Palmo Anest

14th ASEAN Congress of Anaesthesiologist, Hanoi, Vietnam

"Narrowing the gaps in Anaesthesia" - 23rd - 25th Nov 2005. Hanoi, Veitnam.



People there are friendly although english is a problem for them. Most of the educated one knows french but few knows english.

We had a good time there. That's the closing night.



Malaysian brought them our mini fashion show of the nation at the closing night.



I think I've drank more beer in those 4 days then the combination of all these years. Every corner or every other shops u'll able to see some small tables and stools, they serve usual vietnamese noodles and beers. Nice food.



My boss who is an Indian expatriate, learned how to use chopstick well in those roadside shops enjoying vietnamese food and beer to the max.



I really like the cool weather (12-24 deg) and the wide pavements on their roads.



Presented my paper at the congress: Continuous Spinal Anaesthesia for Palliative Surgery in Colonic Cancer - An Initial Experience. Receiving quite a few comments and interest from the experience. No firing.

We walk around the streets at night. Caught the Vietnamese celebrating their entering into football semi-final.





Like China, Vietnam is opening up, and it's no more communist economy, look at those cars parked in front of the Congress hotel.
