In 2013, I holidaying in Vietnam's Hanoi, when I met some great people from Tauranga. We exchanged email addresses. I wrote theirs in a book and gave it away to a Vietnamese chap.

One of the guys I met emailed to say hello, wanting to catch up, and I somehow deleted his email address.

The guy who I think was Paul, a Maori chap and his brother, were to meet me and their wives at a bar overlooking one of the busiest roundabouts in Hanoi.

Anyway, the guys' wives and I met, as agreed, at the bar but there was no sign of the guys. They'd made their way to a bar in the same building higher up that turned out to be a house of ill repute.

Ahem, anyway, they figured that out and scarpered but didn't realised their wives and I met two floors below.

Now these were good folk ;and I'm determined to catch up and have the ale with them we should have had there. Can anyone help? I'm sure there will be someone reading this, who knows these folk; and I'd be very grateful to be put in touch with them. Many thanks.
