Re: Prof. P. Haddawy trip to Hanoi

[Ha Anh Vu <vu@as.nida.ac.th>]

Hi there,

Prof. Haddawy will visit VN for about a week. One of the purposes of his
visiting universities there is to recruit students. However, he will be
on a very tight schedule. On the other hand, I will be in HN for about 2
months and probably have plenty of free time. So if somebody in HN has
questions about the "hows", please contact me by email at vu@cs.uwm.edu
so that we can set an appointment.  I'd be happy to share what I know
about Uncle Sam, maybe "be^n ca.nh va`i va.i bia ho+i ma't la.nh, va`i
ddie^'u thuo^'c tho+m ba so^' (thuo^'c la`o tie^n la~ng also goes)  be^n
bo+` Ho^` Ta^y" (if the person is a she, well, there's still "ba'nh
to^m" option left).

Cheers, Vu~
