Catholics form a strong minority in Vietnam and one of the most visible manifestations of that is the Jesus statue that is perched above a hill by the shore of Vung Tau. This statue which is clearly based on the one at Rio de Janeiro in Brazil but smaller was completed in the 1970s.
Born and raised on the island of Penang in Malaysia as a 3rd generation ethnic Chinese, I've lived in the US for more than 20 years now. When I'm not teaching (and sometimes wandering and wondering) during the academic year, I can usually be found wondering and wandering (and sometimes, teaching) in Asia.
