Almost Kinda Dying by Anthony Trinh

It really at started at birth, but we'll just start at age 18.  It was my first time traveling abroad and it was Japan first, then Vietnam.  I had my passport and we were off.  

At first landing in Vietnam I walked out of that Tan Nhat Son Airport and I remember thinking to myself about the language.  I was surrounded by Vietnamese people speaking a foreign language ... THAT I KNEW!  My mind was blown.  

Then I remember thinking that I could have been born there to be one of these guys with these ripped jeans and flip flops.  

****EDIT**** I think that book would be too long.  Let's go for a short one.

This book is not happening today, but the title has been born.
