Pho Boi, A Taste of Vietnam on No.5 Road in Richmond
2011-11-11 16:00:00 I decided to visit the newest Vietnamese restaurant in Richmond for lunch on a Saturday. Most importantly, the boys agreed to the idea. I am still in the search of dry mix Vietnamese noodle with lots of fried shallot and brown sauce. The latest addition to the many Vietnamese restaurants in Richmond is Pho Bou, A Taste of Vietname on No. 5 Road which took over the location of Red Mirchi recently. As you can see this restaurant is big.

Apocalypse Redux? U.S. Natural Gas Find off Vietnam Could Raise Tensions wi
2011-10-31 18:59:00 First, the good news… U.S. oil company ExxonMobil is reporting a "potentially significant" gas discovery off the coast of Vietnam, stating in a press release, "We can confirm ExxonMobil Exploration and Production Vietnam Limited drilled its second exploration well offshore Danang in August 2011 and encountered hydrocarbons." ExxonMobil is the world’s largest publicly traded oil company by market value. While Vietnam, an oil exporter and the third-largest oil producer in South Asia, began offshore exploration of its reserves in the 1970s, Hanoi only started in 2004 awarding offshore exploration concessions to a plethora of foreign companies, including those from the U.S., Canada and India with ExxonMobil receiving concessions from the Vietnamese government allowing it to explore blocks 117, 118 . . . → Read More: Apocalypse Redux?

NEW YEAR in HAI PHONG VIETNAM
2010-12-31 11:10:00 It is 1700 hours on the 31st December 2010 and I am in Hai Phong, Veitnam waiting for a ship to come in. It is a strange feeling I have when considering the fact that over the last forty years or so and since I was first able to grasp that fact that clocks went round and that most people got blitzed on cheap wine at this exact time of the year, I am sitting here all alone and in a hotel that might only have only one other guest apart from myself. I am imagining the evening ahead and the countdown to midnight. I will probably have something to eat shortly, an offering from the menu (spaghetti bolognaise perhaps?) and a glass of Heineken. I finished my last novel on the plane here; so a movie later? They like to voice-over movies here ? western films have two sound tracks, one in Vietnamese narration the other with the original voices behind. It is possible to understand the English soundtrack but it does give headache as the ears work overtime. But HBO and Star World Channels are no...
The Best Western Pearl River Hotel, Hai Phong in Vietnam
2010-12-31 05:45:00 I am sitting in the Pearl River Hotel (Best Western) in Hai Phong, Vietnam wiaiting for a ship to come in. It is seasonally cold at 22 degrees (gets a little nippy in the evenings) and oh, so very quiet. So far I am the only patron of the establishment. Maybe a tour bus will pull up shortly and disgorge thirty red-faced and overweight Americans who will then proceed to noisily ruin all that was good, but I doubt it. It is perhaps poignant to state that Western New Year is just around the corner so apart from a couple of stray hippy nomads from Australia (and they prefer rock bottom priced wooden sheds for the night ? can?t score in a good hotel now can we?) the tourism industry grinds to a halt. When I checked in I was greeted by no less than four staff members who obviously welcomed the interruption to an otherwise undisturbed day. The restaurant where I am sitting now for a beer was silent, I?m sure I detected a layer of dust on the tables and no other customer looks to enter any ...
A Return to the Rex Hotel, Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam
2010-12-30 01:37:00 It is perhaps unusual for me to be in Vietnam before Christmas and again immediately after Christmas but that is beside the point. Suffice it to say that this year I managed to get home to be with my family on Christmas day but an urgent job arose that took me back North soon after. Anyway, the point of this entry is to say that I am sitting in the lobby of the Rex Hotel after a hard mornings work whilst munching on some replica of a fast-food chain (a repeat prescription) .............. they've gone and put an enormous carpet under the tables now. No more strangled-cat noises if they move them yet I would have thought harder to do so - they would need to be lifted up. I would though like to mention that the removal of the Santas (Christmas Spirit now gone) must have also allowed them to shift the Piano and the tables completely around to create another design effect. The Piano Player was also new and not quite as good as good as the last!

Goood Morninggggggggg Vietnam
2009-03-05 08:39:00 Ogni giorno usciamo di casa e ci aspetta una giornata di code, di Metro che non passano, di gomiti nella schiena, di conti che non tornano, di figli che crescono troppo o troppo poco, di soldi che non bastano mai, di mariti distratti, di corse scellerate verso supermercati, di auto rotte, di benzina da mettere, in poche parole partiamo per la guerra ogni mattina, la guerra della vita.In questo Vietnam giornaliero, abbiamo per sognare pochi istanti appena svegli, con in mano una tazzina di caffe, e magari in quegli istanti ricordare una frase, una poesia che ci faccia stare bene o ci riempia il cuore e l'anima e ci induca in pochi istanti di pace a guardare dentro di noi.Oggi vi propongo questa:"Io serbo nel luogo del cuore,dove si dice che le passioni nascono,una manciata di sabbia.Di sabbia del Sahara certi giorni.Di sabbia di una spiaggia marcia di turisti.O di mentita sabbia, sabbie mobili..."
