Mui Ne photos

Everyone I've talked to will tell you Mui Ne is so amazing. It was not my favourite place I've been, but maybe it's better with a big group and when it's not rainy season. Alas, here are a few photos :)

My rented bike by the beach

Garden view outside our hotel room

Pool and beach view from our room

Sand dunes

Someone's garden I got yelled at for photographing... oops.

Mui Ne STINKS and it's because of miles and miles of these little fish being dried out

I tried to steal this kitten from the bar, but he wasn't having it.

Nha Trang photos

Like I said, Nha Trang was amazing an beautiful and I'd live there if it were a viable option. Here are a few pictures... I was too busy enjoying myself to take a bunch. That's the problem isn't it?

Durian, tastes and smells as gross as it looks.

Jenga!

Delicious seaside, seafood lunch

Home sweet... Saigon

Well, my weekend in Nha Trang was awesome up until last night when I thought the train was at 9pm and it was actually at 7pm and I noticed at 6:30pm. We had crappy ban mi's (egg and tofu on a baguette) and slept until the train that was SUPPOSED to be 9 hours (which would have put us back in Saigon at 4am) turned out to be 11.5 hours, and THEN my taxi driver decided to give me a tour of the city and run up the cab fair pretending not to know where he was going. I got in my apartment at 7:40am this morning and ran out the door at 7:55am to go to work.

Needless to say today's lunch was fantastic because it basically felt like I hadn't eaten since lunch yesterday... which, by the way, was an amazing lunch. Nha Trang is a definite must for any one that comes to Vietnam: cool ocean air, fresh sea food, and tons of English speaking Vietnamese! And the overnight train is pretty sweet.. even if it takes WAY longer than they say.

I tried to send more post cards this weekend, but I miscalculated my time immensely and didn't make it to the post office. I'm going to Mui Ne this weekend, I think, so look for some love from there.

Another check-in

All is well on this side of the world. I'm going to Nha Trang this weekend, train tickets in hand :) Find me on facebook because I'm too lazy to figure out how to make Picasa (the picture site that's in cahoots with blogspot) work.

Also, taking donations for the "Lauren's camera is broken and she wants to buy her roommate's" Fund... feel free to inquire about where to send money :)

Off to my last lesson with Dahoon. Hopefully I'll find another kid that wants to speak Jersey English.

Love to all!
