Once the absolute bedlam and crazy antics of 'The Self Help School' in Cambodia were confined to history, Lynsey and I set off for our next adventure... This time we were hoping for some quiet retail therapy time in Hanoi. Some time to relax and ponder over our experiences, over the good times and the bad, over the children and wonderfully welcoming people we had met. Our aim...to enjoy Vietnam (1st time for Lynsey, 2nd for me) and get on the road again. However things, once again in the usual tradition where I am involved, didn't quite go to plan...

So what can you see...a table, a door, two glasses and some grubby flipflop. Well the story will follow..
