Dan and I made it to Cambodia today. We celebrated not killing each other or ourselves by enjoying a lovely, ice cold Angkor beer at lunch! There are a lot of fantastic things from Vietnam that warrant their own write-ups, but they will have to wait a bit. Frankly, it'll be easier to do so when I have access to a computer that doesn't try to auto-correct my typing to, say, Vietnamese or Cambodian. So when I return to the states next week (BOO), I will go back and fill in the blanks. But until then, here are a few of my favorite things from Vietnam:
1. Watching our homestay host in Sapa go to town on a bong while his 2-yr old son sat in his lap.
2. Eating pho on the street on a plastic stool that was clearly meant for the 2-year old in #1 above.
3. Realizing that Dan and I were the only people in the country not wearing face masks.
4. Buying a conical hat, then 48 hrs later actually putting it to use in the rain.
5. Dan wearing a conical hat with a big yellow ribbon.
6. Finding beer for 20 cents a glass in Hoi An.
7. Having said beer in Hoi An served to us by a 3-year old.
8. The one phrase that everyone in Vietnam knows: "Hello, you buy!"
9. Laughing at sunglasses vendors trying to sell me sunglasses despite the fact that I was wearing... sunglasses.
10. Attending Champocalypse: the all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink-Veuve-Clicquot brunch at the Intercontinental Saigon (my stomach is still in recovery from that).
11. Dan getting attacked by a chicken.
12. SUPER MUCH FUN!!
