Two days later
I know how to get to the Foundation Studies Department with its French terracotta tiled roof
I have removed the stickers from the fridge
I know where I can have noodle soup for breakfast with internet access on the way.
I have been to a day IT conference and will give presentation feedback to two of the presenting students.
I have outlined a timetable with the English language coordinator in the Foundation Department. The department is highly professional and well organized. Students do an intensive full time English course for the year preceding their entry to university. Thereafter all their lectures are in English. Hai-Anh tells me that lecturers are punished (I hope she means admonished) if they speak in Vietnamese during lectures and tutorials.
I have bought a new simcard and have met some people who requested my number that I can contact for a cup of coffee.
