I love your #10. To be honest, I have never been to Vietnam yet since my parents escape there in 1973. But from footage and pictures, it is the best part of Vietnam. I'm glad you like. Here's a clip take makes Ha Long Bay wonderful:

I'm Vietnamese as well and highly appreciate #10. Like Tracy, I've never been to Vietnam. I also liked your inclusion of Sriracha sauce. I never paid attention to the name before now. My family just refers to it as red sauce in Tieng Viet. It's obvious that you enjoy Vietnamese cuisine, so living in the DC area must be fantastic!

Re number 3. Not her best work. P&P all the way

I already have this argument going continuously with a friend. Who ludicrously advocates for Anne Elliot.

Ugh, Anne Elliot. But the worst Austen protagonist is Fanny Price.
