We spent 3 days in Saigon staying at our old home, Riverside. I went to a sleepover party for Joel on Saturday night and spent time with all my old friends - the ones who are still there.
Mum and I then hung around Riverside doing what we've done for years, walking around the compound and gardens and having long lazy breakfasts by the river. I painted (like I've done for years), read (I finished the Hunger Games and have now watched the movie - it's based in the future and so unexpected because it combines ancient Roman times and about people living in poverty, with hunger and they have to fight for food - a bit like people around the world today who live with war and hunger).
I am now reading "Never Fall Down" which is a true story written by an 11 year old boy, called Arn who lived through the Khmer Rouge between 1975 to 1979.
Here are some photos of us hanging around Riverside.

| The book I'm reading - it's giving more understanding of what it was like to live under the Khmer Rouge control |
