Shops all over Hûe sell helmets for everyone. Though he didn’t buy it, our friend Robert found one he liked.
In the last blog posting about high-fashion in Hûe, Tuan requested a pic of Virtual Doug in a bucket
ruffle. Since I don’t know anybody who has one, I had to buy one. 40,000 VND I’m assured by my friends I got a good price. I do know where to shop in Hûe.
At the helmet shop I discovered that the young lady at the end of the last story is NOT sporting an enclosed ruffle, but a helmet constructed with a ruffle and covering self contained, black rubber chin strap and all. Pretty clever, no?
And now I have also discovered Doug looks pretty good in a bucket ruffle, don’t you think?
Omg, yes ....
He sure looks good in that. Thank you the Mystery Guest Blogger, you are the best. I am going to start a petition for you to be the main blogger and Doug will be your sidekick. Who with me?
Btw, without the beard, Doug will look like English lady from last century. :)

Ahhhh, I've read the bucket ruffle blog and... yeap, now I could see why you confused mom. I also checked when is my last visit and I realize it had been 3 and a half months since then. Im sorry. I also found this short message conversation with the other Tuan: (I just copied it)
Oops, there is someone else has the same name with mine. That's interesting.

@the other Tuan:
Tuan is a popular Vietnamese name, same as Smith, John etc...
Now if we are coming from the same town, that will be interesting.

As I said, I know it hard to figure out which Tuan's comments :). So I've decided to change to Tuan_son as my default name on this blog.
Anyways, I just want to let you know that I start addicting to Sudoku. And actually I already miss you. Hope you have good time down Saigon and back home safe and sound.
I will kepp working with Doug, try my best and hopefully will be able to play Sudoku with you in McAllen next year.
I love you. xoxo

You just miss a gun.

Yo Bro, keep the red B on your head. Sorry, but not a pretty sight.
