I'm not sure we can know the answers to any of them. <br /><br />I think some of Tony's comments about other chefs stemmed from his own insecurities. Perhaps that's why he sometimes seemed so dismissive of restaurants in the United States. <br /><br />I loved reading about Vietnam. He seems to say he "fell in love" with Vietnam right after he got there and then confirms those feelings throughout his travels. kelseydonkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08890139082702666433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-976456421452873396.post-80800679207123855962012-09-27T11:08:16.564-07:002012-09-27T11:08:16.564-07:00Yeah I think he starts tut feeling that way but he...Yeah I think he starts tut feeling that way but he begins loving having "pho" in the mornings and the way of life there.

What I'm curious about is why he ends the first section about it so negatively, and then keeps returning. I don't remember there being any sort of reconciliation in his "What am I still doing in Vietnam," feelings to the odd beat of, "I'm still here." What do you think?
