Too Funny Even though it's the third world thingy..., it's still hilarious reading your blog about day to day life in Saigon. I guess that we're in the west taking something as basic like running water for granted. It seems you're still having a good time doing a noble work helping people (besides all the chores, of course).

Hey you Hey you! I have several inappropriate things to say about almost all of your experiences to date that really shouldn't be read be your run-of-the-mill blog whore (yes that IS the rest of you... get your filthy eyes off my private thoughts, please!). Which email address (out of your several) are you yousing (hee hee I've been reading a lot of Joyce recently). Ahem... using? Oh and for the rest of you run-of-the-mill blog whores... I'm sure her majesty will allow you to cast your filthy eyes upon her email address too. Maybe. Ha ha ha ha.
Sod off.
hi! I read your other post (the palace), i am glad you are liking vietnam already. just wanted to let you know that pho and bo in 'pho bo' is not supposed to rhyme when you say it. pho rhymes with duh(i guess ddeerrrr without the r sound) and bo rhymes with saw. at least thats how i'd translate it to someone with an american accent(keep saying 'duh saw' over and over and replace with 'phuh baw' that should sound pretty close to what it should sound like), i can't really imitate an australian accent too well to see what would be the best way to translate it to someone with an australian accent. also there is some tonage which are depicted by those symbols you see over and under some of the vowels. i hope you learn well in your vietnamese classes and enjoy your stay in vietnam.
