The Manor

Seeing the model picture on paper I was impressed by the magnitude of the project, but when I was in front of it I felt nothing. It was just a building....cements and bricks. Once I started exploring, I noticed a couple of things. This place had the most random statues... there was no real purpose or meaning behind these decorations. Then there were the security guards. The security around this place was so tight. It was almost like they thought we were a group of terrorists. No cameras were allowed, no wandering, and no entry into the residence area. They really emphasized GATED community. Funny thing is there was no sign of a community. Part of living in Viet Nam is being able to get to know your neighbors and interact with people. Now if you take that away, then you're really taking away the essence of living here.
