One great outcome of my meeting with Ms U yesterday was that I scored an invite to an event featuring Phillip Noyce.
He's visited a few times and is obviously very well regarded here. He spoke about his biography (recently translated into Vietnamese) and his career, giving the audience the benefit of his film-making wisdom. He had amusing stories and good advice to share.
I did have a moment, during the event's musical interlude, where I was thinking: hmm, here I am in VN, listening to a VN acoustic band singing Paparazzi in honour of Phillip Noyce's visit...isn't life great.
M met me after the event and we had lunch and took a trip to 'Big C' - a large supermarket in District 10. I bought a new tank top - oh the excitement!
