More 1st's & Chu Chao's!

Today was a busy day - continuing MPA application, doing some accounting/financial planning, and - OF COURSE - more shopping!

The kitchen is the only room that is not wall-to-wall carpeted in Linh's apartment. Her roommate, Mayara, only had a hand-held Dust Buster.

Obviously - Time for a full-size, upright DIRT DEVIL vacuum! So - off to Target! Where we also bought Linh her very first flannel, PLAID shirt - WITH snaps instead of buttons! She is now ready for a return visit (3rd!) to Schmitt's Saloon & Dance Hall!

Top pic = Toted Dirt Devil back to Linh's apartment, assembled it, and then gave Linh "operator/maintenance lessons". Linh was then ready to go! This is a pic of her 1st operation of her 1st-ever vacuum cleaner! <-- almost all floors in Vietnam are tile & bamboo brooms & mops are used to clean the floors - rarely, if ever, are vacuums present! Btw - wall-to-wall carpeting in livingroom & bedrooms REALLY needed vacuuming - ugh!

Bottom pic = Assembled Linh's 1st-ever HD TV and this is her watching it! Her apartment rent includes HD cable! Chu Chao!

While shopping today - also purchased a wireless HP printer/scanner/copier, ink cartridges & paper for Linh. Installation - probably sometime tomorrow - ugh!
