For sure I am a travel addict. I am also lucky to have studied, worked and lived in various places around the world. My current stop is Singapore which is an excellent base for discovering South East Asia, a region full of hidden gems, diverse cultures and natural beauties. But I am no touristy-site hopper: when I travel, I try to look for small things, easily overlooked corners and places that are off the beaten paths. Small towns and cities are my favourite. It is in such places that you will find the most authentic food, untainted by the need to internationalize and commercialize, identify the unique aspects in the local way of life, and of course, meet the most friendly people who make your experience unforgettable. And I would rather spend more time in less places so as to give myself enough time to have a feel for whatever places I go to.

Interestingly, the more I travel overseas, the more I realize how little I knew about my country (I come from Vietnam), hence the need to go home and discover. Have you ever felt the same way? These days I try to make use of my limited holidays to explore what Vietnam has to offer. A highlight of this blog will thus be my travel experience in Vietnam and I hope it will be useful to travellers like yourself.

Enjoy!

Are you writing documents such as Installation Qualification and Operational Qualification for your hardware for the first time?

I guess you are looking at this because you are not sure how to start. Neither was I, and that's when I started googling for a template or example. As it turns out, there are not so many detailed examples that you can take a look at for free, especially one that is related to machines and not just software.

Fortunately, I digged hard enough to find this wonderful gem. If you will find it helpful too, don't forget to thank folks at BioRad for making it available.

The less-travelled road around Hue

Sunday, November 18, 2012

If you have time and fancy a motorbike road trip around Hue, here is an itinerary of roughly 110km that can be covered in one day. We hit the road at about 8.30am and finished off at 6pm.

I know that tombs and historical monuments are the main course in everyone's plan when visiting this imperial city. But once you've gobbled up all that solemn stuff, spending a day sightseeing the city's outskirt is like enjoying a light and refreshing dessert.

Help yourself to some photos taken along the way.
