curry, the mekong , turantula wine...4real...

...woohooo I', in Vietnam, yay, cant wait for the morning so can say a particular phrase!!! Hellish!! :)
So Sun we went to a locals for dinner, it was amazing..absolutely gorgeous food, curries etc. Yeehaarrr!! Then tried turantual wine-omg sooooooooo strong...he brought it out in this container that holds 70 of them and then got one out (it was dead or absolutely hammered)! Got a pic of that.....
Then we went to some bars and played some pool and I got to bed at 2am....had ansum sleep and up again at 10 (my first lie in)...
So we got to the harbour and Greg's visa was incorrect so there was a kerfuffle at the embassy and then we had to leave him behind :(
The boat trip lasted about 5 hours and was awesome, speeing down the Mekong, looking at the life, took some pics but they will never compare to the actual experience-what an awesome feeling, sat in the sun with a smoke...speeding along, bliss......
We had to get off the boat on the Cambodian side and I got bitten by an ant-ouch, that side was fine, omg to the Vietnamese side was hectic...some border guy was on the boat and all angry "get off the boat" (thought I wasin Russia the way I was ebing spoken to hehe) and it docked on like a hill so had to leap off onto the mud bank and then got harrassed by a load of kids...argh...then we had to go to about 5 different places and then go back to the boat, get all our big bags out and put them through a scanner wilst some scetcy guy took photos (??!!) wtf?
So.finally, docked at Chau Doc and the uys went on motorbikes up to Sam Mtn and I chilled at the hotel as tum was bit iffy.....
Then last night we went out on different cyclos (ur practically eating ur knees) to a locals house for food and a beer (I think it is Saigon here in 'Nam).
Up again at 5.50am and then a 8 our bus journey into Ho Chi Minh (HCM) oh and 2 ferries, everybody off, everybody on and so on..at least could smoke on the ferry hehe. On the us I got everyone playing the "today I went to the market" game...was well funny, the list was turantula, korean kid, polish hotdogs and oter random tings....hellish!!
So 2.5 days left. Been out with Greg this afternoon for an earl grey and chocie cake (bliss) and got some snacks for the morn as off to the Cu Chi tunnels at 8.10am...yikes, cannae wait and I hope to shoot some guns too..yeeharrr!!! See me go....new profile pic in the making me thinks. Then my final night and then fly 7is Thurs eve so will probably ust pop down the market Thurs morn to get a 'Nam t-shirt.
HCM-omg, to cross the road, you walk and the motorbikes just weave around you, I'm not joking, its well scary...omg, ust crossed 2 on me tod..argh....
