Family reunion in Vietnam 2008/9!!!
I haven't posted to the blog for such a long time as 'blogspot.com' was unavailable in the hotels we stayed in Vietnam for some reasons. Though there was a charged broadband connection in both New World Hotel (Saigon) and Furama Hotel(Da Nang),I failed to access my blog. I tried many times but in vain. So I'm writing now about my New Year and other impressions in late December 2008 and early January 2009. The Big New Year Day and other occasions(Christmas) we spent well as this trip to Vietnam had been carefully planned by Stanislav long before it took place. The main aim of our jorney to Vietnam was not only Stanislav's business, but more importantly our new family reunion with Olya. She flew to Saigon from San Francisco with a stopover in Taipei (Taiwan), whereas we flew to Saigon from Moscow with a stopover in Daha (Qatar). Both trips took approximately 13-14 hours. Just imagine: we started from the opposite hemispheres!!! Well, our stay there was not full of act
