A ride my bike here every day, try not to get hit with fishing rods.

Weekends don’t really have the same feeling when you don’t do anything with the rest of your week. My first two proper weekends in 6 months have been spent almost exactly the same way as when I was in Sydney, but more lonely, with more massages and less housework. Which basically means sleep, shop, cook, eat, tv, internet, hang out. Yesterday I did the shopping: 100,00vnd worth of meat and veg at the market, then 400,000vnd for a handful of items at the supermarket. This morning I had a disappointingly average massage, then bun cha and a stroll.

I see things differently through a viewfinder, I should take my lonely camera out more often.

There is so much quick and dirty construction happening, piles of bricks, mountains of sand and gravel and death traps of re-bar are the norm.

These girls were surrounded by an entourage at the back gate of the Sheraton. I don’t know what their deal was but they certainly wanted to pose.
