Editorial's note: Having taken part in H2H twice, I feel that it is a unique experience that has deepened my understanding of Vietnam, which I have called home for over two years. I have had the opportunity to see parts of the country I would've never visited otherwise and get a more 'real' experience than is often available in highly developed, westernized Ho Chi Minh City. Not to mention the trip takes place on a bicycle, not the usual motorbike. I think the story of the ride is worth sharing, and I will be covering H2H 2013 in 10 parts over the next five weeks. I hope you enjoy it, and if you have any questions or comments feel free to contact me at matatarski@gmail.com.
