    End of an Era

    A very big thank you to Jan & Ian Somers. Many years ago when we were living in Sydney, and newly engaged, we received a flyer in our letterbox about a financial planning seminar.

    Significant damage. Roof taken off, all windows on one side of the house all smashed. Holes cut throughout the ceiling to allow water to drain through so the roof doesn't collapse.

    You would see a lot of older cars in Hanoi, but the majority of cars are only a few years old. This is the emergence of the middle class and spending in Viet Nam. Cheers Elizabeth :)

    Taringa/Toowong in Brisbane

    No - it would not be a bad investment. Good infrastructure, good schools, close to city and access to the city cat. What more could you ask for?? If you're able to buy a unit in a small block, even better ;) Cheers Elizabeth L:)

    Redcliffe ????
