So, I carry around my little crap point and shoot Nikon Coolpix 2100 just about everywhere to take snapshots where I’m not thinking about composition and lightening quite so much. I finally uploaded the pictures from my coolpix and I’m posting a few.
First off, my breakfast this morning was a sandwich from a sandwich stall [...]

012 – Commentary and Observations
Posted in Food, Vietnam on February 24, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I’ve been in a bad mood today, starting with the Internet not working all day (what is now yesterday?). I mean, gawd, I go to a tropical nation for four months and my broadband wifi better not cut out for 24 hours. The horror. (Note to the dense: poking. at. myself.)
Combined with the fact that [...]
011 – Family Dinners, Sushi, and Jazz Bars
Posted in Food, Vietnam on February 21, 2007 | 3 Comments »
So there hasn’t been an update lately mostly because not a lot has happened but also because I am often too tired when I come home to bother with a post (that, and there’s simply no need to post on a daily basis).
Yesterday, however, is worth posting about. I woke up earl[ier] and took a [...]
010 – Tết and Vietnamese Hospitality
Posted in Vietnam on February 17, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
So Tết is crazy. Times Square at New Years has nothing on Tết. HCMC has 7 million people plus. Imagine the end of a concert where everyone is in mass exodus mode. Now imagine that there are 7 million people on foot, in mopeds, cars, taxis – all trying to leave at once. Besides the [...]
009 – Mekong Delta, Food, and Throwing Caution to the Wind
Posted in Food, Vietnam on February 15, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I got back from the Mekong Delta trip, of which I have mixed reviews but I might get to that later. You can see pictures on my flickr page (to the right). I actually took over 120 pictures in less than two days. I narrowed it down to only 67 to upload from my camera [...]
008 – Saigon Orientation Day 1
Posted in Vietnam on February 13, 2007 | 5 Comments »
I am exhausted, but I want to try to get a post in now that I have finally gotten my wireless to work.
Today, we started our day with Phở and cà phê sữa đá, which our director says previous programs have nicknamed “crack.”
It is, quite simply, the best true, well strengthed coffee I have [...]
007 – Hello from Hong Kong

Dude, the Hong Kong airport has free wireless!
It’s 12/12 7:12pm here (6:12am EST) and I have been on a plane or in an airport since 12/11 5am EST.
I have decided that one of the levels of hell is being stuck on a 747 for all enternity with a guy behind you who kicks the seat [...]
006 – Amusement on TV
Posted in USA, preparation on February 9, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I’m watching tv while I put together a Big To-Do List of Doom. Judging Amy on TNT.
The obnoxious insurance agent brother and his wife come in all excited, saying that they have found their vacation idea and because the grandmother has always wanted to go to Vietnam they thought they would go with her. “And [...]
005 – Found

So, FedEx did in fact loose my passport and visa. They delivered it to the wrong house, further down my street. However, the neighbor came by last evening (after several hours of my family freaking out) to deliver it.
I might have screamed down the hall of Main that they had found my passport and then [...]
