Thursday last week saw the arrival of Long Xuyen's original Newcastle United fan. I knew she was coming as she told me earlier in the year, yet when I got a knock on the door, my mouth fell to the floor as I saw Julie and Duc standing there. Well after a short catch up, they told me they were going to a restaurant and wanted me to join them. Unfortunately, I had other plans and felt a little down, yet I promised I would join them ASAP. I went to the party to celebrate the arrival of my first supervisor back from studying in the Philippines, and another friend who just came back for teaching from Saigon.
After, finishing with the welcome home party, I rushed over to one of our favourite joints to see JND (Julie and Duc). It looked like it had been quite a lot of food before I arrived, and quite a lot of people. I took my place at the table and we all caught up with each other.

The next day, Julie, Duc, Eric, Tyler and I all went to one of Julie’s fav restaurants called Cau Quay (in the pic from previous post). However it was under new management and its called café/ building grilled 99. We all sat back like old times by the canal’s bank talking about nothing, laughing, and drinking. It reminded me of my first few months here.

Yesterday Julie and Duc returned to Saigon and I think we all think their visit was too short.
Also being Easter I would wish all my family and friends a happy Easter.
