Here are the pictures I promised in my last post.

Today I met a university student here studying to become an english teacher. He took me to meet his classmates who where all very friendly and eager to practice english with me, and we all had a good time making friends. Later he invited me to come with him to visit his home in the Mekong Delta tomorrow! He said not to worry about money and that we can share the cost (he looks fairly well off himself). He promises to show me around the mekong and teach me about the local culture, maybe even go fishing. With that kind of invitation it would have been hard to turn him down, so of course I said yes. We will be there for three days and then return to Saigon. Afterwords, I will probably have to say goodbye to all of the friends that I have made here in Saigon, and head out (by foot) in a north-eastern direction. I will probably write one for entry here before I go which will explain the contents of my kit. But I don't have time tonight, since I need to prepare for the next 3 days. Until then!
