Vietnam

I've just crawled back into the country, having survived 5 days in Vietnam with the hardest partiers I've ever travelled with.

Going via Singapore Zoo, we had breakfast with the orang utans and Josie's next pair of shoes!

Vietnam was amazing - friendly people, clean, stunning, and incredible tailors. The markets were very rustic and eye-opening, from the live skinned frogs to the whisky with a marinated cobra and scorpion.

Although we subscribed to the "what goes on tour stays on tour" ethos, I'll post a selection of the slightly sordid photos when we receive them.

15 dinner

Sorry for the lack of posts - I've finally remembered my password.

We had an awesome time in Melbourne at the Rising Star Manager day and dinner with partners. The day was focussed on developing strategies for our Managers and those soon to be, on setting their business objectives and actions to achieve them. I'm always inspired by the insights of our most engaged Consultants.

Of course, all work makes Jack a dull boy, so after a day of strategising we were off to Jamie Oliver's 15 with partners. Karen and my kids were in Melbourne and I was told it isn't appropriate to leave them (the brats, not Karen) in the hotel room. I think they added to the night as they're a fan of Jamie, although they prefer Gordon's grasp of the English language!!
