Teaching English in Hanoi, Vietnam

Happy Birthday Hanoi!

Hey all,
First of all I have to apologise for the lack of photos so far on the blog. I am currently enjoying free, if slow, WiFi courtesy of Northumberland National Park, and great as it is, the picture upload capacity is sadly lacking. However, in just under two weeks I will be moving back to Whitley Bay, and will be able to blog in full technicolour glory. Hurrah!

Well my leaving date has now crept into the bottom of the staff rota, which when I saw it gave me a shock; what I have been thinking about so much actually becoming a reality. At this point my inner Virgo started bleating about fictitious things that had to be done and how unprepared I am. Which of course is untrue. Only the packing to go now!

In 2010 Hanoi will celebrate its' 1000th Birthday as Vietnam's capital city, which should mean that there are some awesome events and celebrations to experience, and as good a reason as any to stick around for as long as possible. This will also mean that Tet, which is the Vietnamese New Year celebration in February will be 'supersized' this year, and even bigger, brighter, noiser and more crazy than normal!

S xx

Hoping the Thaet and birthday celebrations leave room for a trip to Lao. See other comment
