Because of Chinese New Year festivities, most people in Hong Kong have a 4 day weekend, starting this Saturday. Because I am a teacher, I have 10 full days off (score!). Hence, yet another trip. Me and my German liebling leave for Vietnam at the crack of dawn on Saturday morning and are very much looking forward to 6 days of relaxation and discovery. After “rugged” trips to Nepal and East Africa (man, camping, hiking, stomach troubles, no running water, and scant electricity are no joke!) I decided that this trip was going to be one of (moderate) luxury. Thanks to the German liebling (who planned EVERYTHING, bless his heart), we should have a really great vacay. Initially, we had wanted to go to Bali for Chinese New Year, but exorbitant prices and lack of time (he only has 5 days off), meant that flying all the way to Indonesia for a ridiculous amount of money just wasn’t in the cards for us. Liebling started talking about Vietnam and how cool it is (he’s already been) and worked out all the schedules/itineraries/tickets/accommodation so how could I say no? And it is his birthday on the 12th and Valentine’s Day on the 14th (coincidentally the same day as the actual Chinese New Year’s day this year) and so pourquoi pas. Add to it that he is moving back to Europe indefinitely for work at the end of the month *sniff! sniff!* so it seemed like a nice thing to do to relax, relate, release, and spend some quality time together before he rides (flies) off into the sunset.
He booked tickets flying out from Macau on Macau’s low-cost air carrier Viva Macau (the Asian equivalent of RyanAir/JetBlue/EasyJet), though, in this popular time of travel (even busier than Christmas!!!), the tickets were unfortunately not that cheap (gulp)! So at the crack of dawn, we are taking a ferry from HK to Macau, then trucking it to the airport there. Then, the plan is to fly from Macau to Ho Chi Minh City (in the south of Vietnam) and take a hydrofoil directly to the closest beach, called Vung Tau. Apparently it is a haven for locals and tourists alike, which should be interesting. The beach is not the most beautiful in Vietnam (and certainly will not compare to the white sand beaches of Zanzibar) but I like the idea of being close to a major city (HCMC is only an hour hydrofoil ride away) and in a hotbed of activity!

Thanks ladies!!!
Right on my man!
Why is it I always really feel like you do?
Hey there would you mind letting me know which hosting
company you’re utilizing? I’ve loaded your blog in 3 completely
different browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot faster
then most. Can you recommend a good web hosting provider at a honest price?
Many thanks, I appreciate it!
Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about
this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message
home a little bit, but other than that, this is wonderful blog.
A great read. I’ll definitely be back.
Wow! At last I got a blog from where I can truly obtain valuable facts regarding my study and knowledge.
Thanks for sharing your info. I truly appreciate your efforts and I am waiting for your next write
ups thank you once again.
We are a bunch of volunteers and starting a brand new scheme in our community.
Your website offered us with helpful info to work on. You’ve done a formidable process and our entire community might be thankful to you.
Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is important and all. But think about if you added some great pictures or
video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is
excellent but with images and video clips, this site
could undeniably be one of the best in its niche.
Superb blog!
I could not refrain from commenting. Well written!
Hi there, just wanted to mention, I enjoyed this blog post.
It was practical. Keep on posting!
I do agree with all the ideas you have offered in your post.
They’re very convincing and can certainly work.
Still, the posts are too brief for novices. May you please
lengthen them a bit from subsequent time? Thank you for the
post.
A motivating discussion is definitely worth comment. I think that you need to publish more on this subject matter, it might
not be a taboo matter but typically people don’t discuss these issues.
To the next! Many thanks!!
It’s amazing in favor of me to have a site, which is valuable designed for
my know-how. thanks admin
Good day! I just want to give you a big thumbs up for the excellent information you have got here on this post.
I will be returning to your site for more soon.
Hi would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with?
I’m looking to start my own blog soon but I’m having a hard time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and
Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different
then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your article seem to
be running off the screen in Chrome. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do
with web browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know.
The design and style look great though! Hope you get the problem resolved soon. Thanks

work? I am completely new to blogging however I do write in my diary on a daily basis.
