With all the holiday preparations, I almost forgot to feature the latest from Word HCMC. 🙂

Can’t believe 2013 is rolling in tomorrow already!  How did that happen?!?!  Are you getting ready to watch the fireworks at Saigon Skydeck?

Actually, I wish I can join the festivities in downtown District 1 but with the kids and the possible traffic — if yesterday was any dry run for that — I think we’d rather just stay home.  I may be complaining a bit of the traffic we witnessed yesterday but it was such a welcome sight to see — it kinda felt like Christmas back home where every body is rushing to be somewhere or stopping at their tracks just to have a photo along the festively-lit street of Le Thanh Ton, Dong Khoi or Nguyen Hue.  Interesting to see actually!

In Word this December, I did a piece on Pham Huy Thong.  You’ve gotta check out his works at http://www.cthomasgallery.com.

Nick Ross did a feature on Crescent area — something to ponder on. 😉

Now back to the new year preparations! 😉
