Healthy and Safety in Hoi An.

The guy on pavement, centre photo was sending barrows filled with bricks to his workmate on the second floor by a basic winch system. He hadn't bothered with hardhat and was wearing flipflops.



We had lunch in a restaurant in Phnom Phen which has been set up to train childern in all areas of catering. The childern are all former street childern usually orphans (because of HIV) or abandoned by their parents. There are typically 700 staying in the facility at any one time.

Lunch was delicious and I book their cookbook - it was nice to have the chance to make a donation.



This lunch was a huge treat in Saigon.


Wonder how long it would take Edward to find and fix a fault in this mess in Vietnam!


These little fellows are for real, promise.


Pineapple fried rice, Thailand.

Here is a selection from our menu during the trip.
We enjoyed a huge variety of food some quite different from home.
Some of our group did try the SPIDER which was served as a treat after dinner in Phnom Phen.
I did miss good coffee.
