A New City - Hanoi

Greetings from Hanoi - a new city for the McCarthy suitcases ...... everything priced in USD for the ease of travellers ..........

Walk for AIDs Awareness

"Mama of 4" with one of her four who required wheels having put his foot through a glass cabinet
Iman looking great and I have all the signs of having to wake at 6am and get everyone to Bandar for a 7am 4km walk

Some images of the walk including one of the McCarthy wheelers......

* With thanks and apologies to the Bloggers of Brunei for making the photos of the event online and public

It's a sunny day!!!

After months of saying I'll get round to it I have eventually figured out how to get here.

Just for starters here's a picture of Iman and Ayden looking good in Barbie sunglasses. Ayden will be 7 months in two days and is now able to crawl on his belly.

Brunei - BADS

We joined close friends of our's last night at the latest BADS event (Brunei Amateur Dramatics) - Comedy evening - excellent entertainment not easily found in Brunei (everyone took abuse from Australians, Irish, Catholics, Men and in particular one poor husband who had to listen to his wife complain about his habit of watching her copies of Lost and then telling her what happens......)

Everyone now on the road to recovery but it's a slow process - Iman has decided that she is cured and therefore allowed herself a swim this afternoon.

Iman joins the club

Iman had to come home from school not feeling well so it's just myself and Ayden without tablets and medicine ........ 9.05 flight tomorrow morning back to Brunei ...

2 Down - 3 to Go

Brunei has been experiencing a bout of 'flu' with almost every family coming down with something - Jack was first to fall and didn't eat for 24 hours - he became quiet and just wanted hugs - as he recovered (by eating everything in sight), Maria has taken to bed suffering .......

Probably not the best time for me to head off to Singapore for a couple of nights

KB Baby !!!

Love it - for all of us divided on the KB - Bandar divide - almost like the Dublin / Cork argument but taken to a new height by a talented but obviously bored expat !
