vietnam

well finally got into ho chi min city airport and breezed through customs, and went to collect our bags but guess what they lost them, filled in all the forms for lost baggage and then had a two hour drive to a place called wang tau.
stayed in the palace hotel which was pretty decent, just like a holiday inn, night time went out for a few beers and realised it was 50p a bottle of lager how good is that !!
went on rig next day and have been on since saturday without any bags, just the clothes i am wearing but bags arrived this morning so everything is ok.

most ironic thing this year

today is independance day in vietnam and on the rig they had a big celabration (victory against americans) but the rig is american and all the senior staff are americans :0 :0

manchester utd

Unfortunately after watching last nights game i have to admit that i can see utd winning this yrs champions league, ok their defence is just crap but they are an excellent attacking team this year a lot better than last season and luck is on their side.
i was hoping for a Milan v Liverpool final.

though one day the mighty tranmere rovers will be there


anyway I'm off to ho chi min city on Thursday now with a new lad from Norwich, looking forward to a day off and do the tourist bit, my aim is to go and see the VC tunnels from the war.

after Saigon off to Singapore which should be another good trip.

speak soon everyone
