I'm also a huge Graham Greene fan! For reasons I can't fully fathom myself, re-reading his novels and short stories was a great source of comfort during the 2020 pandemic lockdown.
"The Quiet American" was great; it's astounding that it was written almost a decade before the ttagic US (and Australian 😲) miltary intervention in Vietnam/Laos/Cambodia really heated up...The movie version was pretty decent as well.
I have not...in fact, I have not been anywhere in Asia so far. But I do love Vietnamese food, and that part of the world appeals to me much more than China or Japan, for example.

Thanks for reading! If you haven't made a Greene pikgrimage to the Hotel Continental for cocktaiils we heartily recommend one

Havexa great weekend!
Riding a scooter in Saigon is one of the scariest and most thrilling experiences! 😆
Impressed that you did that, Sabrina! How come?
I used to live in Saigon. Thanks for evoking some memories!
Lucky you, David! When was that?
Late 2001 to early 2006.
Thanks for the share @Portia
