We have been on two great trips (detailed posts with photos to follow), had cousins visit, missed home HUGELY and started working at our new school for their Summer School which started on Monday.
The hustle and bustle of HCMC, the incompetence and the blasé attitude and the general, illogical way of thinking and doing things here have all worn us down a little recently. The honeymoon period is most definitely over! Certain everyday activities have started becoming almost intolerable (e.g. driving anywhere in this traffic and going to the shops), and we have occasionally been little hermit-birdies and stayed in our apartment with series on the T.V. to pretend that we are back in our beloved Howick.
With this Summer School, we have started working Monday-Friday, from 07h30-17h00 and we are both still working weekends (and some evenings) at VUS. Mel is also doing some freelance design work - check out her website www.blacksheepcreative.co.za and share it with EVERYBODY! With this busy schedule, we are one our way to achieving one of our goals for coming here - saving some money.
