It Is A Matter Of Perspective, Always Is

I happen to be of that age when you went on your first trip abroad when you were 18. I was talking to this woman at a party, same age group I might add, who had just returned from a 'holiday' in Viet Nam. She asked, had I ever been there?

Yes ma'am.

Maybe I should have been more forthcoming, that my 'holiday' was paid for by Uncle Sam.
