way to go

Great. I'm pretty sure I just addressed the head of the English department for the publishing house that I'll be working at this summer as Mr. [His First Name] in my email, forgetting the possibility that the Vietnamese probably follow the same custom Chinese do of having their first name come after their last name. I was hoping I wouldn't embarrass myself until I actually stepped foot onto Vietnamese soil, but apparently that was just way too ambitious of an assumption.

High five, self.
