About our trip to Vietnam.
1. God, I hope in 30 years John and I will be going on a nice trip to Iraq to stay in a fancy hotel and wander around looking at historical buildings.
Will there be any left?
2. While listening to vietnamese hip-hop in the car from the airport, and comparing it to the filipino hip-hop I heard earlier this year, it occurred to me that for a group of people who have created all this world-spanning triumph of popular music, black people in America ought to be a lot richer.
Some of them are.
