Tay Ho absurdities?

There I was again, sitting in a room with about hundred Japanese kids and about the same amount of mothers, getting ready for the monthly story telling session. With the only difference that yesterday the theme was Christmas. And somehow it feels just a little strange with all these Japanese kids, in Vietnam, waiting for Santa, as neither Japan or Vietnam actually celebrate this. Part of Tay Ho life absurdities, I guess...

Artificial snow sneeze attack!

Then, in the evening, Keisuke and I escaped Tay Ho, went to "noche hispana" at one of the city's fancier hotels, and were suddenly transfered to some kind of hysterical upper class Latin American social event. Good food, lots of drinks and lots of laughter though, and, thinking about it, quite fun to be able to jump in and out of all these different cultural contexts.
