term update

I know it has been a shame that in 3 months this is only my second post. Brunei is not as quiet as we first thought it would be. The school term was brilliant and it ended with a school trip to Vietnam. My personal life has taken a turn for the better and it seems that SoLucky's luck is the flip side of the coin for 2010.

My holiday in Vietnam was fantastic, I explored the southern region seeing that I only had 8 days in travelling around. Vietnam is an interesting country and I would love to go back to see the rest of it. The main thing to remember when you are in HMC is that crossing the road is a leap of faith. Traffic lights are more like guidelines, fastest finger on the hooter gives you right of way in any intersection. In their chaotic way of understanding road rules, everyone allows everyone else to go, there is no road rage. I have seen bicycles being overtaken by a motorbike, which is overtaken by a car, the car being overtaken by a truck and a bus overtaken all of this simultanously on a winding mountain pass with uncoming traffic and everyone was unharmed afterwards.

Vietnam is so diverse and so many things to be seen an experience, the 8 days was just enough leaving me wanting more of the country. I met interesting people and heard loads of different travel stories.

All for another day, back in brunei, sorting everything out for the last term.
