Hey there! Sorry for not writing for so long.

Here I am in Moscow. I've returned from Vietnam on January, 16th. It was an amazing trip, indeed. I'm full of impressions and good memories. As usual, my husband convinced me to go there, though I had some serious doubts about the weather and conditions in Winter. However, he managed to persuade me as our mission there was not only a good rest but business as well. The main problem there was my inability to access my blog since the local provider there informed me that 'blogcom' was too busy around Christmas so it was hard to reach it and I was without connection with my blog for a long time. I tried many times both during the day and at night, but in vain. We stayed in Hanoi and Danang this time and spent the New Year Day at the hotel 'Sandy Beach' in Danang. The party was really amusing and full of national dance, live shows and good and real seafood, which I enjoy. Another good thing was that we made friends with really nice Australian and Finnish couples there. They are very curious about Vietnam and the flight from Australia to Ho Shi Min is really cheap for them. We also enjoyed playing tennis every day. The courts were of a high quality as well as almost always empty and we played any time of the day we liked.
One more thing which proved to be very useful to both my husband Stanislav and me was the city of Hoi An. It was reccommended to us by our American friends John and Honey, also great fans of Vietnam as a wonderful place. The city itself is not far from Danang (30 min by taxi, on the seashore) but it's very special. It's the city of craftsmen -tailors, potters, shoemakers etc. We took advantage of this and made some new cloths for ourselves.You can see some photos which I published. As for swimming, the sea was a bit rough at the beginning. But by the end of our stay it got calmer and I even managed to swim. The only problem was that the water is very shallow there and you need to get really far away from the shore to start swimming. Anyway, we really enjoyed our rest and once more saw with our own eyes that Vietnamise are really and genuinely kind and friendly. I do advise those of you who want to explore South Eastern Asia to go to Vietnam. I've surely fallen in love with it!!!
