You unnerstand my mean

Mmm just stuffed my face in the Vietnamese restaurant in the little courtyard just by the Caravelle (next to the Refinery) – it was probably really expensive for here ($16 for 3 dishes and a drink) but a bargain compared to the hotel - $16 for a burger (no fries) and $20 for the breakfast buffet!! I’ve just been going to a café in the street behind where a croissant and coffee is $3- thought I’d be nice and save my boss some money (even though he doesn’t deserve it at the moment…grrr) Sorry that my blog hasn’t been very exciting so far – my days involve sitting in a van in heavy traffic, watching thousands of mopeds go past, cutting up plastic shoes in a large sweaty building, whilst pulling evil faces at “lying man” my least favourite colleague in the factory, eating pomello, dodging the streams of piss in the back alleys of Saigon looking for places to eat and watching shit US tv in my hotel room. I’m reaching the stage now of struggling to write and talk in joined up English, by the end of the week I will be fluent in pidgin!! To make up for my neglect tomorrow (and to stop me from going mad from boredom whilst waiting for shoes to appear) I’ll try to take pictures of my erm…exciting daily life!!

    yes yes yes....the o leer challenge..i have some questions.....how many ladies does it take to cut the grass with the nail scissors? How many times a day do the stairs get polished? will it rain at 4pm tommorrow? are the trees dead yet or do they still look like theyve been catapulted into the car park off a random lorry? x

    Well to answer your very pertinent questions it takes precisely 14 ladies as long as they possibly can get away with being outside talking, to cut the grass with nail scissors. The stairs are polished approximately 10 times a day in the house (maybe only once in the factory) It will not rain tomorrow at 4 - for some reason its only raining at night at the moment!! The trees in the car park still look dead- I will provide you with photographic evidence -maybe you can use some CSI style tricks to find life there (I've been watching a lot of CSI- its simultaniously really addictive and a load of old bollocks...) Miss you too xxx
