Oi gioi oi

Feeling better now- thanks for your support! Hawaii sounds fun! I start my Vietnamese lessons on Saturday, so that should help me a bit with my confidence. Been buzzing around on the back of motorcycle taxis trying to get where I should be going, by writing down the address on a piece of paper and the amount of money I will pay- so far this works! Strangely I got into a taxi outside work, and was having a conversation (in vietnamese- with the help of my dictionary) with the driver, and he said you're from Denmark aren't you madam!! How strange. Either he was psychic or I'm getting a reputation...

I have a couple of sentences I can say without my little vietnamese book: Oi gioi oi- very popular in the office... and ten toi laa Shazzy :) Not sure of the spelling but also ten ban la gi - makes people smile and tell me their name :) So I'm picking it up. Vietnamese is easier to write than say... all those noises you have to make!!

Anyway things are stressfull right now but Im sure I'll get through it. So many things are wrong with this apartment it's untrue- but my landlordy people - one of whom brought me red roses at the weekend!! Seem to be fixing it all... slowly...

Better get to work. Already looking forward to the weekend!

Sounds like things are going the right way for you. Really good idea with the lessons. Have you desided if you will come back to us again or stay out there forever. We miss you you know.
