The biggest thing I have done while in Hanoi to pass the time is watch the World Cup. We are now down to 4 teams and they are off today and tomorrow. It gets even worse. The 2 semi-final games are on at 1:30AM Wednesday and Thursday with the 5 hour time change from South Africa. I will have to have a nap in the evening and then watch the games. I cannot go this far then miss the semis.
So what does a young man's "fancy" turn to when there is no football ... Wimbledon, ya that's the ticket. Nadal and Berdych men's final is on at 2PM London time which I think is 9PM here ... oops make that 8PM here. My BB 8800 is on its last legs; the trackball has been acting up for quite some time. I picked up a cheap Nokia in case it dies before I return to Ottawa. A cell phone is a must when travelling.
It should be very interesting the tour I have lined up today. I do not have a clue where I am going. I am always fascinated by the surroundings of these bergs that I stay in when traveling like this. I am sure I will see locals scurrying around at a ferverish pace like I do in Hanoi.
