Here again.
So now we're in the seaside resort of Nha Trang. It's quite similar to Blackpool but without the dead jellyfish and scouse stag-do's. We've got a lovely hotel room just a stones throw from the beach, with aircon, a balcony, a fridge, cable TV, a bath, a shower AND a toilet (and one of those handheld arse-cleaner hosepipes I grew so fond of in Thailand). All for the grand sum of five quid a night. Not bad eh? Not bad at all.
You'll be pleased/disappointed (depending on who you are) to hear that I haven't shit myself on any coaches or boats yet. Don't worry though, there's plenty of time yet. I've got an 11-hour overnighter tonight to Hoi An so fingers crossed.
Before leaving Saigon we visited the Cu Chi tunnels, which is a huge network of underground tunnels that the Viet Cong lived in during the war. Actually went down and had a crawl through and I'll be honest with you, it's not the nicest place in the world to live. I was down there for 5 minutes and came out shaking and sweating - from the heat of course, not because I was shitting myself and getting all claustrophobic like a big girl.
We've also visited a crocodile farm (not sure why after just coming from Australia but there you go). Apparently they have twenty-four THOUSAND crocodiles there! Twenty-four thousand and we saw every fucking one of them. I'll tell you what - once you've seen one crocodile...
We've also found out recently that apparently Kaori actually looks Vietnamese. Loads of locals keep speaking to her in Vietnamese, and as she's a bit taller and better looking than the average Asian, I've noticed loads of people stare at her. They then give me that 'oh-yeah-you've-got-yourself-an-Asian-prostitute' look of disgust, which is nice. So with that in mind and with my dwindling funds I have decided the best thing to do is to sell her. Now now, before all of you feminists and vegetarians write in to complain, I am of course joking. I mean, why sell her outright when I can rent her out by the hour?
