For more info on my travels in Canada - UK - Hong Kong - Taiwan - Thailand - Vietnam check out this blog.
Have just got through my snail mail and work email and am now back up to speed and I think adjusted to the time difference between here and Vietnam which is behind Australia by 3 hours.
Good news in the post was that I passed my two recent Master degree subjects with 'Distinctions'. Will be getting back into triathlon training and the Sydney social circuit.
Other news is that I have signed up to do a beginners Mandarin class here on Tuesday nights. Did the first one yesterday and found that the first hurdle is actually trying to say the basic sounds in Chinese. If you're interested then check out this site on Chinese/Pinyin Pronunciation and this site for some free podcasts of introduction Chinese.
Picture below is the view from my office window although on Monday it was blue skies and 30C!
