A lovely, easy catchup with a few Brisbane based classmates and wives as we passed through Brisbane. Possiby we were not well organised – should have firstly given more notice, and secondly arranged to be in the Gold Coast to catch up with others – but that’s what happens when you don’t have an itinerary or a schedule (ie no organisation!). We’ll do better next time.

Looking good.
I’m still in Da Lat in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. Life is very good here.
I will return to the big smoke in Saigon for a couple of weeks on Wednesday, then back to the eco resort. A new local bar has just opened in Da Lat called, believe it or not, ‘The Down Under’. (One has to descent to enter so I guess that’s appropriate.) The poor bar owner, Peter, from Victoria, opened only a month before the virus struck. Da Lat is very much a tourist town so he’s struggling to stay afloat.
There is hardly a Westerner in Da Lat these days. It’s allowed my Vietnamese to improve from appalling to merely very bad. A 6 tone language is a bugger for a nonlinguist like me.
Who won’t be happy to see the end of this virus, but it’s not going away soon I fear. Cheers. Jabber.
