Kevin got up early at 5.30 and went walking into town and then to Cam Island and back. I went a little later and only for a short 40 min as I am still not quite right. I only had a shake for breakfast. We ordered dinner for tonight and also stocked the fridge with beer. I loaded data on Kevin's phone so he can listen to the footy and all the footy shows. On the way to the beach I stopped at Betel and told Hai and Ms Le I wouldn't be able to teach this afternoon. Kevin took 16min 8sec this morning. He is annoyed that he can't bet his record. We ordered lunch, I had the ham and cheese baguette while Kevin had fries. I headed back at 2pm while Kevin stayed until 4pm. I watched some mini series I have on hard drive. Vang and Duc called in on their way back from Vang's college 10 year reunion to see how I was feeling after bailing on them last night. They stayed for an hour chatting. Andrew arrived and was having a beer with Mr Dung. We headed outside for dinner and started with Banh Xeo, savoury pancake which was delish. Followed this with beef noodle and vegetable then fried pork which is like strips of Snitzel. Way too much food again and plenty left over. I was drinking water due to still feeling a little off while the guys were on Larue Beer. We chatted about Andrews role at the AVI Australia Volunteer International. He has 2 year contract and a salary of $1,400 pm which means he can live quiet comfortably in Vietnam. He eats out every meal. We chatted briefly about his trip to Hanoi and looked at the map he had bought. Unfortunately when I went to get refills Dung asked me if he could buy us all a beer and next thing he has joined our table and there was plenty of mot, hai, Ba, Yoh (one two three cheers). That was the end of any sensible conversation as Dung got into the drinking. Sharon, an Accountant who works in an isolated mine in South Africa came back and she was invited to join us. More bot, hai, Ba, Yoh went on until I decided I had had enough seeing I was on the water and so headed to bed. Kevin followed soon after. It seems Andrew invited Dung and his son Tung to go to the Sports Bar tomorrow with Kevin to watch the footy.
