Hi Zyggy R,

Thank you for the info :) I have visited Mr. Hạnh Nguyễn the other day. He gave me an earful on how disengaged some people are from their own ethnic community :(

He is one of the principal organisers and a very enthusiastic one at that.

I will be there. And I should think I can take photos.

Regards.

No problem.
I am always happy to promote any bonsai club of all ethnic backgrounds when I can, being the son of a boat person from Europe after the 2nd WW I ............
My friends in the Philippines , Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Australia and the rest of SE Asia enjoy my posts.
We can all band together to promote our passion!

Zyggy.

Please accept my sincere apologies -- I do not have any photos with me at the moment.

I went this morning. When I got there, I realised I forgot my camera, I charged the batteries the night before.

I went to my brother-in-law, we went again and took photos, he burnt me a CD -- 10 minutes ago, I found out that there are no photos in it.

Next week, my sister will bring a CD down... hopefully it is not a dud again!!

Please accept my sincere apologies.

For those of us who were at the Vietnamese show it was a nice weekend, we watched the guys chop up trees ,pot them and sell them.
There were a few talks on plants that were on display and for those of us who needed an interpreter.
So here are a few pics, I am sure Zyggy will post others soon .
enjoy joann :clap:
