William often requests to wear the same clothes as either mummy or daddy. So, we gave in and bought a matching outfit at the market. We also had a fun ride on a "cyclo" during which Sophie clapped her hands alot in happiness. We visited the Jade Temple which had lots of turtles and incense.
William has been wonderful at helping look after Sophie, as Andrew and I take turns to meet scientists and medics at the Oxford University Clinical Research Unit here. I had a great meeting with them today - they were most helpful and full of info on the work they do as well as what it is like to bring up kids in HCMC. I'm so glad that we made this stop over here - I feel that we are no longer just a naive and idealistic couple dreaming of taking their young family to live in a tropical location. We have a much better idea of what the reality of life here would be like, and I still think we are pretty keen!
PS William also has a fever now - 39oC this evening. I had better go to bed now, as though we all slept very well the first night, I've been awake since 2.30am this morning, so feeling very jet lagged.
