I have posted all of my photos in a Facebook Album and I would love you to view them by clicking here: Jamie on Facebook. You do not have join FB to view them :-)
So here I am wondering where the last few days went! I have been doing a bit of shopping, and a bit of eating in different cafe's, and one day (its a blur)spent the whole afternoon with a bunch of kids celebrating my nephew Ben's 7th birthday. I had forgotten how noisy and exciting birthday parties can be.
I really enjoy walking around the streets by myself, and have done this on a couple of occasions now, with a few nice photos to show for it. It doesn't matter where you go, you still see new sights and every street can bring new opportunities for a great photo or a video clip. I have not had time to get my video ready for posting, but will do it as soon as I can. Sometimes I am torn between using my camera to take still shots, and using my video camera to capture the movement and the sounds.
Below are a few more photos for you to enjoy, and hopefully will convey the sense of this amazing city:
A common site on the street is an overloaded bicycle.
Above is Trung Nguyen Coffee, a new franchise that specialises in serving Vietnamese
coffee in the traditional drip filter style. It was a lovely little piece of parardise right in the
centre of the city where I sampled some chocolate cake! There was no smoking allowed
inside either, which was a nice change.

The street names don't exactly roll off your tongue!
You pay 2000VND to park your motorbike here. That's about 10c

There are many street cleaners who do a great job.
