No money no honey no honey no baby

Nha Trang, it's aight. Not quite as enjoyable as Sihanoukville and the beach is not so clean (I nearly stepped on a syringe the other day, luckily there was a cap on the needle. Courtesy). the night life is fair though. Last night Pete, Pascal, and myself went drinkin at this little place where you can get a huge pitcher of SanMiguel beer for about 75 cents. Needless to say, we drank entirely too much of it. This morning I went on a boat trip and was hating myself for being hungover. I signed up for this boat trip because I wanted to snorkel and see some islands around here. Turns out it's just a booze cruise. There was a few minutes of snorkelling in which I was able to view sand in its natural habitat. There was some free home made rice wine but I wasn't really in the mood. The best part of the whole thing was an impromptu rock concert. This dude was drummin on some home made drums and he was my idol.

I did have an interesting encounter on the boat. There was this Thai girl who I had met months ago in Pai. She had helped me when I was trying, unsuccessfully, to eat in a restaurant and everyone was ignoring me. I felt kinda like a child having her order for me but without her I may have had to just leave and go somewhere else. She's a cool girl and we exchanged contacts, perhaps she'll be able to put me up when I go back to Bangkok.

Tonight I'm taking a sleeper bus to Hoi An. I've never been so excited to sleep on a bus before. It's actually quite comfortable. On the bus ride to Nha Trang, the three of us stole some sleeper seats and had a blasty blast. Wish me luck that nobody will steal my money as I sleep.
