Nha Trang

We like Nha Trang.

We found a wicked place to stay. $13 bucks for a large air-con room (with tv, fridge & nice bathroom) that is as big as a studio apartment in a brand new hotel (1 month old) and with an ocean view!! The picture of the sunrise below was taken from our window facing the south china sea!!



We did a boat cruise checking out the outlying islands.. Didn't really see too much of the islands but we did drink really undesirably nasty red wine while floating in the ocean. Probably not safe but hey, this is vietnam.



We rented a motorbike a couple days ago and braved the insane vietnamese traffic. Overall, I think I did good. We didn't die. It can be very tense driving here but there were some nice strips of road that let me unleash moped power and I clocked 60km/h on the open road!! In town, the traffic is too thick so everybody and their grandmother passes me - im such a wussy. Today we handed over driving duties to the infamous "easy riders" who are a local group of freelance bikers who take tourists to see the "real" vietnam... They didn't disappoint and they took us to some places that we didnt find on our own. We saw lots of the countryside and visited Monkey island and Baho waterfall among other smaller things... Hardly any tourists in sight too. Very nice. We got helmets and Uriah rocked hers very well with her cop shades.




We've loved Nha trang... Good value for money and thats what im all about. Tight-asses can rejoice and enjoy the good life for a fraction of what you would pay elsewhere. We've had some wicked meals and they got everything here - Indian, Turkish, Italian etc... Tonight Uriah and I took it to the streets and had dinner for 0.60 cents a plate (pictured below).. Pork and rice does a body good (Im feeling quite plump and squishy at the moment).



We're going to miss this place... We would stay longer but we've already made plans to move on... bummer, but we got to keep it moving. Tomorrow we'll be embarking on a 3 day trip through the central highlands.. Its going to be pretty rural for the next few days so we'll be unplugged.

ps. We are steadily gearing up for our next destination: Cambodia... We met a really cool (and wealthy) New Zealand couple the other day who just came from there. They really liked it. The guy (Byron) blew up a cow in cambodia... Yes a cow... What does it cost to do such a thing? Try $1000 USD. Mostly thats because he shot it with an RPG (rocket launcher) and missed TWICE!! (you pay per missle). He then followed up with a machine gun (you pay per bullet) and shot it about 5 times (out of 100 or so)... After that, he went to inspect the cow and it was still alive so he had no choice but to clobber it with a rock. This is a true story, I saw the video footage his wife took.. insanity. He was happy though because he said the locals got to divide and eat the meat from the cow.

see ya for now.

I've ever liked things like sand clocks, lava lamps, and the like to well-wishing of just dish out time staring at it as a formality of catharsis. In a course, it helps me with meditation, to reduce stress and strain and decent fantasize in the air nothing. That's why since I was a kid, a substitute alternatively of dolls and cars I've perpetually sedate more of such pieces like sand clocks, lava lamps, harmonious boxes etc. So I was most charmed when I base the[url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-1260-2-Laser++LED+Light+Show+Laser+Top+Gyroscope+with+Music+Effects.html] 2-Laser + LED Light Manifest Laser Ace Gyroscope with Music Effects[/url] from DealtoWorld.com under the Toys section. It's like a tuneful caddy, a spinning better, and a radiance show all rolled into one. Which is capacious diversion! The gyroscope pleasure outing for about a minute. The laser explanation manifest with accompanying music makes this gyroscope a rather incomparable fiddle with that my friends get also been most amused with.

My dogs are also beautiful curious about the laser gyroscope I got from DealtoWorld.com. They evermore occupy oneself with the gyroscope as it spins, although at first place they kept barking at the laser light show, and also because it produces music. But after they got used it, they've stopped barking but due maintain following the gyroscope whenever I start spinning it. Kids are also unbelievably amused nearby it. Sometimes it's meet to maintain diverting toys around the lineage so that you can desert the diminutive on while the kids are being amused or playing with it while you live prepare foodstuffs or fall heir to changed. The gyroscope is unified such fool with with this purpose.

The gyroscope I bought from DealtoWorld.com has a dragon as a map on it, and produces a taper accompany with red, blue, and unskilled colours. Nick a look at the pictures I've uploaded of the gyroscope with laser luminosity show. The music produced from the gyroscope is not that renowned but decorous adequacy to entertain any chic visitor to the house. The gyroscope is red and raven, making it look particular cool, and slightly virile with that dragon imprint.

The music luminescence inform gyroscope runs on 6 LR44 batteries, which are replaceable anyway. I've also utilized this gyroscope to surprise my girlfriend during our anniversary celebration. I did the cheesy thing of decorating the hostelry cell with roses and when I led her in, I started up the gyroscope as rise so that the laser torchlight clarify produces a fresh effect. I also had some battery operated candles so all the light effects created a degree romantic atmosphere. She loved it, by the way, to my relief. I also bought the candles from DealtoWorld.com. These days it seems to be my non-fulfilment shopping put in return all gifts and ideas in compensation emotional occasions.

Since Christmas is coming, this laser go down show gyroscope can dialect mayhap be a momentous Christmas give-away looking for the toddler or even the pet! Alternatively, the gyroscope can really be a kindly reckoning to the established Christmas decorations. I can presume placing it within a mile of the Christmas tree and maybe spinning it when guests succeed in the house. Looks like [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com]DealtoWorld.com[/url] is getting my business still again!
