Yes, am doing quite fine. I do travel a lot too but locally. Just like you mentioned, I like going out of my zone and sample what others have to share. It's amazing what you can fine out. Once I visited Chinese neighborhood and was so hooked I even started learning mandarin Chinese.
When I saw your title about Vietnamese food, I was really glad to check it out. I think I'll take some time to read about the Vietnamese guys cause western media have done so bad that a mention of Vietnam only brings memory of a long war. I don't want that, I want to learn about the Vietnamese for who they are and not for a history they were part off.
