thnx for prompt reply..i was wondering about your academic pursuits..those technical books shows u are an electrical engineer..am i right?i m a chemical engineer, by the way...how old are u? u live in vietnam?
Hi!!! How are you? you have got a good collection of books...there are many technical ones also..
Hell Nga-Viet, Its been awhile since I have dropped you a line so I thought I'd drop you one and see how things are going. I'm reading a book by Obama aand it is boring. I guess all politicans books are boring.
Good morning Nga-Viet, I hope you are having a nice day. Its foggy and rain is in the forecast. Its been awhile since I last communicated with you and I thought I'd say Hi. So HI. I hope the rest of your day is wonderful.
Good evening its 7:55 at night and this is my night life beleive it or not. I hope with the week end coming up that you can get some reading in. Its rainy here so it will be easy to do some reading. Have a nice night.Ken
Good Morning it's 5:20 and I'm having my morning coffee and I'd thought I'd drop you a line and find out what book you are reading at the moment. I'm almost finshed with 2 books "The Dragonbone Chair" and "Myth Alliances". I will read Alice in wonderland this month for the book tag group. If I can I will also rea a Christmas carol also. Anuway I just thought I'd drop you a line and see how things are going. Have a nice day.
And, Ho Chi Minh sounds better than Minh, Ho Chi, which is what would be done in the U.S. if it were an "English" style name! I will go ahead and approve the request then. Thank you so very much.
Can you help me please? You requested a name change:Du Nguyên changing to: Change name to:Nguyễn DuDu NguyễnThe first name is given name and the second name is the sorted name. At library records where I looked, it showed the name as "Du Nguyễn" with the sorted name as "Nguyễn, Du". But they are United States libraries and may be wrong. The only Vietnamese name I know is Ho Chi Minh. The United States Libraries show his name as Ho-Chi-Minh. That is also the sort name. Would Nguyễn Du be the same? Please forgive my arrogance of Vietnamese names.
Good morning, the book "dream of the red chamber" sounds interesting, I'll have to put it on my list of books to read. anyway, it's 4:30 in the morning and its cold again. Winter just does want to let go. I feel pretty good any way. I hope you feel good too.
Good morning again. I usually only survive on 4 or 5 hours sleep a day. When I get up I do the usual get up things (like go to the bathroom) and I make my coffee maybe eat, then go on my computer read books later in the day I go to the book store and have coffee there and check out some and see if I can afford them etc. I'm retired so my days are now mine. I spend time at church doing work work there and lately I have some work sending packages to the American troops in Iraq. This week I will go to the funneral of a solider who died recently in Iraq. So I keep quite busy. Have a nice and as Stephan King says "May you have long days and pleasant nights".
its 4 in the morning here and I just wanted to say good morning and I hope you have a good day
I'm sure we will be contact again. tommorrow is monday and I will do some checking into the tourism part and see what it cast. I think I said that the last message. Actually I hope I can figure something out as I would realy like to return to Viet Nam as a civilian. We shall see. again thank you for the info.
Good morning, thank you for the information I will look into all that you gave me. I am going to check out the tourism part and at least find out what the cost is and what I need. I had a girlfriend who lived in siagon (now Ho Ch Minh City) and I should have married her, but I was too young to do such a thing. I never had a chance to go visit her at her home, but maybe I can figure out a way to visit her and her family. Of corse after 30 years I don't expect any thing. Thanks again for the info. until later. Ken
Hello Nguyen, I'm glad you drop a not back. I was very curious about the books and as I said I didn't realy know that they existed there at all. I'm glad they. Books shouldn't be kept from any one. I have tried to send a note to some near Bein Hoa in the south since that was where I was. I'm courios about there also. I know this is suppose to be about books, but I can't help to wonder about north and south Viet Nam and what has happened to them since to war ended. I have offen thought about trying to find a way to return and see for myself the changes that have occured. But, money is something I don't have so I probably will never get the chance.
Hello Viet N, Are you realy from Hanoi? I'm out of touch about Viet Nam. I spent a year in south Viet Nam when I was in the Army. If you are actually from Hanoi, I'm glad or should I say surprised that you have the books that you do. I'm also glad that you do at least it seem your government is allowing western books into your country. Yeah I sound sceptical, but I haven't heard anything about Nam in years. My courosity is up. If I offend you I'm sorry. I am very courious though.
