Sam and Duncan's NYE Spectacular

Anna and Jodie eat your hearts out. Duncan and I have celebrated two NYE's in the last 2 months. Two. Surely that makes us best?

It's Lunar New Year here in Vietnam and boy do they take it seriously. The actual, hard-core celebrating lasts for 3 days but most people have a two week holiday. Or more. There's flowers everywhere and the city is over run with pigs. Foam pigs. China pigs. Paper mache pigs. It's rather like being in Auntie Rita's bathroom.





We flew back to HCM City and after a very wet-eyed farewell to Cat, Bonnie and Ady (guys, I miss you thiiiiiiiiiiis much) it was time to see the "new year" in. But what's this? Cat's left both Sam and Duncan with a stinking cold? That's right. Duncan and I barely managed to tear our sick butts out of bed for the midnight countdown and fireworks. But we did it. However, we were back in bed within the hour with that annoying 'Happy New Year' song by Abba, running around our heads. And a Happy New Year to you too.
