I just had one big laugh about the events that happened last night. It all started when we, Sarah, Claire and myself, set off to catch the bus/minivan to Da Nang yesterday afternoon. We're not even at the corner to cross the street when the minivan pulls up and this guy starts yelling at us to see if we wanted to head North. We cram ourselves into the back of the minivan...our feet resting atop sacks of rice. As we drive along more and more people pile in.
