Ok so I haven't posted on my blog as religiously as I should have done...

I've been spending a lot more time in Hanoi now and I am working every day in the week and earning a nice enough wage to keep myself happy but not by any means a huge salary just yet (that will come when more teaching hours emerge)
Once you are a qualified teacher out here you simply work a few hours and you soon find you are earning more than enough to fund alcohol and nice trips.

I have travelled around to a few places though I was very quick to start working in Oxford English VN so I did not have much chance to go round the whole of VN. I am trying to get a reasonable command of the basics of Vietnamese before I really start to go to the more remote parts of VN.

Well yesterday I went to a great expat concert with loads of bands and DJs playing music all afternoon and evening. It was great fun!
Today with a hangover I was taken round by my landlord's son in an imported car from Dubai. It was nice to see the city from the comfort of a big expensive car with russian music played and he proudly showed me some new parts of Hanoi that he had developed......They looked very err Russian and Socialist but he seemed happy when I said that to him. They were quite pretty regardless of the fact that I felt I was back in East Berlin or Sofia again.

Anyway here are some photos for you to enjoy from some other trips as well as some pictures of my new home. Hope everyone reading is well and please send me an email if you ever get chance.
