We got a little unexpected event yesterday. Some kid got a deep cut on his foot in front of our apartment. We helped him out n got one hell of a reception from his friends while we washed n covered the wound.

Such a small simple thing but if you were in my place...you'd see things a whole lot differently. I guess being in a foreign land, you'll come to accept the lifestyle and nature of the locals. Let's not forget...the Americans came here and were HANDILY defeated. So instead of looking at it like it's a 3rd world country, there's a lot to learn and understand. Maybe perhaps there are going to be some things I WONT understand but that's the point isnt it?

We'll keep wondering and someday we'll know. So anyway, my working hours have increased from 9am-9pm. heh. yeahh...go yell.

So far,I've taught statistics, indices and algebraic manipulation. Today's lesson is going to be problem solving and heuristics. A topic never taught before in SG but highly useful. I cld think of tons of singaporeans who cld use heuristics!

Anyway, the locals have gained an immense respect. Hanoi used to be just an ordinary kampong but its getting into a full blown developing country. At this particular juncture of OSIP, I'm already fully enjoying myself. The locals, baffling shophouses, teaching and a wide array of products.

The kids at the centre are pretty well off so I guess its time to shift my focus from the kids to the staff at the centre instead.

And for those of you with raging hormones...I havent got my vietnamese bride. lol. So dont get any ideas!

I still havent found a crumpler bag shop or factory here in Hanoi though I know there's one in Saigon. Hopefully I can make a trip there one day.

OPEN INVITATION!: Who wants to go to Ho Chi Minh City one day?!

I'll be back when you call me; no need to say goodbye
