Tech Tuesday tells about the techie side of me! Just last night, I told my students that 90% of the worldwide web is junk with the intention of discouraging them to use the internet in their research. For if they do, they can get confused with different numerical values of Physics constants. Sources are just so […]
#tosomeats in Vietnam
“”Vietnamese Food” is a true adventure story for the palate and an absorbing culinary tour.” – Bobby Chinn (Vietnamese Food, 2010) I strongly agree with Bobby Chinn, a world-renowned chef, author, restaurateur, and TV personality who lived in Vietnam for 17 years just to discover, learn, and master the art of Vietnamese cuisine.

As we went our way to Ha Long Bay, we saw boundless rice fields as expansive and as far as our eyes could see. It’s also part of the Vietnamese culture to bury […]
