Old Friends and New Jobs

Heya Folks,

Apologies for a late posting to the blog this week. My computer is having a few issues just lately and could, I fear, be on its last legs. However, I know of a few techies here who could help, so all is not lost yet.
Also this week, I have had an old friend staying, Jill, from Australia. She was a fellow i-to-i volunteer here back in 2007, and was tempted back on hearing that I, and fellow i-to-i-ers Paul and Paschal, were all in Hanoi. What a strange and pleasing mix of circumstance and co-incidence that led us back together. I have had a fantastic week catching up with her and the others, and do rather miss her now that she is on her way back to Australia.


On returning from Cambodia, I set myself to the task of actually earning some money here, to replenish my rapidly-depleting stocks. I had a few job leads to chase up, of varying qualities and seriousness. Since then, I have begun some private tutoring with the son of a neighbour here on Quan Thanh street, which has been FAB fun. The student, Hung, is very intelligent and enthusiastic, so the lessons hardly feel like work at all! I am also picking up random paid lessons at various places around Hanoi, which means I spend quite alot of time travelling here and there around the city. This can be tedious and time-consuming (and expensive), but necessary!

Thats All from Me!
take care
