about alone in viet nam
Alone in Viet Nam is written by Philip Arthur Moore, a web developer, traveler, and writer who was born in Longview, Texas. At the age of nineteen I entered Rice University and eventually graduated with a degree in Asian Studies.
During my college years I studied abroad twice, once at the School of Social Sciences and Humanities in Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam (School for International Training) and once at Can Tho University in Can Tho, Viet Nam.
On April 17, 2008, I returned to Viet Nam with a one way plane ticket. Many will learn a lot about my life in Viet Nam by reading Alone in Viet Nam, but for the curious, here is a brief rundown of who I am:
