It's almost over!

Ahhh (sigh of relief)... My 2 week vacation shall draw to a close today and man I can't wait to head home... Vietnam has killed me...twice...Well before I came to Vietnam I had my fears and uneasy thoughts but now I'm plain 'o pissed scared...

I doubt I'll ever return to Vietnam for a holiday, the people at Thuy Lam Hotel have been nice, but everywhere else has been a wicked experience...Well being cheated at every corner from the 70,000 vnd taxi ride into the town from You Yi Guan, to the Mango lady with her overpriced mangoes... I knew I needed a good sense of humour to get by, but after a while things can't seem funny anymore.

It was a daily struggle to cross the street and put off the motorbike touters... I naively thought that since it was Vietnam (a country which fought for what it believed in and stood aganist oppressors) the people would be dignified, humble and honest... sigh.. oh well I suppose its the same everywhere huh? (although China was fantastic)

The People I've Met (Credits)

Well this trip wouldn't have been the same if I've not met the following people

Mr Mahn (Mike) the Cab Driver from the airport
Theng (tank)
Moon
Tihn
Tao
Bao Lian
Sheng Jie
Gui Ying
Chui Ling
Hui Hong
The Lady Boss of Long Chuan
The 2 girls at the 9th floor of Long Chuan
Kim
Angela
Jia Ling

These are all blessings that God has provided and I am thankful for His providence.
