Rose and Sam's Excellent Adventure

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

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 [...]

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, [...]

Got class again this morning, as conveniently, the teacher who teaches Roses ex-classes is sick. *gosh darn*. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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…

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 [...]

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 [...]
