Hitchiking Vietnam: Letters from the Trails.
PBS will broadcast this 1-hour TV show on Tuesday 8/5/97 at 9PM Pacific
time on Public Television channel.
"This is the story of a young American woman, Karin Muller, who sets
off on a seven-month quest to find the real Vietnam, armed with just a
working knowledge of Vietnamese, a few thousand dollars, a small Hi-8
video camera and an inquisitive spirit. Muller traveled the length of
the country alone -- on foot, by motorcycle, bus, train, boat and water
buffalo -- living among the village people, learning their language,
history and traditions. It is a fascinating glimpse at a country whose
very name conjures up a flood of images and emotions, yet is
little understood." PBS.
It sounds like a great story. I would like to hear your comments on
the show. PBS also plans to have a paralell online adventure version
of this show on its website (www.pbs.org).
