Plans are starting to come together for our 2 day trip to Vietnam. Too bad Vietnam is turning out to be a lot more money that I ever would have guessed for what everyone calls "cheaper than China". Seriously....
Where are we going? Flying into Hanoi (Northern Vietnam and the Capital of current Vietnam) which mixes old with new (founded in 1010, inhabited in 3000 BC) and has 6.2 million people. We're spending a day there, then Saturday we go to Halong Bay which is in North East Vietnam and is a neat looking system of isles and caves made of limestone. Should be plenty of photo opportunities there. James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies was filmed and partly took place in the Ha Long Bay area.Sunday we return to Hanoi to enjoy more sites, returning to Taipei late Sunday evening.
Even though we're going North and Ho Chi Minh (former Miss Saigon) is in the south, I'll still sing something from Miss Saigon.... Any other Vietnam song references??? Most of the songs in the 60s would probably qualify!
Lesson Learned for this week.... "free coffee" at work is a bad thing. Especially after about 3 big mugs full in the afternoon. That usually turns into me not sleeping till 1:30am last night. There is more free coffee today at work - see if I can enjoy in moderation this time!
I was sent a pretty funny and creative webpage. Remember all those great music videos of the past where the words of the song don't really match what's going on in the video? Well someone took the time to change the lyrics to match the video for A-Ha's Take On Me and I'm glad they did:)
Presidential "Debate" - more like Presidential "Rambling".... *YAWN* Looks like the VP debate last week was the highlight of the race. This thing over with yet?
