That's what makes reading so amazing. We've also got a faves and fails of the week involving a popular author book signing, and the crispiest Diet Coke of Liz's life, mixed in with Chipotle gone wrong and a mean case of the Sunday scaries.

The government and the people and the enterprises are working really hard to get people to come here and try out this country. Take the risk on Vietnam. It's fun, it's exciting.  It's relatively inexpensive enough for you to start a business, and if it fails, you can try again. It's not a big deal. If you want to move your family here, the schools are great, and if it doesn't work out, you can go back to your country.  But I think now is a great time, because the next 10 years, there'll be a lot of economic growth and opportunities for you to take a risk and a chance on Vietnam
