It's not 100% sure but I would say it's almost certain. The reason why I want to go is I want to explore more the living culture, especially in the city. Another good reason is to play ping pong with them. I'll get my ass kicked but I'll also learn a lot from them.
We're thinking of going probably around Mai-June. There's a reason for that time and I'll leave it to Truc to explain.
The only thing I don't like about going is the cost and time. It costs around $2000 each to go and to enjoy it you need to stay for about 3 weeks. I blog about saving money but this is family related and I'm over the cost issue. Also, since it's not soon, we have enough time to prepare ourselves financially. I'll post more detail about saving on my money sharp blog.
Stay tune for more details!

Hanoi flood tragedy
The very heavy rain started at 1:30 PM, October 31st. After a couple of hours, a lot of streets already became rivers! 500mm of rain in a short time broke many records.
November 1st and 2nd, the rain continued to fall and Hanoi was seriously flooded. Everybody's life was affected. No food, no clean water, no power... Until today, 1 week after the tragedy, some places are still flooded. And as you know, now is the cleaning, repairing the damage and preparing for epidemic diseases. Somehow, Hanoi people are still in good spirits, still have a smile on their faces that help them through this difficult time. That's the city where I come from.

The long road...
Yeah, that road is very long. Most people I know in Canada often ask me a lot of questions about where I'm from, what made me come and stay in Canada, how I survived the first winter, and so on... Honestly, I've never thought of putting the story of my life on the Internet. I just started this blog because my husband keeps encouraging me everyday. And maybe, some day someone would find this interesting to read. So, I'll try to write this story as often as I can, when I'm not too tired or busy of work (boy, it doesn't happen too often!! :P). Have fun reading!
