John Manley at Maple Healthcare Dental Clinic

---

Today Former Deputy Prime Minister John Manley to Maple Healthcare for some treatment. He is in HCMC on business and we spent 25 minutes talking in the lobby while his wife visited the dentist. Imagine, traveling to Vietnam to get your dental work done... Word has apparently spread about how high quality but cheap it is.

Anyways, very interesting guy (Ottawa native, graduate from Carleton, Deputy Prime Minister etc.) We talked about his career, he asked how I ended up here, and he even gave me an update on canal conditions during Winterlude 2006 back in the Capital.

So, despite the fact that I keep posting all of these party shots or updates from me off on another beach vacation or at some festival, you'll see that I still manage to do may share of schmoozing. Have I mentioned lately that I love Vietnam?

Hey
So I tried your email and it doesn't seem to be working, so this may be less personal but more direct. I got your message and was driving so was probably out of range. Nice pictures. Small world eh? So leave a number and the time difference somewhere and I will try you1 Cheers Harold

Sweet!
Your blog even works in Cambodia although some others are blocked. So I can still get news from 'home'. Nice white smile, by the way! ;-) See you tomorrow. Cheers, Sandra
