vietnam, halfway
Jan. 1st, 2013 09:29 amHave eaten way more than is probably necessary in the last five days.
Haven't gotten to see as much as I'd have liked, primarily because B2 is prone to headaches in the heat and exhaustion, and so we can't go out too far or too much. I'll come back another time and explore further.
HCMC is kinda crazy - very much not a 'western' or 'westernised' city, but beautiful in its own way, and quite fascinating.
I've bought a bit of clothing - a few shorts, a few tops, but today we're going to the Ben Thanh markets and I'm going to go fabric shopping. Probably silk for making quilts, although I still haven't put together the fabric I bought when I was in China this time last year.
We're going back on Thursday, to arrive home on Friday. It'll be good to be home again, sleep in my own bed, cuddle with my kitteh, and to know that when you cross the road at the lights, you don't have to keep an eye out for people on motorbikes coming at you.
Happy New Year, btw. :)
