i'm back from a wonderful trip to vietnam, drifting across saigon, reuniting with old friends (hi chuong, toshi) and meeting some great new ones. the filmmaking world in saigon is warm, embracing this lost soul with beers, hugs, and deep fried frogs.

i'm touched by the kindness of the creative souls here, i'm touched by my cousins who insist on taking me out to dinner and to lunch and to coffee and to dinner and to lunch and to coffee day after day, for the long stories a celebrity tells me, for the comic book recommendations, and, most of all, the chance for luc to meet his ancestors.

thank you vietnam, for being my home after i've been gone for so long
