Roast Dinner at The Tavern in District 7

The roast dinner is one of the few things I miss from England and getting them in Ho Chi Minh city has always been a bit tricky in the past. Many places are starting to sell them but the quality is frequently not as good as those you get at home. However, I'm pleased to say that the Tavern pub near my house in district 7 does in my and many other peoples opinions the best roast dinner in the city.

 

 

I went this past weekend and took a picture of it. It was roast beef this weekend and comes with excellent roast potatoes, veg, gravy and Yorkshire pudding. Its really tasty and definitely worth the trip to district 7.

SIDL - End of Season awards night - Al Fresco, district 2

Saturday night was our end of season darts award ceremony and as you can remember my team, the Tavern, once again won the league which means we have now won back to back promotions and will now play in the top tier of the Saigon darts league next season.

The party was at a place called Al Fresco in district 2 and had free flow beer and food all evening. We all got to go up on stage and collect our trophies. Also a number of the rest of my team won awards for things such as 'most 100s' and 'highest checkout'.

As you can see we got a lot of trophies so built a tower out of them (see below). It was a very enjoyable evening. the new season will start again in a month or so and its going to be very tough in the big league.

RMIT End of learning English graduation ceremony

Just a quick post to inform you about a nice event we hold for our students at RMIT. As you know I teach English to students to get them ready for university. There are seven different levels at RMIT from 1 which is beginner (what's your name?, how old are you?) to level 7 which is advanced plus (getting them to research and reference work, improving critical thinking skills). I teach level 7 which is the last level before they are good enough to study at University. So finishing this level is a big thing as it means they are done learning English and can move on other things. 

Class S71502A

Because of this we hold a graduating form English ceremony where they get a certificate and we all take photos. As I teach the last level I get to go along and be part of it. Its always nice to see the students after they have finished and without the stress that is on them and me during the semester with writing reports and assignments.

Class S71502B

Anyway, here are some photos of me with my two lovely classes that I had last semester.

Nice food
