Stop Press!

Trying to finish Cyprus trip. Four new videos uploaded into previous posts.

After trotting around Southeast Asia over the summer, I'm now back in the UK - Cambridge to be exact. Am trying my best to update as frequently as my clinical course will allow.

Entries on Italy and France two winters ago have been put on hold indefinitely. Read: possibly never. But we shall see.

Entries on Greece and Turkey last winter have also been put on hold for the time being.

Ho Chi Minh Residence


Visiting Uncle Ho's residence confirms my suspicions: the Vietnamese do indeed live simple lives. For example, they don't believe in cushions or mattresses. Hence, their couches and chairs have hard seats and their beds consist of a rattan mat placed over the supporting woodwork. They also don't use air-conditioners: contented instead with a table fan underneath the mosquito net suspended over the bed. I think it's a great idea.
