Last week, the Brooks Institute Documentary Group was lucky enough to meet Nick Ut (Our idol) who took us to the Canon Office in Vietnam were we met Mr. Shimao Nomura, the Director of Canon Vietnam and Mr. Mike Asao, the Director of Canon Singapore who treated us to a wonderful lunch.

This trip has been amazing thus far; there are no words to describe how hospitable everyone has been to us.

Thank you Canon!
Thank you Vietnam!

A Quiet Vietnam…

I just arrived in Vietnam 3 days ago and couldn’t be happier. I have fallen in love with every aspect of this country; the food, the city, and best of all the people. I can’t wait for the next adventure.
