Oook So I haven’t blogged in awhile.. but that is because I have been so busy.
Most importantly, today I met with the people where I will be working – and it is super awesome so far. Nearly everyone there has some English language, and they are doing some interesting work. Hopefully I can contribute as much as I can to this wonderful opportunity.
I also saw where I might be living. While it doesn’t have a kitchen, since it is a residence for forign students there ought to be some English speakers around. The room itself is nice – and it is close to work. I don’t like the lack of a kitchen, so I may try to look around a bit to see if I can find something with a kitchen.
Last Tuesday, we went on an excision to the old city to a local hang out that was supposed to have really good live music. So we all piled into cabs and drove down to find this place.
Now, since Hanoi is full of wibbly streets, what initially appears to be solid buildings, are often honey combed with little court yards full of nice shops and markets. It just so happens this resurant/hippie cinema place is in one such location. So we start walking down this kinda sketchy looking ally looking for this place… and I am thinking to myslf – ‘ for sure we are going to get jacked’.. but all of a sudden the ally opens up into this really nice little covered court yard full of happy looking people.
So we settle down for some dinner waiting for the show to start. While the food wasn’t the greatest I have had here.. there made a decent attempt at a hummos. But man once the music started I was blown away. I am not really sure how to describe it –since I havnt herd good cover music from an independent singer in awhile. Regardless – she was awesome and the night was a success.. and no one got jacked.
The best thing is that, since she plays there every Tuesday – it could become a regular way of meeting up with everyone for a nice little night out during the week.
