Note to self (Vietnamese Style)

Never:
- Buy chicken at a local street market unless I want to behead it myself
- try to drive in Hanoi unless I have a death wish
- go to the supermarket on the first day of the lunar month unless I want to be trampled by Vietnamese families of 10
- assume that “sister” or “brother” or “uncle” or “aunt” means biological relation because it rarely ever does
- work for a full straight month with only one day off unless I want to come down with the plague. THE PLAGUE!!!
- try to pass one of the INSANE men driving a moto unless I feel like resembling a squashed pomegranate
