Lan in Nam: The Hanoi of small things
http://laninnam.blogspot.com/2011/05/hanoi-of-small-things.html
The sporadic blurts and updates from a 'boere meisie' living in Hanoi. Wednesday, May 18, 2011. The Hanoi of small things. I didn't really plan for this to be a photo blog, but in my rush to photograph the city as the weeks turn themselves into days I have decided to share more. The fact that it is near impossible to log onto Facebook and just create one album after the other and my lack of Flicker knowledge leaves me no choice but to flood my own space, cause after all it is 'my space'. umh. A time to t...

Lan in Nam: walks around the block and lamentations of a sentamentalist
http://laninnam.blogspot.com/2011/05/well-hello-there-rainy-season.html
The sporadic blurts and updates from a 'boere meisie' living in Hanoi. Sunday, May 15, 2011. Walks around the block and lamentations of a sentamentalist. Well, hello there rainy season. Fact: Driving a motorbike in the rain sucks. Fact: Listening to the down pour on the tin roofs surrounding my room is amazing. 8220;How did I not spend more afternoons taking a stroll around the Botanical gardens with all it’s green (trees) and white (brides) and patterns (grandma pajamas)”. Firstly the shower slippers...

Lan in Nam: An almost full year in VN, imaginary friends and general tips for staying alive
http://laninnam.blogspot.com/2010/09/almost-full-year-in-vn-imaginary.html
The sporadic blurts and updates from a 'boere meisie' living in Hanoi. Sunday, September 12, 2010. An almost full year in VN, imaginary friends and general tips for staying alive. Well here we are, it’s today. I’m in the process of making my way home, after almost a whole year. The lead up to finally going home has almost convinced me that time does not fly but crawl. Now I have to reconsider this conviction. Before my arrival, I didn’t know that I could teach never mind that I would actually love ...

Lan in Nam: July 2011

The sporadic blurts and updates from a 'boere meisie' living in Hanoi. Friday, July 29, 2011. Moving back and moving on, and something about growing up too. Ways I know I’m not in the Northern hemisphere anymore:. Ways I know I’m back in jolly Joburg:. Well I lock my doors. I drive on the other side of the road, when I remember (unlike the other night’s awkward moment). I understand just about everything, just about. I have access to Mrs Balls Chutney and boerwors and biltong and Savannah Dry. An almost ...

Lan in Nam: The grieving leaving expat
http://laninnam.blogspot.com/2011/06/grieving-leaving-expat.html
The sporadic blurts and updates from a 'boere meisie' living in Hanoi. Tuesday, June 28, 2011. The grieving leaving expat. Ways I can tell that I’m not in Hanoi anymore…. I drink tap water. I can’t even imagine ordering a second beer because I can’t afford it. Waiting for the little green man to flash before I even think to cross the road, but at the same time cars stop for me at designated crossings, just strange. Apart from that second beer it sounds great right? The act of indulging in sentiment).

Lan in Nam: April 2011
http://laninnam.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
The sporadic blurts and updates from a 'boere meisie' living in Hanoi. Saturday, April 9, 2011. Ladee and the Lan. Spending my third day in bed with an ever growing danger of actually getting hooked on American Idol season 10 I realize that it’s time to update. So here the post on how I turned cockney. Thanks to my friend Dana, I was convinced to go to the auditions, not that it took much convincing… a musical? Throw in some hard work over the following months, giving up at first Sunday nights then also ...

Lan in Nam: August 2011
http://laninnam.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
The sporadic blurts and updates from a 'boere meisie' living in Hanoi. Monday, August 15, 2011. A time to travel abroad, a time to come home. A time to write the last Lan in Nam post and a time to start a new Joburg blog. It is in fact now the time to (uhm) say goodbye. So here with a few last fun filled things to say:. Firstly, if you're busy sobbing away at this post (because it's the last one and not because of the bad writing) then fear not, I have a just as useful new blog called Back in Jo(y)burg.

The sporadic blurts and updates from a 'boere meisie' living in Hanoi. Sunday, June 20, 2010. Using the words 'job' and 'love' in the same sentence. So yes, I can happily and truthfully report that more than often I find myself driving out of Language Link on my ‘My Little Pony’ (my sexy green motorbike), with a big grin and a satisfaction that only a good day in front of the class can bring. I still consider my General English classes (everyone from 17 and up) as my favourites, that theory is however te...
