The lack of mobile phone coverage is very appealing, even though that has now been rectified.<br /><br />I was supposed to be having a boys day at the races this weekend which the other half is always very supportive of, but seems everyone else has family commitments.<br /><br />I'll look forward to living vicariously through your weekend when you have posted a few photos.Lawrence Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11626386564817082992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512576686142959856.post-85350723436391658572017-10-04T12:40:56.954-07:002017-10-04T12:40:56.954-07:00You just reminded me, I must look at the rest of t...You just reminded me, I must look at the rest of the Vietnam photos (on a different camera).

Until recently that statement included no cellphone coverage, but regrettably that changed last year.Mark Strachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988775093525037168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512576686142959856.post-64052083202880545792017-10-03T22:28:10.277-07:002017-10-03T22:28:10.277-07:00I wonder if winter may have been the better time t...I wonder if winter may have been the better time to go, as the pollution in Beijing as quite heavy in early September.
