We received e-mails from him, we responded, he replied, we answered his queries, but yet, we never know how to properly address him.
There are some who addressed him as Mr. Tran. Then others would call him Mr. The Binh or Mr. The. Some also called him Dr. Binh. No one would like to offend anyone, especially when we are addressing someone whom we have not met. So some called him Mr. Tran The Binh, as he signed in his e-mails.
Never did we realize that his name sounds exactly like Mr. Bean, the comical actor, Ronald Atkinson. Until Sanchai announced to everyone, on arrival at Ho Chi Minh City airport, that we are meeting Mr. Bean!
Thank you Mr. Binh and all the Vietnamese officers at DAAD HCM city office for all the assistance you gave us before, during, and after the event.
