Hi hi. In Saigon. For the next few days. And then we go to Cambodia, to avoid paying the $$$ from Vietnam to Bangkok airfare. Yes, we are taking a boat and sneaking over the border. Totally legit. Then stay in Phnom Phen for a day or so, and see some S21 and the Killing Fields, and then off to Bangkok for a few days, so Ruben and I can get a different, cheaper apartment. Ohlala, so exciting. We found some cheap places and I think it'll be totally fantastic. Had the nicest birthday ever, yes, I am officially 24. Shudder. We rented a motorcycle, drove around, got completely lost, ran out of gas, had a flat tire, went to random island on random boat to see some monkies, got attacked by monkies, saw a dancing bear, got trapped on island, drove home, did not get lost, had nice nice nice dinner, drank some nice nice nice drinks on the beach, with a nice nice nice Dutchman, and got really, really pretty earrings from said nice Ducthman. My Dutch is amazing, and only results in Ruben have to correct me 68% of the time. Improvement, improvement. I even talked to random Dutch tourist to practice, "Hullo, bent jij Nederlands?" Oh yes, it is shockingly amazing. Anyways, Vietnam is oh so much fun, and we are loving it, and learning lots and lots about the American War, which is awesome. Seeing some war tunnels, will shoot a AK47 tomorrow, and generally being humbled about this horrible history of the Vietnamese. First the French, then the Americans (along with the SOuth Koreans, the Australians, the New Zealanders, the Thais...) Indeed. Learning so much, and having the time of my life. Even learning some Vietnamese. Didn't get us lost once today, (okay more than once) as we wandered around Saigon (HCM) to see the War Museum, and the Reunification Palance. Met some children who shined my flip flops and fixed them, practiced English with other Vietnamese. Very very very very nice day. We loved it. Weather is good, no hurricane. Feel cut off from natioanl news, loving every minute of this trip, and bought everyone some snake wine. As a joke! Geez, do you think I can just take crates of it back? I wish... I will try to post pictures again.  ¶ 9:19 PM
