well, it is september first and i have successfully finished my teaching here. i took a four day, three night trip to celebrate and to explore more of vietnam, and it was a real highlight of my time here! i went to danang (china beach) and stayed in a $9-a-night hotel with other tourists and vietnamese travelers. the food was good, the company was super cool, the beers were cheap, and the beach was just a few yards away - who could ask for more? the sun was brutal and some of my new Irish tourist pals got the worst sun burn i have ever seen. one girl's legs were burned so badly that there were purple blisters under her skin...we all advised some asprin, beer, and a cold towel to ease the pain, but honestly i think she needed a real medical staff and not some salty tourists. Oh well, we did what we could. i swam all day and then did a top secret sneaking-in operation into the local resort pool which eventually resulted in me getting asked to leave after about three swims...i know, classy. but, i did pay for one over-priced breakfast, which i felt more than cemented my rights to the pool.
enjoy the pictures. i'll be home on tuesday night, and i cant wait to see scott at the airport!
xin chao!
