... is wrestling a Rooster next door", therefore not a dream as I originally thought.<br><br>As for Saigon as the elders call it, a chance to grab some culture and history, although bleak. The War Remnants Museum helps to tie in the trip to Hoa's place and our other destinations in Vietnam. Honest and raw, there is plans for a refit. However, the quotes and the ...

... bag which she attached to the bike, were soon speeding down Bui Vien to the hotel.<br><br>On arrival I checked in then was told to put my luggage with some other bags at the foot of the stairwell. I assumed someone would be bringing it up for me. The woman on reception, the owner, then led me to my room, up and up and up the stairs until we finally emerged on the fifth floor. What a mission. She showed me into the pleasant room, then asked me to wait at the top of the ...

... a year, it's hugely popular. That was evident last night, the place was rammed, mostly local people but a good smattering of Westerners. Mark said it's a sell-out but he managed to get tickets through his work, and apparently people go along night after night if they can. It wasn't long before the tables were packed with people dancing and singing, and clapping ...

... declined whereupon the woman obviously thought it would be hilarious to lift up the collar of her blouse and reveal the rather large tarantula that was living underneath it. It was absolutely huge apparently just sitting there - instead of taking a photo as she afterwards wished she had - I believe she let out a scream much to the woman&#8217;s delight and ran back to join me in the relative safety of the bus. However the incident left a rather large scar on ...

Our trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels, just outside of Ho Chi Minh, was just a half day long, but what a trip. Not only did we get to crawl through the tunnels, Niall shot a gun and there was ALOT of nasty looking GI traps to see.<br><br> The first tunnel was dug by a french guy in 1945 and the people of the area continued digging them throughout the years. Good job, cos they came in great use for the Viet Cong when the war was in full flow. Kitchens, sleeping areas ...

... We were then led into a large showroom and encouraged to shop for paintings, vases, platters, and many other pieces of artwork. We ended up buying a small eggshell painting and a toothpick holder. <br><br>We were soon motoring our way into the outskirts of Cu Chi town, passing orchid farms and rubber tree plantations along the way. Many of the homes along the road into town had gated entrances ornamented with small statues of dogs &#8220;sitting&#8221; on top of ...

... as possible to the word tuk tuk (i.e. luck luck, puck puck, buck buck) and see how many Cambodian men look up and start running toward you. Yes we are lame, but fun comes in odd forms here. The day before we had realised we would need such a vehicle, but eerily none were around. An idea struck...we all got out the map and started scratching our heads, two seconds later one turned up. Am definetly thinking of starting up a similar business in York, and may import the ...

... swim. I swear that is the best way to start the day, the sun had only just came up so the water was cold so it was really refreshing, i'd have done it the next day as well but we were all far to hungover! Once we had all recovered though we caught "the worlds longest oversea cable car" to a island that has been turned into a big resort/theme park called Vinpearl. My fear of heights is getting worse so i hated the ride over and Joe took loads of pictures of me loking really scared (thanks ...
