Part 2 Vietnam

Hi,
Sorry this has taken me so long to write, but we've been overnight training and busing all over the country! We're about to embark on a 5 day tour to Sapa, where we'll be treking and staying with a family (homestay style) living with a tribe, awesome!!
Have been to lots of amazing places! One of my favourites was Hoi An where you just go into any tailor (and there's about 30 of them) and ask for what you want, look in magazines and they make whatever clothes for you. I got 2 coats, 2 pants, 2 shirts all for $100 AUS, stoked!
I guess will post some pics after Sapa, when we come back to Hanoi for a night. Sorry I keep promising photos, but we're always on the move and doing things. It feels like I've been here a month, but it's only been a week! Miss you all XO
PS. Sorry I'm writing in broken english, but it's all we do day in day out!!!!! I will need to do a literacy course back home, joining words are over rated!!!


Few quick things:
1. Here you are a millionare!! I'm getting out 2 million dong ever couple of days, sweet!
2. Went snorkling at an island near Nha Trang, an Michael smashed his foot on coral...a puffy foot and a lot of bleeding later we had one infected foot! Went to a chemist just in the street, and the lady spoke some broken english and gave us antibiotics and anit inflammitary drugs right over the counter, no script required!!
3. All cars here have a reverse ring tone!! Due to the monstrous traffic, with bikes and people going in every which direction the cars have a mono-tone reverse song, my favourite is "We wish you a merry christmas"!!
4. We may have picked up a hooker, or some kind of pro or just a 16 year old girl that wanted to hang out with some Westerners!! Either way it was weird and we got her into a taxi quick smart.
5. This wouldn't be a blog from me if it didn't involve some kind of toilet comment. One word...ewwww. It's squat toilet, splash back, no toilet paper, poo on the floor and rinse when you're done with a bucket of water. All I can say is Dettol is my best friend.

Ok must go!
Tam biet!
