He's been back to Vietnam as a tourist as well. He never talks about it. I can understand the silence of those who return from war.DA Cairnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14891944631357476250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6476099636163002549.post-48344701141191755752015-04-27T15:03:24.457-07:002015-04-27T15:03:24.457-07:00Have never heard of the ANZACS.

I always imagine whole football stadiums of young men dead.Sadly, there will always be wars, but I agree with you. God forbid it should ever be that bad again.DA Cairnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14891944631357476250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6476099636163002549.post-73100490796421753322015-04-26T14:05:54.367-07:002015-04-26T14:05:54.367-07:00You can ski in the Australian Alps (New South Wale...You can ski in the Australian Alps (New South Wales Victorian border) in the winter.Come on down some time.DA Cairnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14891944631357476250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6476099636163002549.post-71486493186698767802015-04-25T21:59:01.702-07:002015-04-25T21:59:01.702-07:00I'm in New Zealand so we've just celebrate...I'm in New Zealand so we've just celebrated Anzac Day too.

Is there any places with snow and skiing possibilities? Or is that only on New Zeeland?<br /><br /><a href="http://cold-as-heaven.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow"> Cold As Heaven </a><br />CA Heavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07558100567878233142noreply@blogger.com
