	One of the longest buses I’ve ever seen reversed perfectly into the tiny street next to Lotteria. Wow, great job! http://yfrog.com/ht86aj [rockportrait]
	Fell asleep at midnight while watching Amazing Race, on my very hard couch. Woke up still there at 9am! Must have really been tired. [rockportrait]
	RT @iphone_apps: The New York Times Knowledge Network launches “Learning English With The New York Times" app http://bit.ly/9RpoRY [rockportrait]
	Finding it challenging to accept the laziness of others in business. That & the common case of empty promises. Can’t change it, must cope. [rockportrait]
	Promethean Activeboard is very cool. Looking forward to using it more. [rockportrait]

	Quaffing San Miguel Draught on an empty stomach while waiting for Calzone. — at Sundowner Bar http://gowal.la/s/4r8j [rockportrait]
	Public is the new Private. Twitter & Facebook are the new ways to express relationship blues. Hard to find real news through the noise. [rockportrait]
	Just discovered I have a third USB port, labeled ‘eSATA’. Nice. Now, if only I knew what else I could plug into that. [rockportrait]
	Benefits of surrendering to Twitter – http://bit.ly/c4tv2y [rockportrait]
	RT @one_min_teacher: Movie wins first prize at Vietnam English School http://www.oneminuteteacher.com/20100310/movie-wins-first-prize-at … [rockportrait]
	Vietnam perceived to be third Most Corrupt Nation in Asia-Pacific Region. Indonesia worst. – The Jakarta Globe – http://bit.ly/cSv6Zx [rockportrait]
	Shared 3 videos.
	Saigon is such a small place if you’re an ex-pat. Everyone knows someone you know. [rockportrait]
	Vietnam 5th happiest place in the world? Incredibly flawed survey. Read the fine print. http://bit.ly/cbWCY2 [rockportrait]
	Shared 2 photos.
	Upcoming classroom management workshop will be like chickens teaching foxes how to hunt. Perhaps a security guard will be keynote speaker. [rockportrait]
	Vietnam is a land of contradictions, and contradictions keep life interesting. Could be what makes it perfect for me. [rockportrait]

	Just installed new battery in old lappy, updated Win7 from RC to Home Ultimate, & now it has stopped booting. Grrr! Will try Linux Mint next [rockportrait]
	Cleaner just peeled & segmented a whole Pomelo in under 5 minutes. Wow! Only thing is, she didn’t ask if I wanted it done. Pomelo for brekky [rockportrait]

	Eating a sensational English Breakfast & drinking hot coffee with condensed milk, while cruising wifi by i — at LePub http://gowal.la/s/2RQd [rockportrait]

	Starting to get it. It’s a "glass half full" country. They don’t realize that what they have is so good. [rockportrait]
	Still semi-invisible while lesser lights get what I want. I can deal with it because the long-term rewards are worth it. [rockportrait]
	All Asian pop music videos look the same. The ‘Kelloggs" stance seems to be a favourite right now. [rockportrait]
	And seeing as Autotune seems to be nowhere around, I reckon there’s a lot of Milli Vanilli’s on our TV sets. [rockportrait]
	If Darwin was right, it’s possible that eventually our eardrums will get smaller and our vocal cords larger. But a volume nob would be nice [rockportrait]
	Got Ross & John (3AW) on sleep timer. Miss the Rumour File. What’s with all the storms? [rockportrait]
	The dark side of the internet, and yet more evidence why you should hold a renewable licence to raise children. http://bit.ly/bdSfNw [rockportrait]

Observed a whitening-cream abuser ride past on a scooter. For a moment I thought I was looking at Michael Jackson. No 7-11 in sight, though. [rockportrait]
