A Good Weekday

Thursday, November 10, 2011
I just realized...I blog a whole dang lot. Not sure how I got into the habit of writing so much about so little. I meant this blog to be more about my research experience but instead I just write about the things that amuse me.

Ah well.

Anyway, today was an interesting work day. I attended the National Lung Disease Conference with speakers from all over Vietnam and France. It covered COPD, lung cancer, pneumonia, TB, etc...I could have learned a whole lot from this if I could understand the speakers. It wasn't a complete loss though, I got a free tote bag and apparently conferences in Vietnam begin with live performances of singers and dancers...and there's good snacks in the lobby. I got to chit chat with some of the other doctors I work with and it's nice to relax with them in a different setting.






After work I went and got a fish foot massage! WHEEEE! That was fun! I don't think it did a whole lot to my skin but I'm glad I did it anyway. I won't lie, doing the fish thing brought up some memories but I'm not complaining as they were good memories anyway. :)






As we cruised on home after the funny fish experience, my housemate and I stopped at a crowded street restaurant for some fried butter/sugar bread, BBQ beef on a hot plate, and fresh veggies with chili powder (sorry the pic is dark). It was such a delicious way to end the night until the waitress spilled a bowl of oil in my lap. LOOOOL, lucky for her I was in a really good mood and just pouted and laughed. She was sweet and helped me wash my feet and shoes on our way out.



And next...some more roomie bonding with Taiwanese "magnificent t-zone mask." Let's see if this works, apparently it hurts when you take it off. OF COURSE she didn't tell me that until I had already put some on!
