4/3 Party

Khoi, a fellow Vietnamese classmate, took Sacha and I shopping today.  We walked by the department of defense.  Daunting, strangely serene, totally unmarked and massive.  He led us around to different shops while we desperately tried to find shoes that fit us (another theme - finding good shoes;)).  Sacha, Khoi, Andrew and I met for a drink then went to the CELTA kick off dinner at a BBQ garden.  It was beautiful.  Huge trees with low hanging branches laced with hundreds of tiny white lights.  We sat next to a Vietnamese birthday party ... one two three yo (or cheers) every five minutes.  The food was phenomenal.  Little flat BBQ's built into the tables cooked vegetables, meat, prawns, squid and lots of it.  The food just kept coming.  After we had drinks at a pub closer to home, Sacha and I wandered back to our quiet alley and fell asleep ... excited and just a little anxious about what lie ahead.
