peterbirksA combination of events in three countries and four locations have conspired to make this a brief post.
First, on Friday evening, my broadband was down. Then I tried to upload an entry from Heathrow, but the machine would not let me upload (neither would it let me send a leter of complaint!). Then the Wifi wouldn't connect in the Plaza Lounge in Hong Kong Airport (although I did write an extensive entry). And, finally, my broadband connection in my ropom here at the Sofitel Plaza Hanoi doesn't want to play. Someone should be looking into it real soon now.
So, no chance to upload photos yet (not that I have taken many), as I am restricted to the free machine in the Sofitel Club Lounge. Theoretically there's a wifi access point here (in the ounge) but, given my failure in Hong Kong, I'm not too optimistic about bringing my machine here to try it out.
I wrote a long post while waiting for my plane in Hong Kong, which I may edit and append to this, if I finally get my machine online.
24 hours door to door, by the way, and I've finally got some Dong in my pocket, which means that I won't look like a millionaire any more, despatcing five-dollar tips (foolishly I came out without any singles. How did that happen, considering I accumulate bucketfuls of them in Vegas?) as they were petty cash.
Still, at least it seemed to get the desk staff on-side.
