Phu Quoc

12-14 September 2012
Recent work trip to Phu Quoc Island to check on the progress of the airport i'm working on.


Hue cuisine dinner at Dong Pho, in District 3 of Ho Chi Minh City, after a day of meetings with the client.


Banh Beo - my current favourite vietnamese rice cake dish.


i forgot the name of this one but it was just as yummy.


Hue Salad sampler


Bun Thit Nuong - marinated grilled pork slices and vermicelli


It was straight to Site with our luggage the moment we got off our 8am flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Phu Quoc and it wasn't until 6.30pm that we arrived at our hotel to check in. Nevertheless, this view of the sea from the reception lobby cheered our tired bodies a bit.

Then the next morning, it was up early again to Site for an 8.30am meeting with the M&E contractors. I love the view of the mountains as we approach the airport site.



Surrounding mountains and landside view of New Phu Quoc International Airport, scheduled to open on 12.12.12 - i'm excited!


Jeannie and me outside the Site Office with a vietnamese sign that reads Consultant's Room, i think.

Don't be deceived by the following pictures, we only had like half an hour to spare between returning from Site on friday morning and checking out at 12pm before heading to the airport. The sea was so inviting we just had to get our feet (and more) wet at least, as proof of having been to the beach on Phu Quoc Island.
