Well, well, well,
How's everyone doing? Getting into the festive spirit? It's been a while since I posted anything but I'll make up for it with a christmas bonanza post today with photos and videos for you. It's not really christmas over here; 25 degrees and no holidays- but there are some decorations up and the 'western' bars and coffeeshops are all playing classic christmas songs which is a bit surreal. Things are going well, lots of work at the bar and quite a bit of english teaching all keeping me busy. Football training is going well and the league is a mixture of vietnamese and expat teams. Our next game is on the 6th January (christmas break for the expat teams), and you'll obviously be getting a detailed match report.
After 25 years of succesfully avoiding it, I spent last saturday night warming up for work by going to a karaoke night. Images of getting up in the middle of a busy pub swaying from the Jamesons singing dirty old town should immediately be dismissed. Over here it's a national sport. You get a private room with plenty of booze, a massive tv and songbook and everyone just goes for it. Despite the visible pain caused whenever I opened my mouth, I may even go back. So, you get a few photos from the karaoke and I managed to take a couple at the bar to give you an idea. I also got round to doing a mini video tour by moped. This trip is from my house to Ho Chi Minh's mausoleum and then to my favourite spot for a coffee via Lenin's statue. I'll get round to doing one of the old quarter for you but for now you'll have to make do with these.
For the photos...
and for the moped tour....

For those of you who don't have an in depth knowledge of Alan Partridge I apologise in advance as I must just sound like a raving lunatic.
And on that bombshell all that remains is for me to wish everyone a very merry christmas and happy new year.
Cheers for all your comments (Mr. Cash, how did you know where I was)
much love from Hanoi
Carlo

wazaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa GROS!!!
Suis très contant de voir que tout roule pour toi.
En parlant de rouler, j'ai été super flippé par les vidéos du moped tour...
J'ai vraiment cru que tu allais te taper un piéton, une voiture, un pouss pouss, un poteau.. or wathever..
Mais bon, je me suis rappelé que les italiens étaient assez à l'aise dans ce genre de situation... j'espère pour toi que tu mama n'est pas tombé sur ces vidéos, sans quoi elle est capable de venir te chercher à Hanoï... "Carlo, vuelvete a cas ahora mismo".
bueno, ici, on est dans les préparatifs de la fin d'année, tout se passe pour le mieux si ce n'est que tu nous manques.
Passe une bonne fin d'année.. et meilleurs voeux pour celle à venir. .
