hello, we r in a girls paradise at the moment! hoi an in vietnam, they hav clothes shops everywhere, and u basically look through ne magazine and say 'i want tht!' and they make it and fit it 2 u and its all so cheap. i hav bn very gd, ive only bought 2 pairs of jeans and 2 pairs of shoes and a pair of boots. lea and alex hav spent 1100pounds between them and hav bought over 120 items!

neway after i last wrote we went on a thai cookery course which was wkd!

then we went 2 laos and sat on a boat wiv tiny wooden seats 4 19hours to get in2 laos. we then went 2 langprabang and went 2 some amazing waterfall that u can swim in and the water is bright blue cos its a lagoon. then we went 2 vang vieng! we went tubing down this river and there are bars all along the river and they throw a rope out 2 u on the river and drag u in 2 the bar. and they hav rope swings and zip wires from the bars in2 the river. it was soooo much fun. long day drinkin tho which ended in a very dissapointing early nite cos none of us could handle more than 12 hours drinking! after that we came 2 vietnam and went 2 hanoi- i hav never seen so many mopeds in my life and the only transport round the city is by walkin or shoutin a random local down and jumpin on the bac of their bike. very scary at some stages but a lot of fun when there r 6 of us in convoy. we only stayed there a few nites and then came 2 hoi an. we hav bn here 3 days and spent the whole time goin from shop 2 shop 4 fittings and things. us girlies hav had lots of fun. havent seen sam 4 a few days but he is around somewhere, he is wiv some other lads he has met.

bn a bit slack wiv photos i no but i will put some on here as soon as we get somewhere tht has fast enuff internet.

hope all is well at home
