Day 125: Relaxing year end break and a New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! Just came back from a great trip to Vietnam where I spent a couple of days in Ho Chi Minh followed by some cycling around the Mekong Delta. Really nice to be able to disconnect from the world for a few days and just get back to basics. Taking the time to enjoy the sights, sounds, smells, tastes and the company of the people around you without worrying about emails or phonecalls.

Beautiful and tranquil countryside

Absolutely insane traffic in the city

That being said, I did bump into a classmate of mine outside the Reunification Palace in HCM. It was pretty hilarious when we saw each other. AND, cellphone reception was immaculate even while cycling through the middle of the rice fields as our guide's "Holla' Back Girl" ringtone would attest to.

Need to catch on some sleep now after arriving back this morning but will write more about my thoughts on the trip and its connection with entrepreneurship next time.

In the meantime, enjoy some new random trivia courtesy of the BBC. "100 things we didn't know last year".
