Happy New Year! Chúc mừng năm mới!
A happy new year to you all! I hope this year brings you all what you want!
明けましておめでとうございます！！
Christmas
As you know I spent this Christmas in the UK! It was really lovely to spend Christmas with the family! Here are a couple of pictures of me excited like a little girl at the Harry Potter Studios:
今年のクリスマスはイギリスで過ごしました。ハリーポッターツアー参加して最高でした！！！
New Year
Toshi and I didn't want to join the insane crowd of people dancing to the DJ near the Opera House in Hanoi, so we ended up walking around Hoan Kiem Lake, a popular date spot of ours. In typical Vietnam-fashion the giant tv screens showing the countdown broke down 30 mins before midnight(!), so everyone just used their own watches when the time came and it was funny hearing excited shouts and different 5..4..3s.. going on everywhere! A very unique new year!
ハノイのお正月はゆっくりで池の周りさんぽうしたり１２時まで待ちました。 １０時に日本にいる家族のことを考えました。

１００人以上が道の中でバイクでニューイヤーテレビを見ました。
New Place
The new year is a good time to start new things, and Toshi and I are going to start living together from this weekend!!! Toshi got permission from his superiors for his hard work, and although I'll have a long commute to work, I really can't wait to start this new stage of my life!!
お正月は新しいことをやるときですよね。今週からトシ君と一緒に住み始まります！トシくんと新しい生活を始まりがめちゃ楽しみです！！
A sneak peak, please look forward to the video tour when it's nicely decorated!!
ビデオツアーを楽しみしてください
Old Neighbouhood
Finally this is the video I'd promised to take for my dad of the street market on my way to work. I was in a bit of a hurry, but please enjoy the pigs trotters and chickens waiting to be plucked!!
最後は自分のお父さんのために取った近所のビデオです。

Vietnam Karaoke Review and Skating
Well, it took 3 months, but I have finally experienced karaoke in Vietnam! Let's start with the good- generous drinks buffet deal, CHEAP and very spacious rooms.
The bad- you had to look through a book to find a song you wanted to sing and write down the code on a piece of paper, which you then gave to the staff member outside the room. Now at this point in the drinking party this was very challenging!!!
The song selection was about as dated as the technology itself； I managed to recognise and sing 'Madonna- Just Like a Prayer' and 'The Bee Gees- Eternal Flame'.
ついにベトナムのカラオケの経験した！いい点は部屋が広いです。悪い点が曲セレクションだし、選び方が紙で！だけど、楽しかった。
The weather recently had been rather dreary and pollution-y until suddenly this weekend of blue skies and 27'C sunshine! Determined not to miss the chance for some Vitamin D, Toshi and I skated 9km around the large lake in the city. It was a bit scary at times when the road surface became wet and when taxis were squeezing past, but overall it was enjoyable (and exhausting!)
天気が急に暑くなってきたので、昨日トシくんと一緒に池の周りで９キロスケートしました。 トシくんがすごく疲れたみたい！
Finally, a look outside Toshi's new apartment window!

Apartment Tour
I'm feeling much more settled in Vietnam now that I'm happy with my place and it's so convenient to go to work without the hour-long commute by taxi during rush hour and back.
引っ越したらもっとベトナムの生活になれてきました！通勤はもうこれから歩いて５分だけです！
Here is a video tour!! ビデオツアー（英語で）

Apartment-Hunting
So far at work, I've had a kid throw up, pee himself, and a *lot* of crying kids!! All in a day's work!
仕事なら、泣いている子が多いけどほとんどかわいくて楽しい!
The rush hour traffic is awful in the morning, so despite living only 6 km away from work, it takes a tedious 40 minutes!! Of course I also don't like getting up so early either!
通勤の時間は道がすごく込んでいて、タクシーを乗るのは大変です！６キロでは４０分もかかってしまう！
So I have located an apartment much closer to where I work.
だからもっと仕事に近いアパートを探してみた。
I love that I have a bath here, and though it's a bit small, I don't need much space for myself.
小さいなのにお風呂があるし、キッチンとテレビも付いているし、気に入り！
一ヶ月は３００ドルです！ しかも仕事から歩いて５分ぐらいです！
Actually I have a confession.. although I promised Toshi I wouldn't, I ended up riding the Estate Agent's Xe Om ̣motorbike) to the house.. oops!
And despite the crazy traffic, it was pretty fun and exhilirating!
バイクを乗っちゃって。。。楽しかった！

At only $300 per month, I can't really complain! The cost of living here is *ridiculously* cheap. The taxi journey to work costs less than half the starting cost in Tokyo! Local food and vegetables are also ridiculously cheap. Imported snacks are about the same or slightly less than Japan.一ヶ月は３００ドルです！ しかも仕事から歩いて５分ぐらいです！
