Happy New Year of the Dragon !

We've now been back in the swing of things in Hanoi for awhile. Already during the first week Rémi had mid-term exams so that was a tough reality to get back to. And according to his teacher he did not do well at all, despite the 3 hours of studying per night. I am also quite busy at work as we rush to get things done before the Lunar New Year, or Tet as it is called here, rolls in. It is 2 weeks earlier than last year so it starts on January 21 to usher in the year of the Dragon. Rémi will go on break yet again for another 2 weeks, whereas Simon gets 1 week and I get 4 days off. So once more - Happy New Year everyone and may 2012 bring you health, success and happiness....!

For those of you who have wondered, Voir-le-monde stands for See-the-world which has been my moto for the past few years. So why would I have a web site title in French and content in English ? The title comes from the heart, and at first I had the intention of having a bilingual site. But the amount of time it takes to keep it up-to-date in one language doesn't allow me the time for translation.

The contents of this web site may appeal to anyone wishing to get a glimpse of the countries where I have traveled to through the photo albums and written stories. Some sections such as This Week are more personal accounts of my life abroad and are aimed at friends and family who wish to follow my experiences more closely.

I feel truly blessed to live a life that takes me around the world, discovering people and places that inevitably have a great impact on me. I only wish to share some of this with you...
