The bougainvillea continues to be in bloom and I continue to marvel at how beautiful it is - and wonder why it hasn't stood out as much as it has this last month. I mean, surely it was here when we arrived in July.
The mall continues to be a place of interest. American potatoes were the big deal today. Free frozen french fry samples were available on the other side of this temporarily abandoned potato costume (that's got to be a fun job).
The Tupperware store got re-located this week. A dress shop moved into the spot usually occupied by Tupperware. Now they are against a wall, rather than in the middle of the passageway. I guess they don't have Tupperware parties here.
S2 asks, "is that for Easter?" Upon closer inspection, it is a display for Women's Month - so International Women's Day must be celebrated here on 8 March, just like in Russia.
I've been indulging in Nail Art. It is way more fun that I thought it would be. When youngest daughter was here in December, we pampered ourselves with massages, facials, manicures, pedicures, and nail art.
Mine are the purple flowers. Hers are the galaxy/space theme.
She went with the plaid theme on her fingers, while I stuck with the same purple flower theme. The dress code for work says nail polish should be neutral .... no one said the flowers weren't neutral.
And for Tet, I went with the traditional yellow flowers of South Vietnam (the north is pink). The people at the nail place were really impressed that I had come up with the idea of Tet-oriented nail art, using their bank of photos of various nail art.
My nails are currently taking a break from polish, to give themselves some time to breathe.
