No, I didn't, but I read the book. Never been much of a cat person myself. I have eaten in numerous New York City chinese resteraunts however, so I don't think it would bother me...

ps, my cat lays here on my computer monitor. right now I'm laughing and she has this very strange, nasty look on her face. oh... that's how she usually looks, nevermind. ___________________________________________________________________

pshannon, thank you. I've been wondering about the Vietnamese currency since I saw the Barry column on Sunday. I just haven't made the time to look it up. Now I don't have to.
