Stay cool! I went back to Taiwan in July in 2010 and distinctly remember the trickle-down-legs sweat from that trip. The concrete jungle, with all the A/C’s exhausting into the street makes it even worse 😅 I’ll look into going to the virtual event!! Your book is going to do great! You’re already in second printing right?? I think your book and your life story offers a very unique perspective that sets it apart from others in the genre, but it’s also great that there’s been such momentum in celebrating Asian American food experiences in all its different iterations through cookbooks in the last couple of years. I’ve been waiting for your book for like two years!! ❤️

Don’t feel guilty! It’s for your sanity and health (I know from experience that being too hot to sleep leads to bad sleep and then you’re exhausted!) 😂 and everyone else has theirs on too. Just think of all those retail shops that have their storefront open to the sidewalk and are continuously leaking a/c into the street! Your apt is much more efficient and frugal than that 😂

Love your dispatches from around the world! While I understand the canceled book launch is a letdown, I can assure you we will buy just as many copies and spread the news through word of mouth, launch or no launch. 💚
