International Week is a big thing in Hanoi. This year we went all out and made costumes. Tom and Claire's school held an International Week parade as did Hanoi International. Jo went as a Vegemite Jar, Tom a kangaroo and Claire was meant to be an emu although ........ with a tantrum and hate of feather hats she ended up looking more like a koala who had lost of lot of weight with a rolling polly tummy hanging around her knees.
We had a food fair, a walkathon to raise money for the Friendship Village which is a commune for victims of Agent Orange on the outskirts of Hanoi. It was a terrific week and without doubt the busiest week here in Hanoi for us, but also when it all comes together a great celebration of how little yet full of different people and places our lives have become.
