the last word
Publisher’s Note
M
March offers a
world of excitement
for Houston’s main-
stream and international
communities. In our Mach
issue you will discover our pas-
sion for the mission
of covering all things
international, business,
culture and lifestyles..
iF Magazine’s March cover page is one I’ve been
waiting for The Honorable Luong Quoc Huy,
Consul General of Vietnam. And I wasn’t alone,
. Our contributing reporter Katia Hadjiyska and
photographer Heidi Power were in awe of the
beauty of the Vietnamese consulate. Once inside I
felt I had taken a trip to Vietnam and technically
i had. I’m not just writing about how impressive
building was, although I could. But I’m writing
about how extremely polite the staff was and the
Consul General proved to be a delight to inter-
view. I can speak for our team, we totally enjoyed
the experience.
Thanks!

OK, “It’s spring and the weather is changing
beautifully.” Well not quite for us, although speak-
ing for the team again, the line between work and
play can be blurred. That’s why starting in March
we plan to double our efforts, and cover more
exciting international events. Have I mentioned a
mission to Netherlands? That’s right, iF Magazine
will join Houston City Council Member Larry
Green on a mission to The Netherlands in June!
Getting back to our cover page, I’d love to travel
to Vietnam and cover all of Ho Chi Minh City!
And as always, thank you for your readership.
