The Last Post

Sam | January 29, 2011

Well, not the last post ever, but the last post for this Vietnam trip!
We’re leaving for the airport in an hour (10:00am VN Time) to fly back to warm, clean air and in terms of health, not a moment too soon. In terms of being satisfied with our trip to Vietnam, also well timed. The [...]

Hot Pot, Bát Tràng and the Almighty Clusterfuck

Sam | January 27, 2011

Ok, been a couple of days so I’ll backtrack. *cue Wayne’s World Flashback Noise With Finger Rain* doilduyp, doilduyp, doilduyp, doilduyp.
Right, well I’ve fairly successfully avoided what local Vietnamese class as food since… approximately the same time I stepped foot on Vietnamese soil. All until a few nights ago, and I gotta tell ya, THAT’S [...]

Dinner with Mai and Pho Hue Open Markets

Sam | January 23, 2011

Hey all,
This has been a great visit to Vietnam, simply because it’s been so realistic. Three days into it and we’re having problems breathing again and Rose is in bed with a cold! haha. It’s great though, we’re having a good time and all expectations have been exceeded.
Went down to the open markets near Pho [...]

Class Reunion – Part II

Sam | January 21, 2011

Ok, I’ve got a bit of time to write this now.
Went into Just Kids yesterday. Both Rose and I were slightly concerned at how they would remember us (the kids), especially Rose as some of her kids were 2 y/old. We got in and it was great – teachers were briefed we were coming, [...]

Back In The Shit, maan.

Sam | January 20, 2011

Here we are, back on our 2nd tour, and its like we never left.
To catch the blog up, we’re re-visiting Vietnam for 10 days, to visit friends and ex-students and buy wire.
Ms Ha, our lovely boss picked us up from the airport and took us to lunch, then we came back to the [...]

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 [...]
