We arrived late late last night and saw the sun rise over Ho Chi Minh City this morning. A big, beautiful, noisy city with motorcycles, taxis honking, foot traffic stomping, all going this way and that. Lot's of roundabouts you have to negotiate with extreme caution. Tucker and I got on the back of two motorcycles and went to see the Reunification Palace and a gigantic open air market. I'm still jet-lagged, but we got an eyeful. The people are wonderful and everyone is friendly and inquisitive.
We had a press conference first thing today. Questions was translated for us and our answers were translated back by Nguyen Luan, a new Vietnamese friend that works for the State Department. The reporters were from every major newspaper in the city. They wanted to know about us and our thoughts on country music. We said, "We're here to play country music. What country? That's the question!"
Tomorrow, we'll play our first show and we have a Vietnamese musician or two to rehearse with around 2PM. So far, so good. I'll have another post later on today about Thailand and some new developments there...
