Vietnam (jan 27 – Feb 26 2006)
Friday, January 27th, 2006After only 6 days in Cambodia, we move into Vietnam. Our whole goal is to get to a place before the Vietnamese New Year. It supposedly crazy….like New Years and Birthdays and all celebrations rolled into one! If we don’t get there early, then we may be out of luck for any kind of accomodation. Our bus was supposed to take us all the way through to Saigon. It stops short of the border at this shit-hole of a restauarnt. At this point in our travels we’re getting REALLY tired of always being taken to the bus driver’s family owned restaurant on the way to a destination. We never eat at them……they’re little hole in the wall places, and we’ve had enough stomach bugs to know to avoid eating there. We’ve stopped looking in the “kitchen” area anywhere we eat. It would turn your stomach to see the supposed cleanliness of most of these places. We have realized however that the body can deal with some nastiness if eaten in moderation…….Plus we think alcohol kills a lot of things, so we take this under advisement everytime we eat! [read on]
