Saturday, September 06, 2003. Back on the Ho Chi Minh Trail. I betcha thought (for those two still reading) that because my last entry detailed how I got engaged, and I haven't written since, that I'm all "Well, that's it for independent pursuits. I's a married lady now, I'm done." It's all ". Think," this and ". Plan to do," that from now on. Well, bullocks to you. I've just had a lot on my mind. Talk to you all soon. Maybe I'll know some Vietnamese then, aside from mastering how to order noodle soup.

Sunday, October 26, 2003. No more hotel life for us- we have our very own apartment! So, we both liked the first one better. We saw it on Tuesday and moved in Wednesday morning. Easiest move I ever made. Usually my moves require recruiting parents and friends, hiring a van, and puffing up and down three flights of stairs in my old character building without lifts. Moving for years has included the hoisting of an akwardly-rolled futon, but not this time! Coffeetable outside, along with those teenytiny pla...

Tuesday, December 23, 2003. There's an old Christmas card in an old rusty trunk. Frankly, I’d rather see Rudolph seriously injured than sit through Jim Carrey’s Grinch. Cam dug that one out of a box at the DVD store, and showed it to me, cocking his head to the side in jest, as though either of us would entertain the idea of passing Christmas with a perverted version of a Christmas classic. So what are we doing for Christmas then? What does anyone do? Have a great holiday! Wednesday, December 03, 2003.

Friday, November 14, 2003. Dear Harry and Sophie,. How was your Halloween? What did you dress up as? We eat a big bowl each of chicken or beef slices with rice noodles and green onions. And we put vinegar in there! It's called pho and it's very good. We tried bun bo the other day, which is a bowl of beef, a different kind of noodle, vinegary vegetables, basil and peanuts. Sounds weird, I know, but it's delicious. We always eat with chopsticks. It's easy and I bet you could do it too. WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

Sunday, July 27, 2003. Nha Trang, Vietnam, July 24, 2003. Tomorrow was the deep dive- the big plunge. Our advanced open water course now allowed us to go as far as 30 metres, and tomorrow would be the first time anywhere near that. The depth comes with some dangers, though: you run out of air much more quickly , you can get lost more easily because it's darker, and your chance of decompression sickness, or. Increases. In the face of this, I explained to him my fear:. It is peaceful- quiet, calm, meditati...

Friday, June 27, 2003. My hair hasn't been fully dry since last Tuesday. And my calves haven't been pain-free since the day after that. That was the day we went snorkelling the first time, slapping our fins against the turquoise Malaysian water, attracting the intense sun to my fleshy, white, Canadian legs. Snorkelling wasn't enough though, so we took a 4-day course in SCUBA diving, (or. Intones the PADI, or Professional Association of Diving Instructors, corporate video, hiding no sense of.
