Welcome to my blog! After the year in Hanoi, Vietnam, as a VSO volunteer, I'm still depending on the assistance of my two faithful neurons for all there is to come. I might decide to keep you informed, you will decide to keep reading.

Thay Hung


Thay Hung is our Vietnamese language teacher, a wonderful man who's lead us into the magic maze of the Northern Vietnamese language and culture since the day we arrived (and the following 5 weeks in In Country Training - the picture above was taken during one of those lessons).
Thay Hung is one of my favourite men in Vietnam. This is not only because he thinks I am very beautiful and young, and approves of my smoking and liking to go out a lot. I like Thay Hung because he's the most wonderful gossip in the world...

The set up is that VSO house number one (Ruth and I) have a 2 hours lesson every Monday evening. This is where Thay Hung collects the information on VSO house number 2 (Mike, Marvin, Derek - and lesson guests Richard, Catherine and Alice):
- Are they married?
- Have they got children?
- Where are they from?
- Are they in love?

All for the sake of language practise, of course...as Thay Hung reiterates "I don't care if you don't tell me the truth, it's just to get used to the structure of the sentence"
So one evening Thay Hung taught us the word for "attractive" (which, of course, I do not remember for the life of me) with the following question:
TH - Em Patty, who do you think is the most attractive at VSO?
EP - mmmh, let me think. ehhh. I think everyone is attractive at VSO. (I know the score now, there's no fooling me! ...I think)
TH - Ok, so do you think that Anh Marvin is attractive?
EP - Yes, I think Anh Marvin is attractive
TH - Do you think Anh Derek is attractive?
EP - Thay Hung? I thought I could call Derek "Chu"
TH - That's not important. Do you think that Anh Derek is attractive?
EP - Yes, I do. I think all the men in VSO house 2 are attractive.

So this happened some weeks ago. Then I get an email from one of the VSO House n 2 yesterday, saying "We know that you think that Marvin is the most handsome of the VSO house n 2 - when we told Thay Hung it would be an idea to maybe send an email to your boyfriend, he responded: oh no! she said that before they got together!" (which is, obviously a lie...)

Viva Thay Hung. I love him to bits.

I believe everything typed was actually very reasonable.
However, what about this? what if you were to write a killer post title?
I ain't suggesting your content is not good., however what if you added something that grabbed people's attention?
I mean "Thay Hung" is kinda vanilla. You ought
to peek at Yahoo's front page and see how they write post titles to grab viewers to open the links. You might add a video or a pic or two to get people interested about what you've
got to say. Just my opinion, it could make your posts a
little bit more interesting.
