Chu Nghien Heads South

Chu Nghien feted us on Thursday night with one last big party celebration before he heads south for a month to visit friends and stay with his daughter and her family there. The meal included a roasted suckling pig as well as plenty of Hennessy and Bia Festival. Chu Nghien bought a case of it on the event of my coming, so every day at lunch I've had a beer which makes me very sleepy in the afternoon - naptime with Scuppy. The Hue music performers, particularly Ai Hoa, also attended, so we went through some rounds of music before breaking up.
