I have a few hours kip and get awoken with a beer. Sam's birthday so we spend the day drinking gin and tonic. I have met so many amazing people and travelling on my own has increased my confidence again no end. Happy hour has begun so looks like a delayed hangover on the cards. I have a fabulous burger at the hostel that sets me up for the day. Sam buys a complete traditional outfit for his birthday from a local Hmong tribes woman. A Kodak moment. Him and Steve leave for Hanoi so hopefully hook up again. I join the pub quiz which is a range of categories, mixed with a few games. I win my challenge downing a pint the fastest.

Play drinking game cups. 2 teams and you drink the beer and have to flip the cup over, before it moves on to the next person. Our team - Team Ally wins both times.

Alot of time is spent on the stairs and seats outside. Get speaking with a German girl Lulu, who is a pool shark. Her ex had a pool table in his flat. Always fun trying to beat her. A few of us go up to Justin's room where he has a nice balcony. Tiredness is kicking in and bed calls me
Everyone is on treks. Have room to myself.(LT)
