A Bitter Sweet Goodbye

Where has the time gone?! It only feels like yesterday that I arrived in Hanoi, but here I am 3 months later with only a few days left before flying back to Ireland. Since my last update I have been working on calculations of the green and blue water footprints using climatic data (precipitation, temperature and relative humidity) and irrigation data available. Hopefully if time is on my side I can calculate the grey water footprint before returning home. Last week I also made a visit to the Irish Embassy here in Hanoi where I gave a brief presentation on my project. It was great to share my work with the staff there and also interesting to hear about all the work being carried out by Irish Aid/Embassy in Vietnam. For now though I must make the most of my last few days in Hanoi and get as much work done. I’ll check in again once I’m back in Ireland and let you know how I’m getting on with the write-up.                  Tạm biệt,                                                                                                                                       Shauna-Rose
