Me love you long time....

We've been traveling through Vietnam pretty quickly now. It's a long country to get through in two weeks. And, to tell you the truth, the people are not that great. Of course you'll meet the occasional friendly person, but all in all, not too friendly. We've mostly been conned or all they want is to rip us off. We left Saigon after many days of fun. We met a Brazilian football team that made us laugh...and very nice to look at! We then took the long journey to Nha Trang. It's on the southern coast of Vietnam. It came highly reccommended, but I don't see what all the fuss is about. It's a cool beach, but not beautiful and everyone wants your money. We did have one of the best days so far though. We went on a boat cruise all day to various islands and had so much fun. It was of course geared towards young backpackers and had lots of drink on board. The staff played some music with a guitar and some buckets for a drum kit. We met tons of people on the boat and all had a good time and proceeded to go out all night with most people we met. The next day we wanted to get out of Nha Trang, so we took the night bus to Hoi An. It's 12 hours north on the bus and it was a very crazy ride. Up and down mountains and feeling like the bus was about to flip over most of the time. We made it to Hoi An and now I think I've changed my mind on Vietnam. This is a cute litte town and most people are really friendly. It's also a woman's paradise. Hoi An is known for cheap tailors. We have ordered so many things already. I just pick out the fabric and describe what I want and they make it! Everyone makes suites or clothes, bras, underwear...it's great. Even the men are getting into it. We'll be in a store and a man will come up to us for advise on colors of fabrics. At night while out, people discuss what they are having made...Very funny! We like this town, but we have to move on soon if we want to make it to Laos for two weeks also, which I am really looking forward to.

Gotta run to pick up some of my new clothes! I love this!
