We R having a ball in Ho Chi now, Bankok was rad too! In Bangkok we stayed on Kaosan Rd, a Mecca for all backpackers, like in "The Beach" minus the Snake Blood! Lol but it was cool we had vendors galore all up an down the road, we had the best spring rolls ever for 30 cents each. Great pad Thai for 1.10$ saw people eating scorpions the size of rats, it was crazy. We went to the reclining Buddha, the emerald buddha, the Kings Grand Pallace and the largest pure teak mansion in the world, it has no nails in it, all wooden dowels!! And a part that was bombed in the war!
Here in Vietnam we had a good day, went to the war relics museum ( of the Vietnam war) it was incredibly sad to see the photos of the civilian victims and the deformities caused by the millions of tones of Agent Orange dropped on the country, I got really teary and couldn't stay too long. Then after that we found an STA travel and booked the Choo Chi Tunnels tour for tomorrow, where we can go down the tunnels used in the war. We also booked our next flight to Hoi An for the 26 th of Dec, can't wait! :)
All in all, feel so blessed to be on this trip!
