Greetings from Ho Chi Minh City! This week in my news feed there has been a noticeable uptick in the number of people sharing that they have gotten vaccinated.

Vietnam will begin COVID-19 vaccination this week, though I haven’t thought about it yet as I would be a low priority on the list. We are relatively safe here as well, so getting the vaccine isn’t going to make me celebrate like, say, Gurdeep Pandher of Yukon.

Yesterday evening I received my Covid-19 vaccine. Then I went to a frozen lake to dance Bhangra on it for joy, hope and positivity, which I'm forwarding across Canada and beyond for everyone's health and wellbeing.

I think though I will be doing this kind of happy dance when I pass through an international border again. I will just do it outside the terminal to avoid being escorted from the building.
