Letter 423: The Doctor's Solution to Weight Loss
I have discovered that the quickest way to lose that post-holiday cumulative effects of one-too-many banh mi and too much cafe sua da is to be a surgical intern.
Look! A drip in the health bunker at Cu Chi Tunnels!
The Temple of Literature in Hanoi has a spelling mistake *LOL!*
Look! A drip in the health bunker at Cu Chi Tunnels!Breakfast: Cutting my sleeping time from 5 hours to 4-and-a-half for a bowl of cereal or 2 miserable pieces of toasts?? No thanks. Just pass me the coffee. STAT!
Lunch: Practically non-existent. 3pm gulps of coffee if I'm lucky.
Dinner: You mean (the long-overdue) lunch?

The Temple of Literature in Hanoi has a spelling mistake *LOL!*Being a surgical intern also fast-tracks one towards osteoporosis. Since starting Surgery, I have not seen the sun at all. It's pitch black when I drive to work, and the sun's already set by the time I make my way home (cos it's winter now). I don't even know if it's sunny or cloudy or rainy during my working hours. I can only judge from the clothes people wear when they visit my patients in the ward, and whether they're carrying a brollie or wearing a beanie or both.
Although I don't miss Vietnam's humidity, I do miss having some sunshine in my life at the moment.
Having said that, perhaps now's the time for me to lose my tan and become as fair as my olive complexion would go :)
