So it's almost 6 years since my last post, where I promised to keep the blog updated. I missed my blog's 21st birthday. The site has even been completely offline since 2016, when I realised that I was under surveillance and didn't want the scum to manufacture additional dirt. Sorry, darryn.net … [Read more...]

The Mystery of the Missing Millions
On arrival in Viet Nam, at Ho Chi Minh City airport, Hayley withdrew 2,500,000.00₫ (Viet Nam Dong) from a CitiBank ATM. We kept the receipt, and it does say that amount.

The one thing that has made it bearable is Skype; my day is made when I see her smile and hear her laugh. I'm always thinking about her; everything reminds me of her.
