hi everyone.

for those who know what this website used to be, you’ll notice that the online journal has been removed. unfortunately someone within my extended family has been relaying things he’s read, in a very distorted fashion, to other members of my family. nothing bad came of this but i had to remove the online journal to prevent further leaks. older generation Vietnamese-Americans, particularly my parents, may not understand the experience. least of all an experience that can be easily misinterpreted.

i guess this could be a last chance at one final update. since arriving back in America i’ve settled back into what you would call a normal life, dotted with the occasional crazy moments. i miss Vietnam immensely and hope to return someday, even if only for vacation. not a day goes by that i don’t think about all that had happened, the people i met, all that intensity that life has up its sleeve in a place called Vietnam. looking back, that one year and four months spent in Vietnam was the most incredible journey of my life. but it’s time to move on, do the next thing that needs to be done. i hold hope that there will be more (mis)adventures, other amazing people to meet, and chances for stories down the line, regardless of where i’m at. i know i’ll be back in Saigon the first chance I get, though. i’m really sorry i couldn’t keep the blog online as an archive for you all, most of all for myself.

see you all on the flip side.
