Loved the scene in the novel.
The cringe still haunts me to this day.
This scene is in my top #2 of my cringe compilation, with #1 being friends with envy.
Beyond that. It's as sad as if when someone desecrated my parent's grave and stole their funny bones so that they could not laugh in africa-valhalla :(
Helped a partner based on Vietnam and she nominate herself to be my free tour guide if I ever visit her country.
I see Vietnamese in better light now, they are kind.
