Three and a half month 'work' trip in the States ๐ฎโ๐จ ๐ฅ
Thank you to the
@loscabpickleball and socal pickleball fam, ya'll know who you are, I appreciate every single one of you for making me feel so welcomed on and off the court.
A special thank you to two people in particular:
@archive.ant , big papi, the guy who makes everything happen, one of the kindest and most generous people I know, who is so frustratingly quick-witted yet somehow so unfathomably slow-footed, I've been in your debt since last year and continue to be in your debt. Thank you for keeping it real and taking care of me (and everybody else).
@ninh_nuguen , my doubles partner, drilling partner, gym partner, life partner, coach, chauffeur, passenger princess, personal chef, landlord, tour guide... and the only reason why my trip was so enjoyable and (un)productive. I couldn't have done it without you but I definitely could have done without the big back BOGO deals every now and then. It was a pleasure sharing the court with you every time, and I'm incredibly thankful for everything you've done for me; letting me crash in the garage, waking me up with breakfast in bed ๐ฅฐ, showing me around all the best food spots... I could go on and on but I'd run out of characters. Anyways, I'll settle the debate and proclaim you as the TRUE Vietnamese ๐.
Back to Asia and onto the next, I'll see ya'll soon.
