"You no marry? Really?"
We were halfway through the usual tick-list of questions routinely extinguished within the first five minutes of meeting pretty much anyone in Vietnam. The list usually went like this:
"What your name? Where you from? How long travel in Vietnam? Your first time Vietnam? How old are you? Are you marry?"
We had gotten to this point when he took one of the less-common forks in the road of this seemingly scripted conversation - still not entirely uncommon:
"Maybe you marry beautiful Vietnamese girl...?"
"Yeah, sure, maybe some day I'll marry a beautiful Vietnamese girl...".
