It's been a hectic week since I got back the previous weekend. There's loads to catch up on since I have been away for quite a bit. Capitalising on the fact that I will not be headed back to Hanoi till the end of this month, there isn't a better time to touch base with my clients. My activities from the past week has reaped positive results so ...

It's been a busy week here thus I have not been able to find time to post here earlier. Well, I did a little more exploring the past week and checked out a few more joints. I knew there is an Irish Pub in Hanoi and I have even past by it on the way home from the office but it wasn't until the past week that I ...

Below is another photo I took at Quan Bia Minh last evening. The little tower across the road would make a really nice spot to have a private Jacuzzi. It's high enough above the surrounding buildings and provides sufficient concealment for some privacy. For the exhibitionist, it's a pretty cool spot too amidst all the traffic below.

Except for feeling a little sore, it allowed me to step into the office yesterday afternoon. GH thought it would be a good idea for me to sit in the meeting with Lan Anh and Tuan Anh since ...

Well, I only got back here again on Wednesday and it has been a busy week up till now. Got the eye infection again this morning and told GH I'm going to work out of the apartment today. Just visited the pharmacy round the corner and picked up some eye drops. I was suppose to meet this lady today from our partner in Hanoi. Shoot! What timing! I ...

Just for the fun of it, I took some pictures with both my new X61 and 1.5 year old R60. Even with the 8 cell battery attached to the X61, the R60 is still wider. X61 sitting atop the R60. While the X61s would have been completely flat without the little bumps at the base, the X61 is almost half the thickness of the R60. The neatest little gadget about the ...
