I was invited to celebrate the achievement of Disability Research and Capacity Development (DRD) 10 year anniversary.  It was a fantastic event with singing, dancing, comedy skits and presentations.

I was lucky enough to be seated in the VIP area with a translator so I was in a prime position to see the passion and dedication that DRD brought to the community. One of the singers was on Vietnam Got’s Talent

DRD is working to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities in Vietnam in a non-discriminatory environment through capacity building and advocacy.  More information can be found at http://www.drdvietnam.org

I am on the road to recovery.  Thank you for all the messages on Facebook.  I have a parasite so they gave me a drip and some antibiotics.  Hopefully this fixes me.  The medical centre here is excellent, they are very professional and they test the blood samples while you wait.

The best way to explore the city of Ho Chi Minh is on foot.  However, you have to be warned that there isn’t much room on the footpaths for pedestrians, sometimes no room at all.

The shop decided to clean, so all the furniture went out on the street.

I am not sure what food this is that is being dried on the street, but I have probably eaten it!
