I learned, today, that Cuong, my Vietnamese supervisor, was not only a boat person when he fled from Vietnam; and that not only did he have seven of the people on that boat die. He actually woke up to discover the man next to him in the boat was dead! Also? PIRATES RAMMED THEIR BOAT! Furthermore? Their motor died, so that they were lost at sea, and actually eventually resigned themselves to the fact that they were going to die. It was then that a Malaysian fishing boat discovered their boat and, realized there were people on board who were still alive. Thus they were rescued and, Cuong went to live on a refugee island for about six months! Wow! And I thought I had lived!
