It's Saturday in Saigon, and typical of Saturday's all over the world our morning starts with soccer. Soccer is one of those sports which seems to translate in any country, I am happy that Josh loves playing even in 34 degrees, it gives him the opportunity to play with kids other then his school friends, who are all lovely kids, but this gives him the opportunity to practice his English. I am sure when he returns to school in Australia he Will be an ESL student, i
t's not that he speaks Vietnamese but he speaks English in such a manner that the Vietnamese kids can understand. so soccer has it's many benefits . Kaela is spending the day studying. Yesterday was Vietnamese national day so there was no school, so Mikaela, Bella and a group of 7 girls all spent the day doing no homework and hanging out watching movies.
So today and tomorrow will be study days for her. Me .... I did what so many people do on a Saturday .....I went shoe shopping. I might be an extra large in clothing in this country but my shoe size is "same same" with the Vietnamese. One of the ladies at school told me about a great shoe shop so I took the opportunity this morning. So many shoes, so many choices and at about 350,000 dong (about 17 aud) really reasonable prices ffor real shoes. Now I am having coffee waiting for Bella who is joining her sister on the braces path. Unfortunately for her she is looking at a much longer time with them but it will be worth it in the end, and it was something she decided so hopefully it won't be too bad. And Matthew is getting himself organized to fly back to Sydney this afternoon equipped with his shopping list of must haves to bring back. So that is our Saturday
