I've been a bad Buddha. The blog has been seriously neglected. I would apologise but lets face it, why would I apologise for not sitting at a computer socially networking when I could be having the time of my life?!
And it is, you know. Probably the best moment of my life.
So what have you missed out on chaps?! I cant even contemplate where to begin. Cambodia on the last night was left on a high note, the day was spent looking at some beautiful temples (one being the one from Tomb Raider) and our last night out with the Asian Adventure tour. We hit a bar called Angkor WHAT and said our emotional goodbyes afterwards. Really miss those guys!
The 11 of us plodded along to Vietnam, were I idiotically booked a multiple entry visa instead of a single visa, hello 25 dollars WASTED. Still sulking is very few and far between here, I guess it's hanging around with the aussies, no one seems to get mad they just...let it go.
Ho chi min city quite simple put...mental. Hundreds and thousands of scooters beeping at you for crossing the road at a zebra crossing. You simply have to just walk and hope for the best. Luckily I only manage to get run over by a bicycle, not too sure if the guy was happy I punched his basket on the way to safety but at least it wasnt a scooter!
I cant remember what we did day for day so i'll just tell you how it is. We visited where Ho chi min was "buried" and tried my upmost not to laugh at the fact he looks like kernel sanders. And by trying, i mean REALLY trying because the communist soldiers were incredibly scary. One look at them in a funny way and its a gun in the face style! I made the mistake of trying to join a queue "in the wrong way" and almost crapped my pants when he told me off.
Highlight of vietnam has got to be nha trang and halong bay. Easily. Although in nah trang my knuckles were turning white for holding onto my bag in fear of being mugged, the beach party we went to was phenonmenal. I recorded the dj because the mixes he was coming out with were incredible. we had spa night at SuSpa were I treated myself to a Vietnamese massage and a pedicure. Bit embarassing I fell asleep but the kind asian lady assures me it happens all the time :S
Halong bay. Wow. We had an overnight stay in a junkboat, which was probably the best night sleep of my life! Lunch and dinner onboard was about 5 or 6 dishes of the best seafood I have ever encounted. I was simply in my element. We got up early to kayak along the bay to monkey island were we fed those little cretins. After all the group has gone it was just Sarah and I in our kayak surrounded by nothing but islands, only the sound of the occassional sea eagle We must of just stayed there for a good 15 minutes in complete silence taking it all in.
This is all im gonna blog for now, im pretty hungry after an eventful night out in Phuket! Will explain more later!
