Off to Ha Long bay

I leave this morning so the next time I will be contact with a computer is in a couple days I think. However, I could be surprised. In the marble moutains yesterday on the side of cliffs, there were working tvs in tiny shantys...so if they can get electricity and cable there, why not on a boat?:)
I had an ostrich steak, which cooked so nicely, very tender and nice flaverful...one of my goals when i return is to learn how to really properly grill everything, so that it's moist and tender.(No I dont want barbqs for my b-day when i get back! I will cook with Matt and Rosana, and for people like Mick and then I will be a proper meat cook.)

  2. What a surprise, getting two letters the same day! Sounds like you are having a great time with new friends and finding dark beers. I was
    SHOCKED that I wasn't included in the list of grillers! (Not really) maybe
    when you get back perhaps you might give a cooking demonstration of
    Ostrich Congee. Two questions: 1) Is Ha Long Bay your jumping off spot
    for the islands in the South China Sea? and 2) Have you gotten by with
    english or have you had to use french. Keep on exploring!
