HCM City

Catch up on the rest of last night. Adrian returned from his massage which cost $2.30 and there was no dodgy business! He said the masseur was well trained and knew what he was doing, however, not as professional as what we're used to . He got worried at one point as he heard a beep next to his arm and was worried that he was being stun gunned ! But it was just the blind masseuse playing with his mobile while working on Adrian. He also was singing and having a two way conversation with Adi and his friend on the phone ! But Adrian said it was really good and will be using the same institute throghout the country. After a rest in our room, we came down to dinner and were whisked awy for something "special for you". We were put in the moiddle of their kitchen (tight squeeze) and served a potato, carrot and beef broth which everyone loved - Nim had a big bowl full and then we had spring rolls and watermelon (whch an elderly woman insisted we use forks for). Gota few photos there that yu'll see when we get the time to downlod them. Only two there so far as it takes minutes per photo to put on but we'll try to find somewhere to get it ll done soon. About to have breakfast then they're driving us around the corner (which may be a few k's away) to the bus depot to hop on an 8 hour trip to the French Hill Station, mountains of Dalat. Looking forward toa slower pace and the coooler weather. Bye for now.

Hi Terri,
Hope all is going well for you and the family, enjoy your holiday.
If you bump into Mr Glitter give him a good kicking from me.
All the best on your travels.

Great to be able to look at the pics--Ni'mah, you're almost as tall as Asher now (!) and that's one fabulous lizard! I hear that the traffic behaves like schools of fish, parting and reforming to accommodate cross-walkers. You'll have to readjust to the traffic behaviour back home...but that's a while off yet!

Hey, just trawled and drooled through your pics - great to see a pic of Andre and Simone - can't believe how big Elijah is.
Laughed at the HCM confused power lines - we have an identical photo from 16 years ago - obviously nothing has changed much there!!
Thanks from Paul for the coffee shot - he is teary at the memory (will probably dig ours out and brush the cobwebs off and brew a cuppa in your honor (just need to get some sweet and condensed milk!!
Keep having a ball - how much fun can one have on one trip - lucky, lucky buggers!
XXXXXXX
Cheers and hugs
