Vietnamese Cultural Center. At the top are images of the Temple of Literature in Hanoi and the Imperial Palace in Hue. Below are images of the One Pillar Pagoda in Hanoi and Pha That Luang in Vientiane, with this quatrain from Ho Chi Minh:
With love, one can climb any number of mountains
Cross any number of rivers or mountain passes
The love between Vietnam and Laos
Is deeper than the Red River or Mekong

P.S. I became a writer outside institutions, so no steady income or even access to decent libraries, and my situation became even more precarious after I lost my publishers.
