With Trần Thu Thủy, my Vietnamese tutor, the first photo upon arriving in Hà Nội last week.
I didn’t leave my heart in San Francisco, even though the City by the Bay is home to some of my oldest dearest friends on Planet Earth.
When I have to find where I left my heart, I need to get on an airplane, fly 24 hours (via Tokyo, Taipei or Hong Kong) and begin another chapter, what is now the eighth, in my ongoing love for a country that will always lurk in the background of being an American.
I left my heart in Hà Nội, Việt Nam.
