OK Post Hotel Nha Trang

... it was an advanced conversational class so it was easy. A good start. Then I taught a morning class, similar to the first one. Now I feel like I am living here. It feels wonderful to have something to keep me busy and doing something worthwhile. I love the kids, they are actually not street kids at all but mostly college kids who want more opportunity to study English. <br><br>Just so you know, I sincerely tried to leave ...

... when they tell me I am fat. They also ask you immediately upon meeting you how old you are. This is necessary because that determines what the pronoun they use to address you. Lastly, and best of all, being told that I am fat is tremendously inspiring. I've taken some before pictures and will post them on this blog before I come home. Then you can be the judge of how fat I am and was.<br><br>Just before I left for Nha Trang I got ...

... drop his seat head down onto my feet! Hell... maybe he just had a foot fetish or something!<br>Anyway Tanya fell asleep in a few minutes as she is prone to do snuggled up between me and two German girls, and I followed a few hours later, I thought it was great till I woke up with dozens of bites on my feet! The but must have had mossies or something. Perhaps the foot fetish man had fleas and wants to spread the love!<br ...

... we were left with a "Yellow dressed Monk" who rode with us all the way to Nha Trang, ( The yellow Monks are probably the " Fresh" monks...) We saw a lot of Orange monks in Cambodia. I thought it was the Dutch soccer team having a practice in the heat for the upcoming World Cup in South Africa. But no...the"yellow" monks are devinatly "fresh Monks". They study a lot and read a big Book. Pray at every bus stop and don´t drink or eat, let alone smoke and have a beer. But ...

... in front of the bus at the 62 Tran Phu Hotel for $10 a night - had aircon &amp; WIFI! Nath slept until I woke him at 10am &amp; we went over the road to trhe beach &amp; hung out for the next few hours. We paid $2 each to get a mattresss for our beachbed under an umbrella &amp; welcomed some ...

Nha Trang<br><br> After a 12 hour bus journey from Saigon I arrived in the beach resort of Nha Trang. It was 6am and I could once again smell my own delightfully pungent aroma. When you arrive after these bus journeys your so tired its difficult to fight off the motorbike taxi drivers and hotel reps that jump on you as soon as your feet hit the pavement. The only saving grace was the fact I was on my own and could slip off and have a ...

Well&#8230; I know it's been a while since my last blog but I am finally now just leaving Nha Trang. I met some awesome down to earth people and just couldn&#8217;t leave. Pip, Charles, and Dave twisted my arm into staying a few more days to work with two students with down syndrome who came into Crazy Kim&#8217;s to learn English and as a thank you we all had some crazy adventures. <br><br>Monday I was supposed to go to the mud baths but Pip wasn&#8217;t feeling too hot ...

... we were quickly targeted and harassed by the local motorcycle taxi drivers. We chose to walk in the general direction of some cheap hotels and found ourselves a deal at $7 per night including air con. It was on our first night that our culinary adventure began. Looking for something both cheap... and different from the norm we hiked around town looking for any kind of food that would be just right... and we stumbled upon a teeny tiny kebab ...

... The beds were double-decker, with individual compartments for each person that stood alone. Unfortunately, the beds were made with a built-in reclining slant (kind of like a lounge chair at the pool that doesn&#8217;t go completely flat) and you had to be the right size for the beds in order to fit comfortably. The &#8220;right size&#8221; is a 5 foot 5 Asian person, which suited me fine, but Hanan had some problems. Furthermore, the bus driver turned off the lights at 6 ...

Breakfast at a sidewalk cafe, then took a bus to the wharf for our day cruise of the islands. Had the boat to ourselves unlike other cruises that were packed with tourists. Drizzled on the way out. Finally got to a small netted area, and everybody was reluctant to go in. Some eventually did. Nice seafood lunch on board, then we moved offshore of the beach for another swim -- only a few again. Chugged over to a fishing village called 'fishing village' where we saw the fish ...
