... net over her face.

Once we were out of the rickshaws, we had a tour of the Cham Museum. It is full of statues that were found in an archaeological dig. It was too hard to hear our guide so I did not get much out of that tour. After that we headed to the base of Marble Mountain to the marble factory & store. I picked up a couple of marble bowls but decided the beautiful marble table and chair set that I was admiring might make by suitcase overweight ...

... town is only small and we could walk to a hotel in town. We checked into Phong Dong $8 for a double and single bed.
Encase you were wondering the rain had not stopped yet, all the surrounding country side is
flooded. we went out for some food and tried ' white Roses', which is rice flour of shaped as a rose with a bit shrimp in the middle and dried onions on the top. Apparently it is a specialty in Hoi An. They were alright but nothing special, it would be better if it had a ...

... of hooting my horn I eventually got back to the hotel before Nathan. I also witnessed an almost horrendous crash which somehow narrowly avoided any real damage with two bikes in front of me. But being white and being the only one around and without the language I reckoned it would be all to easy to get mixed up when all I was doing was driving behind so seeing no one was hurt I just overtook and skedaddled out of there.

That Da Nang trip included a stop in “string street”, a street full of wonderfully interesting shops, all piled high with rolls of string, rope, twine, cord, fishing line, wire, etc. Mark and Ghi decided on one of them and bought 3.5 kg of natural twine, made from coconuts. The workshop ladies use this string in making several items. They ...

... enrichment has occurred in the context of hot and sunny weather. However, the rainy season has now started, a few weeks early. If it has not officially started, it has certainly given us a fairly substantial taste of what is to come. It has poured rain for a week, in stark contrast to the preceding couple of weeks, which were extremely hot. Mark felt very happy that he had just got new tyres put on his bike.

Our 6-month visa was due to expire on 1st September, so we went ...

... messing up his IV tube.
I slept there that night woke up to Mr. Hai's snoring a few times during the night, but slept well. The doc. came in about 8am to tell me I had a bacterial infection and that she would prepare my meds. I just hung out watching rally racing and tennis until I got my meds and finally was discharged from the hospital. It was crazy, but what a story eh? ahaha.

... wouldn’t eat the wooden fish, of course, but its presence made them feel their meal was complete. They dipped vegetables into the fish sauce believing the wooden fish actually gave the sauce an authentic fish flavor. They picked up the scallions and ginger with their chopsticks believing to have also picked up some fish, with that they scooped rice into their mouths. And this made them feel not so poor.

... to follow them around and see if you can wear them down. The museum of cham sculpture is very interesting and helped us to learn more about the gods the Chams worshipped, my favourite is the Holy Bird Garuda, he has the body of a man and the head of a bird and he is usually shown killing a snake called Naga.
