Long time no blog!!!
Sorry I haven’t updated this page for so long. We have been very busy….
After the earthquake, which was a real shaker even in Chiba, we were advised to leave Japan for a bit to see how the nuclear situation panned out. We ended up flying the Saigon (HCMC) in Vietnam. At first we couldn’t believe the number of scooters on the road, and the hap hazard way of life there. But as the days went by, we really started to like Vietnam. Hopefully, we will go back again someday for a holiday. Crossing the street in Saigon is a real problem. You have to weave in and out of all the scooters, and with a pregnant wife and small child in tow it can be a real mission!!
We stayed in a really nice and friendly hotel. We were in downtown Saigon, so it was a bit noisy at night time. But apart from that, it was fine.
This is the view from the hotel window.
We decided to head to a water park to take Hana’s mind of what was happening in Japan. She had a great time, and was inundated with Vietnamese people coming up to her and saying how pretty she is!!
She thought it was very funny when Daddy put on her hat!!!!
Here she is pretending she can read………….
When we left Japan, we left in a hurry and had to pack things we thought were essential as if the nuclear situation got really bad we might not be able to go home.
Hana packed this little yellow bag with her “extra special” toys inside, and carried it around with her all the time.
Then, when we heard things were getting better in Japan we decided to come home. As soon as we arrived home Hana conked out on the sofa!!!
Anyway, I will try and keep this page updated more regularly from now on!!!
All the best,
Eddie
