-Figure out this religion business

-Actually, figure out ethnic, sexual, political, religious, &c, &c identity
-Learn more about VN and improve literacy in Viet

Phew.

On a totally unrelated note, one of the things I noticed in NZ was that there are a lot, I mean a LOT, of red-headed people. My theory is that there's some Irish connection, since the accent is a lot like the Irish one as well (eg. "Brutain" for Britain).**

**Total uneducated speculation.
