It must be hard to keep reinventing one’s self, especially when it comes to topping your own high marks. Gaga does it again on Vogue cover (all- meat bikini ). http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2010/09/07/2010-09-07_lady_gaga_dons_raw_meat_on_cover_of_vogue_hommes_japan.html Use all your resources. Follow the money and your instincts. This is to show that when it comes to imagination, we have no bound.…

Infrastructure improvement could cost billions. Kids need to drive someday. And as Mr Buffet wisely put his investment dollars into railways since containers need to be offloaded to the Wal-Mart near you. Those who travel recently can recall “boarding by zone”, “e-ticketing”, etc.. All sorts of gimmicks , except for the limited runways and slots allowed…

Fast food companies got fast funding last week: Wendy, then BK. For the past two years, I have stopped by BK twice, each time, for the buy-one-get-one-whopper-free deal. We will look back to this Recession as a house-cleaning era, when BK might mean bankruptcy, or Burger King. HUD Secretary was interviewed on Capital Connection this…

After a transitory lay over at a third country, I found myself in one of the entry points, in this case, Atlanta: Southern hospitality, chicken recipe, and of course, airport price tagd. Ten bucks, with no drink. Welcome back, Mr Nguyen. I prepare my breakfast now. No longer a Saigon sitting down on a low…

Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow, the song goes on and on as the then incoming Clinton team danced the inauguration night away. Satellite and the information superhighway open access, as well as easy credits built an unsustainable momentum of shopping on the run. Imagine the nation on an airplane, just about to take off, and…

I once got a 12-hour lay over in S Korea. The airport boasts itself as ” a world best airport hub”, w/ picture of a janitor-on-duty in men’s bathroom. Every hour, there were a procession of some sort, complete with traditional gowns and ceremonial hats. Passengers-turn-shoppers (the airport was designed as a Mall) paused and…

Yesterday I saw a blind man, cane first, feet followed, amidst really busy traffic. He was neither assisted by a companion, dog or human being, nor by traffic alerts for the blind. Yet he made it to the other side (without music from the Door) , and was on his way into an alley, which…

To have a good time takes some planning. To organize a dance party for instance.. Yet, here in Saigon, it’s happenin every night of the week, and more so during this festive holiday. Clubbing however is for stress relief. It got sight, smoke, sound and scene. The feel. Players know where to go, to spot…

Rolling black-outs in the city occur here quite often. So it’s refreshing to ride through District 1, where the Saigon River occasionally delivers some wind-tunnel effect. Lightings are up to prepare for the upcoming holidays. Bakeries are setting up kiosks everywhere in town, pushing their Moon cakes. We got Givral joining the confectionary space traditionally belongs to…

She said No, but her body language said Yes. He said Yes, but his other language said No. How to figure it out? Context is key. Mothers love you your entire life, but never said “I love you” directly. Teachers who were mighty proud of their students’ achievement, but remained stern and strict behind thick…
