Channel Steve

Grand Hotel swimming pool

…via PhotoToaster, using these settings.     Trying a new pool.   The Grand Hotel, opposite Jaspa’s on Dong Khoi, doesn’t look much from the outside but they are renovating. It’s clear this hotel has history, judging by its architecture & interior decoration, but I’m not yet familiar with that.  The pool is about the same size

See the full gallery on Posterous Anybody know why these canoes are all sunken in the shallows of the lake at The Crescent, District 7? There must be about 20 of them. Posted via email from RockPortrait in Vietnam

Introduction to KISS

I'm trialling the Educreations iPad app, designed for the iPad, and used for making whiteboard lessons so that your students can review them at home after the lesson is done.  I'm not quite sure how I'll use it yet, but I wanted to see how responsive the pens were, and if the built-in mic was any good.

Sunday afternoon boating

p285.mov Watch on Posterous Sunday afternoons in any country should be spent chilling, and that’s exactly what many do in Saigon. As sunset nears we can see fishing, chatting over coffee, long walks along the river banks and now, remote control power-boating. Posted via email from RockPortrait in Vietnam

Allez Boo afternoon

This is the correct way to spend a Tuesday afternoon in a Pham Ngu Lao street bar – in this case, the iconic Allez Boo.   You can be assured that the Australian after which Channel Steve is named is also following correct procedure. Posted via email from RockPortrait in Vietnam

Beetroot salad

Due to my upbringing I have always been convinced that beetroot was a typically Australian thing. Even though Dad grew it in our very large Sale vegetable garden, I’ve always tried to avoid it as it stains everything it touches.   Now I find out that not only does it exist in Vietnam, but it’s quite popular.
