Is this an ancient Vietnamese warrior shield?
A free beer (or standard beverage of choice) to anyone who can enlighten me as to what this is, found in the deepest, darkest recesses of my school grounds. If you’re under 18, or my student, I’ll be extra nice to you for a week, instead. Posted via email from RockPortrait in Vietnam

VAS Film Competition
It’s the first day back at school for me, and my Grade 9 students were very keen to show me some films that their classmates had made. They showed me four on Youtube, and the best (in my opinion) is this first one. I love the story, message, acting and photography. Well done, students! I loved to

Eight hours, then Da Lat
After a long eight hours on the road from Saigon, punctuated by coffee and lunch stops, we finally arrived in beautiful Da Lat. It’s my first time here and first impression is of a beautiful, clean, French-influenced town in a valley. The weather is perfect, with a mild breeze and gorgeous blue skies. I’m guessing the temperature

Seasonal dummy in Crescent Mall
This clothes dummy was spied in the window of a fashion shop in The Crescent Mall, District 7.

You know if you want to organise things or find things out- you do it yourself—never rely on others. If the “organizer” doesnt know they probaby dont want to share details.Hey it happens,happens at my work —it sux but theres always ways of going around it.Some people define it as stalking hahhaahaha but he its just collecting valuable info….lol.
anyway hows life over there??? all good…Hey yr on Twitter whats the go with that—i just havent got the idea of it,im there but its just…i dont know…

The reasoning behind why Vietnamese communicate in the ways they do is totally beyond me at this stage, but I’ll learn it eventually. I’m trying to.
Re: Twitter. If you don’t know what it is you don’t need it.
Re: Twitter- I beg to differ,if you dont know what it is,i think the best way is to try it and learn.Would you not agree??? Not trying things makes you more reserved and naive.Its often the things we never try or dont think we can do ,that holds us back in life. Just my opinion.Just like im a chicken to go get a tattoo,well hopefully this Sat night(its Girls Weekend—wooooo hooooo) im getting my first one.SEE dont think i can do it ,but hey until i go i wont know.So heres to lots of face scrunching i think -its guna hurt, then after i think ill need a vodka or two.Not going too big, just a small one with little symbols that mean stuff to me. All good,deep breath ahhahahahahhahahahhah
@sherrene
Of course you can learn it. I just said you don’t “need” it. If you did, you’d already be using it by now.
i am using it.lol
