Day 758 – An old friend, revisited…
In Hanoi February 2007 I met Bill one evening at the infamous bia hoi corner in the Old Quarter of the Vietnamese capital.
We had a great evening sitting there on the tiny plastic chairs watching the world go by, overly satisfied with – what’s gotta be the cheapest beer in the world – the bia hoi draft at 15 US cents each.
Bill has invited me to crash for a while in Wadestown, a hilly Wellington suburb, where he shares a house with his girlfriend Cindy and 3 others. It’s a fantastic invitation and for the next 3 days I relax, recharge, play with Ellie, the cutest cat, eat great food, go for walks with and without Bill – in short, I’m enjoying a few days of the sort of more ordinary life that other people live.

Can Ellie really be cuter than Suzy? Though Suzy is an all-round great cat – it’s not only about the looks 😉
