... to motion that we should wipe the mouth of the bottle down. I don't want to know why. It ended up being a late night. This is all I can tell you. The last day my friends and I went to the Mekong Delta. It's a huge huge river. Don't really know what else to say about that. They produce half the amount of rice exported from Vietnam. Basically, we were all very tired from the night before and it was a long hot day and we just wanted to shower and sleep. Only a couple days to China! Talk to you after!

... were caused by Agent Orange. Odd. Anyway, we also read articles from some US soldiers themselves talking about how terrible the war was and how against it they were! One of the best (and less shocking) bits about this museum were all the tanks/helicopters/bombs/etc outside... Drew went a little photo crazy! There was also a separate section in the museum about the prison at Phu Quoc island which was used prior to the war where prisoners suffered some terrible forms of torture. The ...

Vietnam here we come! Today off on the 7 am Mekong Express bus that cost $12 U.S each for the 6hr trip that left from Orrissey markets. Bottles of water and a snack box of the yummy bakery items were given out as we left. At the town of Neak Loeung the bus went on a car ferry to cross the wide Mekong River. Just before the border which was 4 hrs away, we stopped for a rest. I wandered over the road to check out ...

... my hair??? I'm puzzled and follow him. The entire bus had to do the same- BUT what he said was "doctor check your ear" (to take our temperature). Our temperatures are taken to confirm that we did not have an illness (aka Swine Flu). We wait in line one more time and listen for our name to be called to get our passport and board the bus for the very last time. I'm on my way! <br>Arriving in Ho Chi Minh I am amazed at ...

Vietnam, summing it up................. <br><br>Vietnam- What a great j*urney! I ent**ed the capit*l city *f Han*i the last time that I had bl*gged. Han*i was a mess *f m*t*r bikes, pe*ple ev**ywh**e trying t* sell f*reign**s s*mething, and a maze *f streets that w**en't particularly clean. Besides the f**d, I really disliked this city and the unpleasant, unfriendly, attitude. N*rth Vietnam and S*uth Vietnam are still 2 t*tally diff**ent w*rlds even aft** the ...
