... old western favorites), and the bleakest thing i have seen so far. An animal freak show. Originally i thought it might be funny so i paid my 5000 dong and went in.

When we first arrived here at Mui ne we heard that it was a destination for Kite Surfers and all we saw was people (mostly russian) walking around looking at the sea and basically waiting. At that time I had no idea how many of them were on this stretch of beach. Yesterday and today have been really windy and the surfers have taken to the sea, I tried to count yesterday and stopped at had to stop at 50. It is really quiet neat to watch as ...

... That same bungalow has been completely updated, and now rents for $225. Sara and I stayed in a place that was NO where near as cute and charming as that last trip.

He ran down the road (it was still dark) knocked on someone door and got us a litre of juice to get us to the gas station in town.

I stopped in a book shop to see if there were any ...

... in the kitchen. I had some really ripe, juicy and delectable Thanh Long - sooooo good (this fruit grows on a short tree that looks like a mix of cactus and tree. The fruit starts as a pineapple-shaped fruit in a green rind. As it matures it becomese a purplish red and finally it regains some green color) In Phan Thiet Afterwards, we headed for the heart of Phan Thiet, visiting the nieghborthood where Mom and G-parents lived for umpteen ...
