England for Christmas

Today I will fly back to the UK for three weeks for Christmas. I'm looking forward to seeing the family and will be back in Vietnam on New Years Eve. I won't be doing any updates whilst in the UK so will start blogging again in the new year.

Dong Thap University, Cao Lanh

This past weekend I did some examining at Dong Thap University. I met some really nice people who work in the area and some important people involved with the university. They were very friendly and hospitable. As I was here at the weekend it was very quiet but I'm told during the week there are thousands of students. The campus was quite nice and still quite traditionally Vietnamese. Below are some photos of the campus and some taken of me with the staff.

I'm pretty sure this is my last trip until the new year as I'll be going home for Christmas to England on 11th December. Its been an eventful year and I'm looking forward to 2020.

 

Dong Thap Museum, Cao Lanh

After the visit to Ho Chi Minhs Dad's grave yesterday, I stopped at the local museum. Entry was free and I went to look around. 

It was a lot of the usual stuff. Some old pots and tools used hundreds of years ago as well as some more modern tools and important documents. What was more interesting was some of the history about the local people rising up against the French. It was quite a nicely displayed museum. Below are some pictures.
