Tet booked!

Tet (Lunar New Year) holiday is the first 2 weeks of February in 2013.  Since we have no visitors at this time unfortunately... :( , we decided to join our friends Alex and Greg on a trip to...

The mystery destination... from Google images!!!

Can you guess where???  The image above is from Google.  The first person to guess correctly will receive something in the mail... :)

One month

It is now less than one month away from the next big adventure... can you guess where?

EUROPE.

Yes, we are going to Europe for Christmas!  After debating about where to go, Europe randomly got thrown in the mix.  I always wanted to visit Europe at Christmas time, and now we're actually going to do it!

From Ho Chi Minh City, we will fly to Prague, Czech Republic.  After visiting Prague, we plan to travel around Austria and then possibly to Budapest, Hungary before flying back to HCMC.  On the way home, we have a stopover in Dubai.  It's going to be one expensive, crazy day in Dubai, but YOLO (hahaha).  YOLO = you only live once!

I'm really excited about this trip, but now it's time to get some winter clothing before our vacation.  It just might be a white Christmas for us after all!

Teacher's Day 2012

November 20th was a special day in Vietnam... Teacher's Day!!!  On this day, all the teachers at school were recognized for all their hard work.  We received roses and gift certificates for a popular store.  Students brought in presents... it was awesome!  I received lots of cards, flowers, fancy tea, 2 scarves, a hand-made Christmas tree skirt, a key chain, bottle of wine, and a huge cake.  John received restaurant gift certificates, a dress shirt, a silk pyjama shirt, an Armani (likely fake!) belt, a backpack, a bunch of chocolate, and a mysterious elixir in a bottle for his "lungs" among other things.  Too bad every day wasn't Teacher's Day!!!

Thanks for the cake Henry... lol!

Happy Halloween 2012!

Another Halloween has come and gone...

At school we went to a "haunted house" put on by the older kids, had a costume parade, and then went trick-or-treating to other classrooms.  Gotta love when teachers dress up...

John dressed up simple as the colour "red"
