Bird's Nest DrinkBird's Nest DrinkBird's Nest Drink

It's only 10 Vietnamese Dong, which means about 70 Cents. Cheap Cheap!
Vietnam has great food! Great climbing! but it is still a communist country, and there are huge limitations.
Will go back to China after Golden week is over.

In the mean time, I'm chilling on Catba Island.

Everyday I boat out to this beach where you
-climb
-wakeboard,
-play volleyball,
-deep water solo (when you rock climb without a rope above the ocean, and when you fall, you fall into the water),
-jet ski,
-kayak,
-eat,
-drink,
-lay in a hammock... all in whatever order you want!


Oh, I ate Goat... and Bird's nest. Bird's nest tastes like sweetened saliva.
Eh... cross Goat off your "to eat in this lifetime" list.

Heads up... there are TWO pages of photos... I hope you see all the pics!

Why do I need a title?
Uhhh, isn't real bird's nest soup super duper expensive? I thought it was an extreme delicacy? Goat is good, it just has to be cooked right. It cain't be no aluminum (or is it aluminium now that you're hanging out with Europeans) eating, trash heap consuming, city dwelling goat. As for those kinds...you only take their milk. As to your particular tastes--bird's nest soup but no silk worms? Where is this line being drawn? Also, can you define some of your activities? i.e. does deep water soloing always involve deep gashes to the palms of one's hands, or might this activity be accomplished without pain?
