What a night!
What a night!
For the second time in two weeks, Brook Taylor and I talked about our book, Vietnam - Asia's Rising Star, to a sold out venue at the Old Compass Cafe in HCM City. The night was especially memorable because the Old Compass Cafe team donated all the entry fee revenue for the event to typhoon relief. In addition, Brook and I donated VND 100,000 to the same cause for each book that we sold at the event. The photo below shows me handing over to Old Compass Cafe manager Duong Dang VND 4,100,000 from 41 book sales. In the whole scheme of the disaster, 4.1M is not a lot of money for disaster relief, but it is a lot of heart.
Thanks to everyone who joined us last night and purchased a book. I hope you enjoyed the presentation and the robust Q&A. Thanks to the entire Old Compass Cafe team for their hard work and generosity. Please drop by there at 63/11 Pasteur St. D1 for lunch and/or dinner when you have the chance. It's a wonderful venue.
Have a wonderful weekend.
