Chuck Searcy and I just happened to be in Nguyen Qui Duc's bar when he was filmed by CNN.

Hi Linh,
Very cool.

Linh oi, I've seen this on CNN two or three times, only once in its entirety, but it seems to be getting some good play. Nice piece, with interesting people featured, a few of them good friends who make Ha Noi such a special place. It was only in the second viewing that I caught the brief scene with you and me at Tadioto discussing matters of great profundity, I'm sure, with Duc -- me with my arms flailing around as if I were trying to convince you of whatever I was saying. I don't remember that there was a camera in the room.
Hi Chuck,
The cameraman was on the sidewalk and filming us through the window. My time in Hanoi was too brief. I hope to return soon.
Linh
