nam

Vietnam and Turkey share the characteristic of having languages written in Roman-ish letters that are completely incomprehensible to me. No recognizable words or roots to work with. I enjoy this phenomenon, the flexibility of those simple pen strokes.

Not sure my taxi driver is all that familiar with driving stick. He shudders along at the bottom of one gear too high, puts the handbrake on while the car is still moving, and stalled out a second ago. He asked me just now if I was okay and I said yes. Asked him if he was okay and he said, "Maybe. I very tired. So much traffic." He's not lying.
