First Post At Global Voices

I have been invited to write for Global Voices on a weekly basis as a volunteer blogger, which I'm very excited about. I know it won't be as easy as writing my own blog but your encouragement is an enormous support. Anyway, check out my first post over there Southeast Asian Games!. Global Voices is a fantastic perspective on issues and events around the world and how bloggers respond to them.

Wow, congratulations!!! But don't you get caught up with your new, fun, and interesting job with Harvard people and forget all about us over here, ok? I'll still be looking forward to read your writting ;)
Cheers man,

P/s: Quick question: do you write upon request? 'cause i miss Hanoi's night so much; especially when winter is coming. You know, a young couble on an old bike, holding to each other tight to get away from the freezing cold; students enjoying grilled Indian corn (ngo nuong) after their late night extra classes; or a few workers gathering around our traditional noodle soups (pho) on the street, talking and laughing together despite of their long hard day... The wind blows hard, yet there is always something so warm, so familiar about it. It keeps Hanoians connected. It keeps me connected...
Man, i'd give anything to come back to Hanoi this winter... :(

Best wishes with the Global Voices mob. It's one of the more interesting blog projects out there. esp. after last weekend's mammoth online lOndon thing. Well done.
