Dear Reggie. You are stuck alone on a deserted island with one record for just the weekend - which album would that be? Go!

Greetings Chartist! I have a similar background (immigrant parents, fled from country, political asylum, came to the US and worked their butts off for a better/safe future, am first generation american, etc).

I was wondering if before you visited Laos personally if you had pictured it any differently / similarly based on the stories you were raised with? Was it shockingly different in a bad or good way? I've always wondered how much we (first borns) romanticize our family's past - especially when hardship is involved.
