cuối tuần means weekend

And this weekend means this...


Local legend has it that long ago, when the Vietnamese were fighting Chinese invaders, the gods sent a family of dragons to help defend the land. This family of dragons began spitting out jewels and jade. These jewels turned into the islands and islets dotting the bay, linking together to form a great wall against the invaders. The people kept their land safe and formed what later became the country of Vietnam. After that, dragons were interested in peaceful sightseeing of the Earth and decided to live here then. The place where Mother Dragon flew down was named Hạ Long, the place where the dragon children attended upon their mother was called Bái Tử Long island (Bái: attend upon, Tử: children, Long: dragon), and the place where the dragon children wriggled their tails violently was called Bạch Long Vỹ island (Bạch: white- colour of the foam made when Children Dragon wriggle, Long: dragon, Vỹ: tail).

Good Morning, Europe

Declaration

After a 20 hour journey to Hanoi, I have to declare:
I have very big pain in my bum-bum-bum…
The stewardess from the Vietnam Airlines has the coolest uniform ever... I will try to take one back to Europe.
I suffered from a dangerous disease yesterday: I was falling asleep everywhere (cabs, labs, planes, …)! Thanks god(s) there is Charles here.

Um dia destes faço as malas e vou para Madrid. Hoje é o dia.

Depois mando um postal da exposição do Francis Bacon.
