Looking Out My Window

December 2nd, 2003 by Nick Tay



Yesterday I decided to go back to the Hotel while there was still a little sunshine left, Manage to get this pic of the pool. I took a short dip, but the pool is really small, and its only 1 Meter deep at its deepest point. So when you are 1.8 Meters tall, it doesn’t really seem like a lot of fun. Not to mention I can’t swim.

Turned on the TV and watched some shows, and to my Joy and my Delight, they were playing “Sleepless in Seattle” on HBO. Yeah!! I love that movie. “In the wea small hours of the morning, when the whole wide world is fast a sleep”. I am sucker for Romantic Comedies. Anyhoo.

I ordered something new. Mexican food!! Who would imagine having that in Vietnam? I ordered Beef Fajitas, Garlic Bread and the Soup of the Day, to the grand total of USD13.20 after 10% VAT. (Value Added Tax). It was good though, and I can’t complain. Hopefully my office wont either when I submit my claims :)

Today is my favorite Day in Hanoi. Why Monday? Because on Monday (and Tuesday), the girls have to wear thier Traditional Vietnamese Dress to work (The Au-Dai). And they really really look good. Especially Ho Hien, who I will try and get a picture of this trip. She refused to let me take a picture of her last time :)

Anyways, back to work.
