Rose and Sam's Excellent Adventure

I sound my barbaric LOL over the rooftops of the world.

Chúng tôi ở nhà bây giờ – We’re home!

Sam | June 15, 2010

Well, the great RASEA has come to an end, for now. The adventure continues, in a more normal way back in Australia, but what I’m left with, is a heavy heart and a fairly harsh adjustment period from the energy and highs and lows of being a ESL Kindy teacher in Vietnam, to an IT [...]

The Great Homecoming

Sam | March 27, 2010

With mixed emotions, I hereby announce we have booked our tickets for our homecoming. We will arrive home on the night of the 28th, and will be fielding questions at a seminar the following afternoon at the Hyatt, in Perth, followed by a quick press conference in Munich, then off for a spot of bother [...]

Pa arrives on Thursday and I’ve just heard word that Keels is booked in from April 20th – May 10th.
Bring the noise.

Keely Update

Sam | February 18, 2010

A quick update on what Keely’s doing.
After a quick jaunt across the nullabor on a postie bike, he’s residing in Tasmania (that was the highly abridged version). He’s booking tickets to visit us in Vietnam for Mid April till March.
Shits n giggles will be posted.
In the meantime. Here’s a fail…

My Rash – And Other Phantoms

Sam | February 8, 2010

I would like to publicly address something. A rumour which has manifested from the vapour of the cosmos.
I am 100%, completely rash free. I haven’t had a rash since I arrived in Vietnam (contrary to Redgum) and I don’t foresee getting a rash any time soon.
I have cut down my sugar intake substantially and cook [...]

Visas, Homecoming and Plans

Sam | February 2, 2010

Hey kids,
Been a long time without posts, not without good reason. I figure you can only take so many stories about kids doing cute and stupid stuff so I kept them to a fair minimum.
We just paid $230USD each, for 3 month SINGLE ENTRY visas which has made us feel mildly raped to say [...]

24hours in HCMC

Rose | December 18, 2009

Hello, hello, helloooooooooooooooooooooooo!
We are on our way home. We left cold smog filled Hanoi this morning at 7am. Said an early bird goodbye to the lovely Nic who is heading off to Sapa and enjoyed the budgetness of Jetstar. (Was actually excellent as we were next to the emergency doors so had loads, and I [...]

A rising Star is born (and I don’t mean Jesus)

Rose | December 17, 2009

Hiya All.
Well things have been a bit crazy here we have had chock-a-block visitors. Jeani, then Tom and Nick (with some over lapping).
Was great to have Jeani Beanie come visit, haven’t seen her in a year or two (or seven actually) and we had a fantastic time she flew out 6th Dec.
Nic is still with [...]

November Rain

Rose | December 16, 2009

So, the plan was to write at least one entry about November but looks like we failed again!
So here is the low down on the 11th month.
Can’t really remember, so in no particular order:
We went on a wicked ride on the bike out of Hanoi for a few hours into the countryside which was heaps [...]
