Have a good time in Vietnam. My friend Mike (you've met him) now lives in HCM City. He rang the other day and asked when WE were going. I said you were there. Let me know if you want to catch up with him on the way back....GF XX

Vietnam Vietnam!! Have you been ripped off yet? And why the hell are you catching the bus to Nha Trang!? Train it, baby! How's the weather? How long will you be in the country? Where did you stay in Saigon? Can you see the blog (it's yellow now!) or is it mysteriouisly unavailable again? Anyway, I KNOW you can upload photos from Vietnam, so do it already. Man, suddenly my day job is more boring than I thought. I'm jealous! Anyway, keep us posted!

Are you going to catch up with Theresa while you're in Saigon? I think I have her email if you have time before you head off again.

By the way, we're still working on a new design. Bec's been fiddling with colours as you may have noticed.

It's down a small alley which is frequented by people on bikes singing about what they have to sell. Water bread fruit etc. Not far from a park where heaps of kids play a mutated form of hackey sack involving springs and feathers. I know I've seen this doo-hicky somewhere else either Nepal or Melbourne . . . It is hot hot hot and who would have thought? My fingers are sticking to the keys. The rain we heard so much about has come and we might need to buy an umbrella or maybe a garbage bag. Our room is nice and there IS room to swing a cat, so we're happy. Navigtion is a bit wierd, but we're only new so we might catch on. Inter-district travel is our next hurdle. Hot and Sticky, Bec, Saigon

Christmas Eve

So far it's business as usual in Sihanoukville on this hot hot hot Christmas eve. People working on the beach keep updating us on the proximity of Christmas day - without them I think it would have slipped our attention maybe. There's also the odd scrap of tinsel hanging off some trees. In honour of my mother I have decided to force Paul into a Christmas day lunch at Mick and Craig's - an awesome restaurant run by a couple of Australians (we think). For fifteen dolla we receive fresh tomato and basil soup, stuffed baked eggplant with parmasan cheese, roasted potato, pumpkin, beets, sweet potato, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and apple crumble for dessert. If I can't eat it all I will put the leftover's in my shoe or something because I love roast veggies so much. I would also like to take the opportunity to blow the whistle on Paul The Traitor (please refer to him as such from now on) who keeps ordering meaty dishes full of meat. I have sampled said meat to see if it i...
