This bandwagon's full please catch another...


So it's been half a year since I've blogged. I believe this is the longest gap I've had in my blogging career. It's not that I haven't thought about blogging, but I've just been lazy. So I've been back in-country from Vietnam for 2 weeks now. It was a fun experience, and I really enjoyed hanging out with my buddy Tyler. The Vietnamese people are an interesting bunch. They were quite enamored with my belly. I'm not a communist, but I'm pretty sure I could become Prime Minister of Vietnam running solely on the platform of my stomach. If I was in a political debate I would answer each question by simply pointing at my belly or maybe I would lift my shirt up just enough to expose the belly. I know I'd win in a landslide.
The food was great, and the beer was good too, and cheap!!! It was hard not knowing the language, and many times I felt like an outsider. It gave me perspective about how foreigners feel in the U.S., and more specifically how international students feel in my dorm. Nevertheless, I had a good time, and I got to see a lot of places. I also got upgraded to business class on 2 of my flights home, which is quite possibly the closest thing to heaven. In fact, heaven may actually be an eternal flight in business class. Oh I hope it's true...
