Anthony Bourdian did a show with Barack Obama in Hanoi. They went to a small hole in the wall and ate Bun Cha. I was there in November 2018 and went; it's maybe the most memorable meal I've had. The name of the place escapes me, but a quick google and I'm sure you'll find it. Enjoy!

PS you took my camera from me in Toronto in October to take a photograph but sadly my roll of film had been shot through already. Truly sorry about that!

I had such a similar experience growing up, except my mom was the Jim Croce fan, and I was almost a year old when he died. And I also discounted growing up with him in the background, which I think might be because he’s been so overlooked.

“Time in a Bottle” was the first song that made me cry. I know I didn’t get the words, but I felt the music. I didn’t know until today that he wrote it for his son before his birth. Seems fitting.

Safe and fun travels! And for god’s sake, no Buddy Holly shirts on planes! Please steer clear of Skynyrd, too.

I remember the night Jim Croce died and still love listening to him too. You’ve got such a great perspective and aim so proud of how far you’ve gone and how bright you are shining all sober the world! ❤️
