A little while ago we posted about needing to find a way to make some money. Many of you sent in suggestions.
The wonderful Janet suggested a song and dance duo featuring Spiros on the accordion and me on the dance floor. We talked it over but Spiros doesn’t feel the world is ready for his sweet soul-full sounds. 
Another suggestion was robbing a bank. Now, I know what you’re thinking; “that’s illegal” but let’s not be too hasty. It would solve the money issue and it does sound pretty exciting after all. Imagine the doors to the bank bursting open, us running out with our loot, Spiros unlocking the bikes while I load the money into the panniers (making sure the right and left panniers are evenly weighted of course) and then riding off into the sunset. We just have to remember to put the racing tires on and we’d be golden. Easy Peasy! But… I guess there are some problems with the idea. For one, we are non-violence, tree-hugger types, so a firearm is definitely out of the question. So getting them to hand over the loot would be difficult and probably a little awkward, us not speaking Vietnamese and all. And then there is the currency issue: one US dollar is equivalent to 18,000 dong. Do you realize how many bills we would have to take? We’re cycling; we can’t carry that much weight. No, no, no, we prefer to travel light. So unfortunately, robbing a bank is not going to be the answer either. Shoot!
Okay, jokes aside, thank you very, VERY much to all those who added comments and sent emails. Your suggestions have been both inspirational and very thoughtful. We couldn’t ask for more. And yes, we are looking into many of the suggestions.
