Lost in translation

We met the principal of the school here - it is huge private school in downtown Hanoi. The kids read and write English but need native speakers to help with pronunciation.

Asking the principal about his family he told us about one son who had graduated and was working for the Central Comedy. I assumed there was a VN version of Comedy Central- maybe on TV? Cool!

 I just about said something about jokes but asked again to be sure. Ah - the Central Committee. A different group. No joke.

Everyone is very nice and I am trying hard not to touch off an international incident.....
