Second Leg of London Move
Posted by Cottontimer on 15 Jan 2006 | Tagged as: Expat Life, Vietnam
Vietnam is no longer our home. After some tearful good-byes and a last death-defying* drive through the crowded streets and back alleys, we left Vietnam for the last time. We’re now on the second leg of our move to London; transiting in Singapore for a few days.
Nerves kept me from sleeping for the entire past week. Last night was the first somewhat restful sleep I’ve had and I could probably use at least one more night before my energy levels climb higher than the level of fatigue. But I probably won’t feel completely rested until we’ve made London our home. Boxes arrive on January 28th.
One box was already waiting for us when we got to Singapore. A big one from Dell – our new Inspiron 9300 laptop! We’ll be busy playing and transferring data to the new computer before leaving on Wednesday.
If only unpacking in London could be as much fun as opening a new computer box.

Woo Hoo! New Toy!
river2sea72: And not the only one!
Yeah, transitions are always hard and saying goodbye is never easy either. How’s Stephen taking things? Anyway, cheer up babe … I’m sure you guys will have a really great time settling down in London. New sights, new sounds, new experiences. Meanwhile, enjoy S’pore huh? You’re lucky it’s stopped raining cats and dogs!
Glad that the move is proceeding apace—you’re really traveling “round” the world. Just forget about those boxes till you have to unpack!
don’t forget to eat extra chicken rice for us. and drink tons of kopisusu!
Woohoo! New computer and non-Vietnam internet –Life will never be the same! We miss you–hurry and get settled in!!
Ooh, you’ve moved over at a good time…the weather hasn’t been too rotten lately over here. And the London sales are still going on!
how long will you be in Singapore for? If all goes well, I should be there in a few days…
Hi, I’ve usually been a lurker here, and haven’t had a chance to check your blog out for several months because my family was also in the process of making a move, and was surprised to read today that you’re making a move too! How exciting to be able to live in London! Is this going to be your “permanent” home? Are you going because of a job? Good luck with everything!
My thoughts are with you…best of luck!
Cheers
HH, I had no idea you had only been here in London for such a short while – (I am in South London) what is chicken rice and kopisusu! Just checking out your Vietnam posts – my partner is Vietnamese
Andrea: Almost three months in London at this point and it’s starting to feel like home.
