It's been a while since my last post. I said goodbye to Vietnam knowing that we'd one day meet again.
A quick brush up on my life: Since my stay in Vietnam I lived in Sweden for half a year. The last year I've been based in the lovely Danish capital, Copenhagen. I've travelled quite a bit. Mostly in Asia, but I haven't revisited Vietnam.
I put some of my Hanoi memories into words and was published in the guidebook "To Vietnam with Love: A Travel Guide for the Connoisseur". Check it out if you're heading to Vietnam. The book is packed with personal stories from Vietnam.
So, why am I writing again after after nearly 2 years of silence? Well, I guess it's not that difficult to figure out - I'm going back to Vietnam! The tickets are booked, I'm leaving 8th of October. I'll be staying in Hanoi for a month doing some research. I think it'll be strange coming back. Most of my friends from "back then" have left the city looking for new adventures and I'm sure Hanoi is changing fast. I'm excited to go back. If anyone's still out there reading this - I will be updating on a regular basis while in Hanoi.

Hej
Jeg arbejder i Hanoi 1-2 uger hver måned med opstart af dansk/vietnamesisk joint venture. Jeg er stærk interesseret i at lære vietnamesisk. Har du nogle gode kontakter? God blog!
Hej Russi,
Hvis mit gamle vietnamesiske simkort stadig virker (når jeg kommer til Hanoi), så har jeg nummeret på "min" gamle viet lærer.
Ellers lad mig forhøre mig, når jeg ankommer. Kender andre, der har fået undervisning.
Har du en e-mail? Så kan jeg evt. kontakte dig.
Bare af nysgerrighed - joint venture indenfor hvad?
Mvh
Kathrine
