Long Hai Beach Resort Vung Tau

... trip car ride<br>- not fun. His mom neglected to tell us that, possiby because she knew<br>we might veto it. I took a 4 hour nap last night after we got back. I<br>was beat.<br><br>Oh, and the grave we were supposed to see is actually in their <br>living room. They were forced to exhume the bodies because the land was<br>needed for something else, so they cremated them and the ashes are in<br>urns in the living room. Kind of ...

... we could all clearly see the woman going into labour in the back....if there ever was a perfect time to start a slow clap this was it!<br><br>We got there around 10pm fri night, where i just crashed....i needed a break from the overly curious vietnemese people...<br><br>The next morn we all went down to check out what we were told was one of vietnam's ordinary beaches....if this is suppose to be ordinary, then **** i'm looking ...

This was a last minute addition to our trip and it ended up being kind of an adventure. WE didn't know much about the area and ended up at a random hotel where no one spoke English. In fact just about no one spoke English in the entire town which made getting around and finding stuff to do rather hard. The beach was okay. it was a little dirty and garbage would be pushed up on the beach when ...

... Not only it's much less expensive than it would have been in the U. S., but if one finds the right studio, picture quality can also be exceptional. Like many others, my sister had her pictures taken in Vietnam, especially since she's marrying a Vietnamese guy in Saigon. She had 2 appointments for pictures taken, one in the studio, the usual, and the other by the ocean. I could tell she was enjoying the experience a great deal.

... our history books, the museum showed us the war from the Vietnamese's perspective. This was similar to our history as it was considerably biased, but when you combine the two stories together it's easy to see both sides of the story and that neither was innocent of atrocities. After a heavy history lesson, we walked back to our district to book our Mekong-Delta tour to Cambodia. Sadly the next morning we said goodbye to HCMC.

... the same kind. I've never seen more bridal shops or stores that sell mattresses and bedspreads in the same area in my life. Everyone passing by on their modes of transportation, whatever they might be (save for cars, which only sit covered and seemingly unused), stares into the tour bus and either smiles and waves or studies your foreign face. If you want to shop here, you can. If you want to sit down on the sidewalk and play a game, you can. If you want ...

... with mui ne, and as we have been trying to hurry up the coast of vietnam, we decided that this is our holiday, and we are going back to mui ne. we also heard that they got the go-ahead to build a disney world in mui ne, so we want to go back and remember it like this. we will then head back to siagon, check out the war museum, and try to figure out a way back to bangkok. love you all, miss you, cari and bob

... t felt the need to get off the ship in any of the other ports so far. I was excited to be exploring but I had no really rush - I figured I would just take my time, not have to deal with the lines and just relax through the first day. Today I got swept up in the fluster of emotions and it was great! Our diplomatic briefing was anything but interesting - I think most of us tuned out after a while, but it was kind of neat to listen to the consulate guys talk about safety and things ...

... wear a helmet. Clearly, lungs are more precious than brains though as nearly all riders wear surgical style masks over their grills to protect their lungs from road pollution and dirt. It was all sensory overload for me and I was nearly in dumb shock by the time I was checked into the beautiful French colonial building housing the Park Hyatt. Sleep came easily, only to be ended abruptly by another jam packed days of Vendor visits. Meeting our charming agent ...
