OK, not much really to update. It's been 6 and a half months now and all seems to be travelling well. The best thing has been now riding my motobike. I am loving it. I zoom into work everyday and can easily pop in and have dinner somewhere on my way home. I tend to stick to places that I know I can park at for free and where someone parks my bike for me (high gutters are still my enemy).
My darling boy and I are still going strong long distance. I have been to HK twice now and he just came back to Saigon this last weekend. We hope to be together for Christmas or New Years too.
Most of my life here is taken up with work as the role and agency is rather challenging. When not at work I am either recovering or partying. I'm made some lovely friends here but unfortunately they seem to be mostly male (not that I am really complaining). I am now on a mission to try and find more female friends!
Of course I still miss my doggy and my family. I've never not had a pet so I get bad fluffy animal cravings and nothing can replace my suki dog. I would love to go home in the next few months but I want to bring my man with me so we are waiting to see what happens.
My Vietnamese is not really improving. I learn a word or two here and there but really want to get some formal lessons now and sort it out. I know enough to get by are rarely find myself stuck in a pickle. My vocabulary tends to now involve my bike. I recently learnt the words "RuaXe" for "Bike Wash" but have not actually got around to washing the bike!
Anyway, here's some photos of fun times over the last few months in Saigon. Looking at these makes me want to detox!
At Lush - where I met my man, almost 6 months to the day.
