Phu Quy 2 Nha Trang

... place beckon our senses as the patrons barbeque their seafoods on a small claypot fill hot charcoal. Following Mama Hanh advise, we ordered Lac Canh marinated beef, their shrimps and squids. But sadly no lobster for me. Still I will not forget the taste of that beef!!<br><br>After dinner, Nisa did a little more shoppings. Maybe she noticed that I put up my pathetic sad face hence she got me them Italian ice cream. One way to a man heart is through his stomach you might ...

... and shopping and then hired rickshaws to take us to the monastery where the giant Buddha sits overlooking the city. What a ride! Each rickshaw moved by way of a little man peddling the one-speed bicycle attached to it. We traveled right through the heart of downtown in heavy traffic, everyone dodging everyone. It was a little scary but also very fun. When we reached the monastery, guess what? More Steps&#8212;152 of them ...

... ocean. An attendant came up to the porch to offer us bananas and apples and bookmarks for our reading pleasure. There was a little straw umbrella hut type deal on the beach with two lounge chairs, thick pads and massive white towels - these included a flag that you could wave if you wanted drinks or food brought to you. We were invited around six at night to a free coctail party with blue margaritas, beer, wine, and champagne juice spritzers ...

... made a new plan as we wanted to go to Hanoi by train. We always looked forward to this part of the trip, as the train goes by the whole coast of Vietnam. We booked our tickets that night for the following day, to leave at 6.15 in the morning. To Hanoi, 2 sleeper beds and 35 hours of train in front of us!! That night the electricity went out around 4 am. We hardly noticed as we got up at 5 am. Packed the bags and said goodbye to Mr Grumpy Son as he still had some night ...

... day. At all times we were led by the instructor who looked after the diving equipment and breathing apparatus etc. We arrived at the first dive point Octopus Rock, Mei went first while I snorkeled for a bit, which was much better than I expected as there was a lot of coral close to the surface, it also got me used to breathing under water! After half an hour it was my turn, I was pretty scared and the tank was really heavy but after the jump into the water you have no choice but to breath ...

... 2 Vietnamese clubs where we were a minority being one of only a few Westerners... again! Jo and I stumbled in at 6am with the others in a deep slumber already.<br><br>So today has been day for resting and fighting off our hang overs. We went to the markets and got shouted at by a stall owner when we tried to haggle down a price of a purse... she whipped us with her purse and screamed at us to go away!! Much to our ...

... They have sea-food as well. As I said meat and alcohol what more could a girl ask for? And the swine flu thing? Culture is a weird thing. When I arrived in Ho Chi Minh city all the people at the airport entrance where wearing masks. So it&#8217;s somewhat strange to see this range of &#8220;mouth-less&#8221; people in a sense. And they body scan one on entry so before you hit immigration you pass by a sensor and watch a computer screen to ...

... is a massive spread.  An assortment of vegetables arrived, cucumbers, bean sprouts (25# spilling over the table next to mine, meticulously picked and cleaned by the staff), pickled carrots, radishes, spring onions suspended by a sweet nouc cham, there was small, clumpy plate of thin rice noodles.  A charcuterie stack of sliced, room temperature pork products; shoulder, tounge, liver, pate, a head ...

... s exactly what the kids in China are doing. In the LA I mostly run into fobs, or fobs who were born in the US. The Russian couple from Siberia was really cool too. They were thoroughly impressed with how fast I could type(normal speed) and during a meal, John blurts out "Matt! You are from Los Angeles? You know Tupac!?" ahahaha Apparently he's a big fan. Next up Cambodia, which means more sad stuff and Ankor Wat!
