Electricity and the internet has been up and down and I cannot bring up this website in my browser (could it be blocked by the gov’t)?
And there was another earthquake near Taiwan (signal from the elite?) on Jan 19th which again broke the undersea telephone/internet cable. So I’m again back to MODEM internet speeds with anything outside of Vietnam. Lately I’ve been downloading from Europe and Russia because it probably doesn’t use the same cable.
Megan is on the ‘puter next to me playing on a new game (Mr. Potato Saves Veggie Valley). She played it in the US, but I just made her a copy here. She’s really has been talking Vietnamese a lot and playing with her nephew, Win.
Because Win is so interested in learning the computer and playing computer games, I have some leverage and am using it to have him eat his own supper without and a lot of dinner table problems. Amazing what both he and Megan can do when they have a strong incentive.
Mai just cut a bowl of fresh mangos – yummmmmmy. Megan and I are really enjoying ourselves. Each bite puts me in ecstasy. How I love that tropical fruit!
Met a guy Saturday named Richard from Maine. He lives appox 25 miles north of my bro, Richard. I took him around on the 70cc motorcycle and then Sunday, Megan, he and I all managed to fit on to moto – Megan sitting in the front, then me in the middle and Richard on the back (and he wasn’t a small guy).
We drove to the other side of Hue to a great restaurant which served a specialty of Hue, then onwards in a drizzly rain into the countryside, then back thru Hue to a bakery and then finally to a coffee shop where Megan had her hot chocolate which she had been forward to all day.
I had driven the route several times (sometime by myself and sometimes with other people) in the sunshine and it certainly had a different atmosphere in the colder, drizzly rain weather.
Just had a GOOD BURP after finishing that wonderful bowl of fresh, juicy mangos. Megan (on a mat on the tile floor) and I are pleasantly satisfied sitting next to each other ‘puttering.
