more tidbits

you've all seen the email wih the crazy people carrying stuff on motor bikes ... well believe it. they carry building materials (2x4s', pipes, ladders, cable, etc.). i saw two guys on a motor bike with a big screen tv and a dvr in a box sandwiched between them. saw a guy with crates of ducks or chickens; saw another with a big basket probably with something in it. its pretty interesting.

today is Wednesday ... usual morning routine, dad swam, i showered did emails, had breakfast, went for walk to river, read kindle, then went to wine shop and ordered 12 bottles for delivery, then for swim about 11 then lunch at 1230 (smoked salmon salad bean sprouts, lemon, onion, garlic, lettuce, and other stff). went to town, got a couple things at ben than market and saigon square. had ice coffee at highland coffee, taxi back at 345. dad home at 5 ... stomach problems from last nights dinner he thinks. on my own for dinner since he has customers and no females. went to mekong merchant for salmon dinner. wearing checked capri and black top. wore navy shorts and orange shirt during day. very hot. ms. han loved all the shipment goodies. particularly loved the thai chinese cookbook (from costco) and the bathroom scale. and the garlic peeler if you can imagine that. dad's bike, helmet, waterbottle all made it too. and i'd forgotten i put some stuff for me (disposable razors, face lotions, etc. which was a nice surprise).

Tuesday - went to a crazy Hanoi style restaurant for dinner. super casual. food was spicy. loud talking hanoi people at next table, which is typical i;m told. white linen and peach capris. the shipment was delivered to the house late afternoon ... ms. han hasnt seen everything. hope she is happy with all the stuff.
