Thailand has good medical care and even though I haven't tried it, Singapore is said to have high quality care also.

Indochina gets into your blood and once you have a taste you'll find it's impossible to stay away.

If, at the end of my days, the sum of what I've taken exceeds the sum of what I've given, then I have lived in vain.

Born in the Flint, Michigan, big boat sailing on the Great Lakes and skiing in the winter was how most of my youth was spent.

Overall the cost of living in Ho Chi Minh City is cheap and if you can stay away from Western restaurants and use just local products in your everyday life it's really cheap.

Comedy, sometimes if you think about it too much then it becomes a bit boring. If you start thinking about striking the right balance sometimes it takes the spontaneity out of it.

Jamie: You're acting like a crazy person, what's going on? Landon: Right now, you're straddling the state line. Jamie: OK... Landon: You're in two places at once.

The wars of kings were over; the wars of peoples had begun.

In bed we laugh, in bed we cry, and born in bed, in bed we die; the near approach a bed may show of human bliss to human woe.

I really think that everyone should have watercolors, magnetic poetry, and a harmonica.

Enemies, as well as lovers, come to resemble each other over a period of time.
