Yes indeed. Biden was all over the VN media only two days ago talking about his plans to form a strategic commercial partnership between VN and USA. Of course that could all change very quickly after the upcoming election in USA, which is doubtless being watched very closely in Hanoi's halls of power!

I certainly remember the weather. As it happens, this month (21st) marked the 53rd anniversary of the last battle we fought there. How things have changed, eh?

G'day Ken - all good up here in Vietnam, thanks. Forecasters reckon we only have a few more typhoons before this year's wet season ends. Usual annual average is 12 storms for the country and about half that number for south-central where we are in Vung Tau, and we've had 4 so far with much less than normal damage, unlike those hit with all that carnage up north! Biggest problem for us is the population boom in Australia forcing the gov't to reduce the usual intake of overseas students, because we wanna get our niece Sunny into a high school near Willoughby so she can stay with us, but all the schools are full at the moment so we're stuck playing the "wait and see" game. Ho hum!  ::)
