Me and some revolutionary friends

Vietnam must be one of the last few places where the revolutionary statues are not just historical artefacts. Lots of people were getting their photos taken under these revolutionary heroes, so I thought I would join in.

Living the high life in Hanoi

It is not everyone who can get a plastic table and stool on the footpath and a bottle of warm water, but when you have connections, life can be pretty good.

Not Florence, but still a room with a view

A view of lots of roof tops, but below there are people everywhere - racing around on their bikes and squeezing every little bit out of life and what they have.

How smart are the Vietnamese?

No photos this time, just admiration for the Vietnamese - great food, vibrant cities, etc AND they have blocked Facebook. Will the pleasures never end?

Friday night in UB

This is me, Urjin, Mike and Kathrine from our project celebrating the end of the week at a very stylish restaurant overlooking a temple. Sadly the photographer managed to capture only the Soviet era buidlings in this shot. Lovely evenings at the moment.

Ulaan Bataar by twilight

We are having great weather here in UB - well above zero most of the time, and the dust storms last only a few hours. Look at the light in this shot of me in the big square in the centre of town - with the old opera house and the new office town behind.
