Like a deflated balloon

So Hanoi has tons of bia hoi shops. This translates directly to fresh beer, aka from the tap. Basically these places are just little corner shops with kegs and plastic chairs. There is one intersection where every corner has a least one bia hoi shop. Tons of people are just sitting around, mostly in the street because there is not enough room on the sidewalk. Every once in a while there is a police drill and everyone must squeeze up onto the sidewalk. There is of course not enough room for that so most end up just standing there in the street. The police seem contented to believe that we won't sit back down as soon as they leave. We do. Beer's there taste like shit but they cost almost nothing. I love these places. Last night whileI was sitting down there with a big group we witnessed a moto accident. Some western guy took a mean spill. He was clearly embarrased because probably at least 100 people were looking at him. He quickly got up and drove off, even though his moto was fucked.

Before last night I was under the impression that the nightlife in Hanoi was shit but now I've upgraded my opinion to "not great". Last night we found some underground reggae bar that was quite a good time. I suspect there is quite a lot of this underground nightlife, it's just a matter of finding it without being abducted by cyclo drivers who inevitably swarm you if you stand in one place for too long.

This morning I wake up to the cleaning ladies rummaging around (maybe looting what they can). I look around the dorm and mostly everyone else has already left. Except for this one weird Russian dude. He is still in bed sleeping except that he is on top of the sheets and he is naked to the bone. He is really sleeping there with his ugly dick hanging on his stomach like a dead slug. Man I felt bad for this guy cause he really had one ugly dick. It kinda made me feel bad for all uncircumcised men. I'm sorry, because maybe this is you, but that shit just doesn't look cool. I mostly felt bad for the cleaning ladies. I wonder what they were thinking?
