Heat

It's hot here in Hue. Not unbearably hot, like it was during my last trip here in June of last year. But very very warm all the same - it's about 32 degrees Celsius today. According to the Vietnamese, it's unseasonably warm - normally, temperatures should be in the low 20s at this time of year. And unfortunately, the hotel pool is closed at the moment!

I seem to have picked up a cold en route (unsurprisingly, as airports and aircraft are positively pestilential). Must wander out this evening after it's cooled off a bit, to try and find a pharmacy and some throat pastilles.


First day of meetings went quite well today. Our project officer from CIDA is joining us tomorrow, so we'll all have to be on our best and most impressive behaviour. Off for dinner shortly - we're being taken to a restaurant outside of town this evening....
