Jim, I read your story and it reminds me a lot of things about Vietnam. More than I can image in my mind about how come you like Vietnam like this. Everything comes and goes but ( as my mother say) with you it doesn't. It's still alive in each word you wrote here.Thank you for doing that for us, Vietnamese people. You really have a heart of Happy Buddha!
Best wishes in your life

Jim,
I have read many of your stories about Vietnam andthe Vietnamese people. Being Vietnamese, I feel happy that you have so much good feelings for us. I hope that more and more international friends will think the same for us. Haven't met you or seen your photos but I can imagine you have kind, happy look. You must look like a Happy Buddha. Your wisfe is so kind and so generous to give back your gift you bought her so you wear it and are reminded of happy smiles and waves. In your heart, you already have a real Buddha.
Wish you Happy Buddha in the heart!
