Saigon!!!

Hello!

It's been a while since my last post! And i really wanted to show you lots of photos but the internet place here won't let me connect my camera to the computer..so the pics and stories will have to wait a day or two!

Long story short, i've been in Saigon (or Ho Chi Minh city depending how old you are)for the last 6 days. Vietnam...is...awesome. I did a day trip on the Mekong Delta where we visited a coconut candy factory...we also learned how rice paper and rice crispy is made! I visited the famous Cu Chi Tunnels and have mixed feelings about it. The tunnels themselves are interesting/scary/fun but the whole place had a weird theme park vibe to it. Inapropriate is a word that came up often. The guide made too many jokes, there are disneyesque robotic puppets everywhere, there's a shooting range!!! But i did love going thru 100 metres of tunnels, 3 feet high and less than 2 feet wide in some places! (up to 10 metres deep!!) We ended the tour in Ving Long in a cool market with lots of weird stuff for sale..the highlight of my day: Being the first brave guy/idiot to grab a bunch of lives snakes from a cage. Picture to prove it coming soon. :)

Besides that, i've just been walking around the city..visiting lots of museums. (Fine Arts museum, War Remnants museum, Ho chi Minh museum)I went to a zoo/botanical garden today! There's so much to do around here!!

But i have to move on so tomorrow i'm leaving for Mui Ne where sand dunes and beaches await!

I'll write more when i can put some pics up!
