So here we are,
Hardly anyone speaks English here and our Vietnamese is
coming along like a cat learning how to speak dog. The same words that mean 10
different things pronounced 10 different ways. I am a face paint away from
looking like Marcel Marso on a daily basis. The people that do speak a little
bit of English are really eager to learn and love to sit down with us during
dinner to chat. They are so friendly and often yell HELLO into your face. Or
they will try out what ever phrases they know, like the other day a guy said
“Hello, What’s your name” I said Shann and he said “ What the fuck” and
continued to ask the question as he strolled up the beach.
I have a pet fly, his name is Gerard. I love him so much. He
follows me everywhere. I often shoo him away in jest but he just lands back on
me. If I catch him one day I am going to rip his wings off and feed them to
him.

Took my first motorbike ride at peak hour today. It was
pretty much like being in the millennium falcon in an asteroid field accept we
were on a nifty fifty and the all the asteroids were trying to pass us. Jules
will be having a lesson soon at 3am at the far end of town in an abandoned car
park……..and I think I may have to start her off on a trolley. Jules starts work
in a couple of weeks but has a day relieving at the local International School
on Friday. This is good news as she will be now top of mind once they start
back in July after the holidays. We probably have to go to Hanoi this week end
as Jules needs a working Visa stamp in her passport. I look forward to seeing
the capital and we will probably go to Hao long bay for a looksy. Anyhoo,
having lots of fun. Trying to get settled and laughing a lot. Hope you are all
well.
Shann and Jules
