Pictures from Vietnam

Trish in Vietnam

---

Here we are, riding our bikes to the beach in hoi an. the town where you can get anything made within 24 hours or less. Tons and tons of young kids were riding their bikes home from school and we were just in the midst of it. Trish's bike was a little ancient with the seat and handle bars far too high off the ground and the wheel not quite straight making it a little hard to maneover especially when it was my time to ride it! nothing fatal though!

The beach in Hoi An

---

This beach is filled with people selling stuff who simply won't leave you alone and just when they're about to leave, tell you their name and say "oh maybe later, you never know" with their vietnamese accents. so if you agree and they see you buying something from someone else they're not going to be that impressed and then make you buy something from them. as happened with us. and then there are the old ladies who simply sit there for what seems like ages because they barely speak any english and then finally give up and leave.

Kite Surfers in Mui Ne

---

It doesn't look like it from this picture but there were so many kite surfers it was difficult to swim as i was afraid they or their kite was going to land on me. I wanted to do it but just got kind of lazy and laid around on the beach all day without moving!

Two Canadians

---

Here's two canadians we met in Mui Ne who played guitar and all night, while trish, a swede and i drank!

An early morning

---

We got up so early one morning to go to the sand dunes in mui ne. we set out on the road on motorbikes at 5 am. A little early for me! this is the sunrise on the way to the sand dunes

A glimpse from afar

---

Here are the dunes from far away. I don't know what you think from the picture but from what i saw it was amazing!

Where was I again??

---

This i know looks like the desert but it was vietnam. thankfully we went in the early morning when it was not too hot

Christmas in Vietnam

---

Who said christmas was becoming too commerical?? tons of the christmas decorations in ho chi minh city were decorated by heineken!

Two of many lil' santas!

---

Didn't i say the kids were the cutest??

Trish on the cyclo

---

We rode around in this once; cause they were just too slow and for me they felt kind of weird . . a man with decades and decades on me and weighing probably less than me pushing me around all day. . . i kept thinking about how it should've been the other way around. so after that i just stuck to motorcycles as my mode of transportation! which i didn't mind a bit!!

The Mekong Delta

---

Where i was when diaster struck. this is why you probably coudn't get ahold of me but nothing happened here. i just floated around on boats, learning how to make coconut candy and rice and floating aruond some more. that's it
