Vietnam 2013

Enjoying lunch at swing cafe

The staff here are so lovely! We will be teaching them some free customer service english soon to help them boost their foreigner trade. They are so eager and enthusiastic and always treat us like family when we come in! 

The beautiful summer colours are coming  out! 

My class mural. This class has been so difficult with a few very naughty students but this last lesson was quite nice :)

The sunsets here must be caught and appreciated very quickly- they fade so fast and its dark like someone just turns off the lights! 

One of the most commonly seen butterflies here- it looks like a leaf until closer inspection. Very incredible creation.

A new lebanese restaurant has opened right near our house- its such a welcome place! Wonderful food and a nice treat! 

Opening night at Swing. We only were able to go for an hour but it was great. We were rubbing shoulders with famous vietnamese

Musicians (we didnt know them) but they put on a great performance! 

I apologise for not having posted anything in the last few weeks. Weve been incredibly busy in the leadup to our much needed holiday this weekend! The choir and clubs are going really well, and im hoping to start some private classes over the summer. We are still meeting some of the most amazing people and cultivating the friendships we have found. We are enjoying being able to dip in to the nice places here and also enjoy street food and just the fact that all of our neighbours know us, and that leaving the house everyday is a delight for the conversations we can have with them and the people around us, from the security guards, the police at the station next door, the thai restaurant staff, the hospital staff.... We chatted to or landlord last night, and he was saying how much all te meighbours like us and will be sad when we eventually go. But we are just appreciating everyday and making the most of the time we do have to be here. 

Its been almost 5 months: i cannot even believe it. Its steadily 40 degrees and 80% humidity now, and its set to last for the next few months! But we are still enjoying all the adventure that seems to come with each new day.

We miss everyone at home and hope you all know that we love you all and cannot wait to share all our stories with you!!!
