Hello family and friends, as you may know I am now living and working in Vietnam with my friend George. This blog will chronicle my travels. For a number of reasons, though primarily because I cannot update everyday, I have decided to give themes to each entry and tell my stories in relation to those themes. The themes will include economics, politics, history and religion. Basically what I studied in college and shortly there after. This will also make the blog more interesting for my political and economist friends, especially those who have blogs, and maybe get me a few more hits. So read on and I hope you enjoy it.
