Big day

I started the day with another interview. This time it was for an organisation I think would be really great to work with, something a bit different but still education based. The interview ended on a positive note so we shall see. The streets were really busy and many places are flying the flag, including most of the taxis. It's Liberation Day tomorrow. Some businesses were having a holiday today, others are having the holiday on Tuesday next week. And the May Day holiday is on Monday. 


Then we moved from our apartment to the new studio. But before we did we had to go to the ATM to get our rent money and deposit. This meant multiple withdrawals and having a wodge of cash. So I was walking around today with 17,000,000 VND ($850)  strapped to my body (ok, it was just in my money belt) - but I did have a Bonnie and Clyde moment when we got back to the apartment and were counting out 35,000,000 VND and there was a knock at the door. 

When we arrived at the studio, we realised that there were no implements in the kitchen - which we were sure we'd seen last time we'd looked at the place. Over the course of the afternoon, having various discussions with our landlady T, we worked out what we needed to buy (towels, beer, toilet paper) and what Ms T was happy to provide. M paid the rent and deposit, and was impressed that Ms T had a note counting machine - obviously a business essential in this cash biased economy. 


The last bit of excitement for the day was that as Ms T arrived back at 6pm with all the kitchen items, sheets and maids to make the bed, I got a call from ?? about a job interview tomorrow at 10am. The person that rang was going to sms the address - but so far no info! So I'm not sure which of the multitude of organisations wants to see me tomorrow!
