Life in the New Office building.

Sometimes we can take a "snap" at lunch time! The new office is on Ham Nghi Street, District One. It's very near my apartment. I like taking snaps whenever possible in Saigon.

A desert Celebration

Tri wants to celebrate with come deserts. It's a example of some interesting foods we sometimes eat in Vietnam.

Inside the bag you can see a white blob. But actually its made of rice and its really sticky. So, we can take some meat pieces, then wrap the sticky white blob around it, and eat it. It's tasty! And the dish with the circular white thing is a bananna desert. Itside the white rice sphere is peas. Its really excellent. And the 3 red wrapper foods

are coconut desert made from sticky rice wrapped in bananna leaves. They are actually black inside, but you could never guess.

Sometimes we should take photos of normal days that we dont want to forget

Thuy Anh is a extradinary women. She can tackle any project, and in the end clear her mind for the next one! I've learned a lot from her! A small break for ice cream is always a welcome stop for me! But it's not Cooks Farm Dairy!
But actually maybe its better! I wish I could explain why, but Vietnamese food is always exceptional.

This picture was actually hard to take. because the motorbikes need to drive and park on the sidewalk. So sometimes there is so much movement to take a picture.

We like to make music in Vietnam, not listen!

Nam is one of the the HR Holcim Vietnam pimps! Every wonderful girl wants to sing with him!

Karakoke is fun in Vietnam. Thuy Anh(right) has many songs to sing!

Time to visit Long Khanh village!

This is my friend Oanh's village. I really liked this pig here, but I tried to pet and hold it. But in the end it didnt like me.





We don't have cars in Vietnam, so motorbike is the prefered way to travel.

It's like motorcycle diaries, except im not in South America, its not dangerous, and we can take bananna leaves of of the trees for a nap, or in vietnam "snap".
You see how beautiful Oanh is?
Her family has a bun bun or rambultin orchard. The fruit is in Oanhs hand. The best rambultin is here at this little farm. It was the best taste for me so far in Vietnam!


Ok, but sometimes we have to work. You see im really hard working, and so I can pick anything from the trees in this orchard.

Package Recieved!

I was overwelmed when my package arrived from the U.S. It's similar to a christmas present! This the famous Chau enjoying some american treats! Everyone in the office got something, and there was still plenty for me to eat as well. And some children also got some candy. Plus a couple random friends that deserved a little appreciation.

Ohh, yes. Of course. You can see Hanh in the background working really hard. She is one of the hardest working employees here at Holcim Vietnam.

Taking the Ferry from Hon Chong to Phu Quoc Island

One of my more favorite places in Vietnam so far in Phu Quoc. It is really untouched, but its a tropical island. I think most people dream of that, culturally it seems to also be distinct. I really like this island. And although its hard to get there, and the plane ticket from the western world is expensive, I think If i ever have enough time and am willing to fly there, I will take a vacation there. Its truely far from home, and cut off communication wise. Its the perfect island vacation.

This is a picture I took from my motorbike. The road gets pretty rough, but the ocean always looks perfect.

I meet these children in the center of the island, maybe they have never left this small island. But all kids appreciate candy!










My eyes first saw this upon stepping off the boat.
I went swimming with these children.



Heres some cows!
