"It's hard to believe that Tia Wallman is a first-time author, so assured is her writing. In 'We Went to Saigon', she recalls the bizarre trip that she and her sister took to join their father at the height of the Vietnam War. Wallman had heard nothing from her father for years, when out of the blue she received two round-the-world tickets and a letter saying he'd meet them in Hong Kong and to "please dress like young ladies. No mini skirts! And don't say 'groovy'!""http://traveller.outlookindia.com/issuecontent.aspx?id=598&type=3&flag=issuehome
