Lightbox?

A lightbox is absolutely crucial to my work. Without one, i might as well find another profession.

The search for one in Saigon has been at times aggravating, other times frustrating, and always nerve-wracking. Everyone acts like they know what it is and where to get one, but they haven't a clue. I printed out a picture of it and i've been pounding the pavement. One lady asked me if it was for karaoke. Another guy asked me where i put the CD in. No, guys! The concept is simple! A box, with lights in it! (flicking fingers like lights)

For two weeks i couldn't find one anywhere. I was scheming on how to make one with the glass from my table and a desklamp, when i finally found one in a medical supply store today. Hallelujah.

I'm flying up to Danang and Hue to meet up with My tomorrow for a couple days. She's opening a restaurant up there.

hard to say. Not much reason to leave, really.
