my last dinner in hong kong and a keychain version of it

street market

this is uncle thai. my grandfather adopted him when he was 13 years old. he worked in my family’s pharmacy in saigon and practically raised my mom. when he was 18, he was drafted into the army. the first day out, a viet cong tank blew off his right arm. though it has been difficult for him to think optimistically about what had happened, he is grateful to only have lost his arm. 

a water buffalo!

“happy new year”

rub my belly for good luck
