    I visited this place in 1977-78. As a soldier I traveled to the town from the west on foot. On the last turn to the town, the road came down the hill. It was a dangerous road. There was a lot of accident there because the car was typically old and it was hard to push the break to move down smoothly. There was an accident so I rushed to the scene. A car crashed to the side road and an old woman was injured. Her skin head was cut by the broken windshield and the skin went down to cover her face. It looked aweful. I put the skin back to its place and gave her the bandage. The town was small and beautiful. I don't quite recall. I remember there was a Thai guy who lived there. He was wild. I think he was dead now because it was almost 30 already. I wish I be there again. I will find my time to go there.
