The minutes seem to go so slow ... yet the months have accumulated so much.On Wednesday evening I joined Bao and his former colleague, Huyen, at a coffee shop. While we were sitting and talking I kept wondering how long it had been since I last saw her? And where?
Eventually it dawned on me that I last saw her just before she left STX. We had an evening picnic on Ha Long road just below the statue of Jesus. I rode there after class - on my bicycle, which means I was then living at Vo Thi Sau street. I moved house to Phan Chu Trinh street at the beginning of May last year!!
Could it really have been more than 15 months since then? Could it really be 12 months since I came back to Australia for a visit? (August last year)
Bao and I are coming to Australia to visit everyone this October. When that visit commences it will have been two years, almost to the day, since I first left Sydney to start this life in Vietnam!
Time slips away so fast ...
