the Armchair of El Diablo

As I walked to lunch it up in the Domain, Vietnamese Government officials were visiting NSW Government House. A small but loud protest group had set themselves opposite, crying out against the ‘communist dictators’ on the street.

I chatted briefly with an older, smiling Vietnamese gent on the street who handed out fliers. “Very bad. Very bad government, yes”, he kept repeating. He seemed friendly, sincere.

 I admit, I’m fairly oblivious to the situation in Vietnam, so I checked out their website. There seems to be a fair bit going on I’m ignorant about.
