hey all, in hoi an now, just had another killer night journey and will put pics on soon, sat next to about 10 mad vietnamese business men wil far too much energy so was cramped in the corner singer songs with them, yet more love song 80's hits, and when i wanted to sleep they still carried on with their irritating whining language at the tops of their voices. but apart from that it was ok, and took a valium off someone and was knocked out for a while happy days. slept til 2pm today after arriving at 7am, and staying in an absolutely pimping old french colonial building. stunning. have cable tv (for the footy)(GO ON EVERTON!!!)(EH EH EH EH EH NICE ONE NICE ONE SOUND!), a bath!, a fridge and room service and huge comfy bed. fairly dear though at about 3 quid a night. but hey its only for one night. im gona get my ass up to Hue next then to hanoi and a boat trip around the 3000 islands of halong bay. sposed to be spectacular. then im really thinking of flying over to bangkok, its only $47 so will prob save the time and effort of Laos again and get to the beaches of thailand before i hit sydney and start working. arlighty im starving, off for breaky then im gona cycle around the town and beaches and see what this place has to offer before a detox night and early bus to Hue tomorrow. good times.
