Last week of this term tomorrow! Woohoo! Will be glad to see the back of my lame class who are incredibly unresponsive and make the lessons no fun at all. I'm also looking forward to having a prper weekend next weekend as I've had to teach the past two Saturdays to make up for having xmas day off. Lame!

Had another fun post office experience today trying to send a birthday pressie to my sister. The international part of the post office had no staff in it today so I went round to the main part of the post office. Ususally when I send things back to the UK I get them to wrap it for me in postal paper, but according to the woman in the main part of the post office stuff must be sent in boxes and paper can't be used. I suspect this is a ploy to charge me 90,000 dong for a crappy cardboard box (it wasn't like it was a proper postal box or anything) and a bit of tape, and I guarante that if I go to the usual part of the post office tomorrow to send something I'd be able to get it wrapped in paper there.

I am now starting to get things organised for my next holiday. In Feb I'm off to China for two weeks! Exciting!
