Today was beautiful blue skies and a chilly 25 C making it probably the best weather since China. Had a little bit of London deja vu in the sense that when its really nice and sunny in London you're like "holy shit look at the weather!" which makes you realise just how cloudy and overcast it has been.
So today was a productive Vietnamese lesson in the morning (Vietnamese verbs are conjugated the same for all subjects! Brilliant!) followed by lunch at Cha Ca Va Long which featured some very high quality fish and green stuff in a pan cooked over a claypot on your table. Apparently its the oldest restaurant in Vietnam, est in 1871. A little pricey at 75k (£2.50) each but it was the best fish I've had since... two days ago in Hoi An!
Which brings me to our magnificient trip to Hoi An! We got back last night and left Monday morning so were there for 4 days/3 nights. We actually stayed longer than planned cos our flight was delayed but Vietnam Airlines is so cool in that they phone ahead of time to tell you (they did so for our flight out there a few days before we left). I took so many photos (365 + 5 videos) that its probably easier to just look at the Hoi An photo album on my photo page (click on upper right corner) than for me to explain it all here. I did captions for the whole album so you know what you're looking at.
Forecast is for sunny 27 C for the next 5 days!! Let's just hope it turns out that way! Booked our flight to Hue (3rd biggest city in Vietnam) for Nov 13 to 16 soo if anybody's been there give me a shout... Went to doctor today cos eye still red and got some new drops for it (diagnosis: conjuctivitis). Should be OK. Teaching tomorrow morning again so will sign off for now.
