After church today, I and my brother went out for lunch. Since I had such a craving for it, I had Bun bo Hue. We then headed over to the University of Texas at Arlington to join in the protest to call for the lowering of the Vietnamese communist flag on the UTA campus. All the roads around the campus were already blocked off in preparation for the march. The crowd of at least 2,000 has been there since 1:30 pm listening to various singers and speakers. At 3:00 pm, we started the march a few blocks around the campus. The march took a good part of an hour before we were back in front of the outdoor stage in the large parking lot again. It was good to see Thi Vo, my highschool buddy who is currently the vice president of the Vietnamese American community in Austin. His parents were also there along with about 50 people from the Austin area, including many University of Texas students of Vietnamese descent. UTA officials at first did not take thing seriously. Particularly associate provost Dr. Michael Moore was rather insensitive with his comments regarding the request to lower the Vietnamese communist flag.
