of
uncomfortable silence. There are so many moments I could recall where we all
laughed to the point where our cheeks ached and our stomachs hurt; where the
sound of our laughter was the only thing heard as it drowned out the sound of the
hustle and bustle of our surroundings.
This photo reminds me of the night we went out for
Indian food in Hue. I won’t ever forget that night; a wonderful night filled
with just bliss and positive energy throughout the hearts of all my newfound
friends. We sang and grooved to the music coming from across the street, with
nothing but smiles plastered on our faces and delicious food stuffed into our
mouths. The music was great, the food was delectable, and we were having the
time of our lives. After finishing dinner, our small party relocated onto the
streets. We embarrassed ourselves with our lack of dance skills and atrocious
singing, but it was fine, because we were having a great time and most
importantly we were all experiencing this trip together.
As we sang and danced on the streets of Hue, immense
happiness bloomed within me, feelings of joy engulfed me. Never had I
ever experienced such a blissful moment in my life. I knew then, that these
newfound friendships I have made on this short trip will last for a lifetime
and these wonderful moments will forever be remembered. Just like the whole of
this Vietnam trip, I won't ever forget that night; a night filled with blissful
energy, a euphoric moment shared.
