Free Saturday morning

I got the IELTS and TOEIC certificates, not bad. And this morning I do not have to go to work. So feeling extremely relaxed. Besides, the internet is alive again. How can we survive without it? :-)

Music on and time to do the cleaning job. A bit tired but so wonderful when seeing the showers, taps and sinks shining. I have never had a housemaid and doing housework is never my problem. Perhaps that is because the flat is not big :-).

In the near future, we will have more free Saturdays. Our university is planning to reduce 6 teaching days to 5. I will have more free time. I should plan to do something new :-).

WIN 8.1 PRO AND OFFICE 365 / GENUINE

I decided to get my laptop updated. This time it cost a lot of money and a lot of my effort. I am sure I will get used to this new system in a short term. It is so much different from the old one. Luckily I have little experience from using smart phones and a long distance assistant. Therefore, no problem at all.

A nice weekend in Bangkok

I just had another chance to visit Bangkok. Luckily it was sunny most of my stay. Not the first time I  have been there but I still felt so excited. Many good memories came back to my mind...

New motorbike - special gift

I got a new motorbike TODAY. Since I could ride a motorbike this is the first time I have had a motorbike under my name. Believe or not, after almost 20 years. The Vespa came into my life at a right time: I just entered the world of 39- year -old ladies some days ago and one day before Valentine's Day.

The new bike is heavier and a bit higher than my old Attila. I intend to pratice riding it for several days before officially using it on roads.

Honestly, I felt a bit nervous when riding such a nice but expensive motorbike :-).

When I am 39 ...

About 52.5 kilos, 1.57 meters, long dark thick hair, still have so many dreams, so many ambitions and still hardheaded. One year older, more mature, more experienced...Who likes being older? :-)

The year of horse 2014

Happy New Year! The year of horse is coming in almost one hour. I hope it will bring my family and me good fortune and luck.

Siem Riep 2014

As soon as we started our 3-week Tet holiday, I visited Siem Riep, a small but really famous city in Cambodia. Siem Riep is in the dry season. Therefore, the weather was nice: sunny and warm. Much better than Hanoi: cold and cloudy. 

As a real tourist, I visited the temples and museums during the day and went to Siem Riep's old quarter at twilight for drinks and dinner. Not difficult at all because temples are located near each other and all are in the forest not very far from the our hotel. On the map for tourists the areas are noticeable 'squares' and the ways to there are really 'tourist friendly'. You cannot get lost. The most popular means of transport in SiemRiep is 'tuk tuk' and the driver was very friendly and careful.

Temples in Siem Riep were impressive and nice. Over the time and wars they were destroyed a lot. However, the remaining is enough to prove how wonderful they were. So many photos were taken in the temples I visited. Although all of them were taken by my smart phone not by professional cameras, they were still great :-).

There were a lot of tourists in Siem Riep. They came from so many different countries but not many Vietnamese people there. On my flight to Siem Riep and back to Hanoi, I did not see any Vietnamese people except the cabin crew :-). I just felt a bit that I was lucky to be a teacher whose holiday is always longer than most of other jobs and I was happy when I had another chance to open my mind and admire one of the world's wonders.
