The first in a series on notable Vietnamese persons. In this episode, we briefly go over (based on what Wikipedia made available):

  • The Trưng Sisters
  • Phùng Thị Chính 
  • Lady Triệu 
  • Lê Lợi
  • Trần Hưng Đạo
  • Bùi Thị Xuân
  • Hồ Chí Minh and
  • Võ Nguyên Giáp.

We also discuss what the French brought to the table after their conquest of Vietnam while reminiscing on the great bánh mì Dennis got from a Vietnamese food place in a Saskatoon gas station.PS: Apparently this is our 100th episode (including our old PCP and Your Internet Uncle episodes). Huge Danke to our listener in Frankfurt Am Main, Hesse, Deustchland. There might be a semi-regular listener in Ashburn, Virginia. We're grateful if you keep listening too. Off to record the next 100.
