Final Prep

So. Here I am back in Saigon.

After a few nights in Dalat, we scooted to the coast on a bus towards a place called Muine (Mui`-Nay). Muine was a beach town, one long strip of road and a ton of hotels and places to eat food, rent surfing equipment (of the wind variety) and buy extremely cheesy hats. Vietnamese are crazy for wearing cheesy hats. I just can't bring myself to wearing a hat like that hawaiian punch lush...

Anyway, it was low season in Muine, meaning it was relatively devoid of human life, save for the few backpackers running through to take $300 kitesurfing lessons and 50-70 year-old Aussie couples. Also there were alot of electricity issues. Most of the time if we would get lunch somewhere the waiter would seat us and then dissapear. We would hear a generator begin to roar and then bad music and fans blowing. Muine was relaxing for the most part, but a non-AC room and no nightlife combined with a jellyfish/algae bloom made it significantly less entertaining.

So, it is my last full day in Saigon (where we arrived last night) and I am compiling a list of shit I need to get/do. We'll see if my wallet can handle it....:

1. One liter of Cobra Wine
2. One kilo of Saigon tobacco
3. One carton of Vinataba Cigarettes as promised for one E. Sauvain
4. A large North Face backpack, non-counterfit
5. Assorted family gifts
6. Write 4 letters
7. Aquire 3 more pairs of Ray-Bans
8. Go to Dung's bar tonight so he and the girls can give us a promised send off
9. Get back to North America

Until then.
