Oh lordy lordy lordy

Oh hơ time flies and I am on a weird viet. keyboard so my chẩcters might be off. So Saigon, I loved it loved it loved it. Pẻhaps because it ứa àter Nha Trang, ưhich á a town reminded me too much of Cabo or Cancun so it ứa nice to come back to civilized, exciting society. Yes it's very busy and huge but I walked alot took a tãi ưhen I needed to and saw lotts of cultural landmarks, ưent shopping;) and loved the chinese mảket. No haggling no pulling you every ưhich ưay; everything's cheap and you dont feel like you're being played out ò a couple ò dollars, ưhich after many dáy begins to really get tiresome easily. And oh the píc!!!!!!!; I sưear I've been trying to upload them but noww that I'm old technology and me are no longer friends and I dont know ưhat I'm supposed to be doing and ưhatever. They ưill be posted sooner or later with handy dandy commentary and y'all love 'em as much as I do.....and well yesterday, the first dish claimed the title of one I could not finish and the lucky dish was Viet. snails steamed in a côcnut sauce. Now, the shells ưere gorgeous, the taste ưas nice and côcnutty but the ưay they eat them.....oh lordy! you such as hard as you can out of one end and if that doesnt ưork then out ò the other end (o my gawd kảren you're tưin just ưalked in to the cafe, glasses, ponytail, your style, and i think she's german it could be your long lost cousin)
so the snails, ended up being kinda like chewy snot, and more then once ưhile sucking got ưhat lôoked like a loogie/snot hanging from the shell to my mouth....so I gave it my best shot but after a half dozen, i gave up...but that's all in the pát and my stomach is hardened once again, So i'm sure no mỏe problems of the kind. and today, I ứa on the Mekong Delta on 6 diferent modes ò transportation!!!!! By far my fave was the canoe, ưhere i đint have to paddle but got to ưear a viet. cone hat!!!! and then just for sheer amusement, the lounge chairs on a flatbed behing a scooter!!!!!! and got to try elephant fish!
Nơ I'm in Can to city the largest city in the Mekong delta and lôking for some rice ưine. Tried côconut ưine and not á charming or táty as snake ưine...have to try the rice.

  1. Fico contente de saber que você continua vivendo as suas aventuras. Só é uma pena que eu tenha entendido pouquíssimo do seu texto com símbolos esquisitos. Beijos!
