On vacation!!!

So I've officially finished work and am on vacation for the New Year! A week off....I was originally planning on sticking around Saigon, but realized that a week here would be a long time, so Freya and I are leaving for Mui Ne tomorrow (feel free to check out the results of a google image search) and staying there for three or four days. It should be a nice, relaxing time, and I'll be sure to post pictures when I get back.

I haven't been up to much - working and hanging out with some of the other teachers. On Wednesday Marleen and I went to the Sheraton for Happy Hour, and then down to the street to take some pictures of all of the lights that have gone up for Tet.

The view from the Sheraton (Rex Hotel on the right, the middle has millions of flowers on display for Tet):

Other than that, nothing much to report from here. I'm starting to get my own classes and when I have to start work again (on the 20th), I'll have a full schedule of four of my own classes, then one of my own the following Tuesday and Thursday...which means that I'm just one class (on Tuesday/Thursday) shy of having a full schedule of my own classes!

Hope everyone's enjoying their winter weather as I'll be sweltering away on a beach in 95+° heat.....
