Have you ever thought about why traveling is important? It may seem obvious, but a good trip introduces you to a “new world”. Geography matters: where you are going plays a huge role in how you think.
About six months after I moved to China, I got the chance to travel with a group of friends to Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. This trip was great fun: I got to swim, cycle and stay in tree houses in the jungle. But more importantly, this trip was meaningful.
All of these three countries were bombed (轰炸) by the US military (军队) during the conflict (冲突) with the North Vietnamese, the Vietnam War. As someone with strong anti-war (反战) opinions, I wanted to learn how the people of this area remember the war. I was not disappointed.the Vietnam War Remnants Museum, which has the largest collection of anti-facts from the Vietnam War. One exhibit is especially memorable. It is full of photos and artwork showing the effects of Agent Orange, a chemical weapon used by the US military against the land and population of Vietnam.
The aim of the Agent Orange campaign (行动) was to destroy plant life to make it more difficult for North Vietnamese fighters to hide behind trees. But ordinary Vietnamese were hurt the most. I had tears in my eyes as I looked around the exhibit.
