Hanoi was an interesting experience…
I managed to sort out the gazillions of photos my husband,TC and I took in Hanoi.I picked out some interesting shots for this post.

Hello Hanoi!I took this from the airplane as we were cruising into Hanoi.Lots of padi fields…

The colourful streets of Hanoi Old Quarters,where we booked a hotel and stayed for 3 nights.

The streets of the Old Quarter are very interesting .They all have names that
start with “Hang” and every street will have something specific being sold there.
There will be everything silk on one street,and haberdashery on another.Then
there are streets just selling shoes of all kinds ,another with bags,and yet another
with art pieces etc.

This particular street had shops and shops selling towels of all sizes and shape.

I must not leave out the incredible motorcycles in Hanoi.Its swarming with them!
And initially,we were just too stunned by them that it seemed impossible to cross even a little street.After a day or two of observing how the locals cross the streets so effortlessly,TC and I concluded that we just have to walk straight on and the motorcyclists with naturally avoid us.It was heart-stopping the first few times we did that( definitely not recommendedd for people with weak hearts!).

That’s me (back to the camera) buying some Vietnamese coffee ,which they grind on the spot for us.The aroma was superbly intoxicating!Mmmmm….
I will post more soon.
The renovation of the clinic is more or less completed.Just some loose ends to tie up and some touching up here and there.
I had the privilege of having a small group of friends from my weekly Cell Group (from church)to come and do a blessing service in the clinic 2 days ago.I shared about my passion in dentistry and my vision for the clinic.It is a dream that grew over the years and I am about to see this dream being realised.I am very blessed to have my family and my dear friends to share this joy and excitement with.

Dem! Must make a trip to Vietnam and shop till I drop.
Yay! Less than a week to your opening. I can’t wait! (chis! As tho I’m the owner of the clinic liddat).
Yup!REALLY looking forward to the opening.Thanks for sharing my enthusiasm.Means a lot to me!
