So, this will be short as I am doing this from my iPod. Vietnam blocks Facebook so don't expect to see updates there unless we can figure out a way around.
This trip has been filled with people wearing soccer jerseys, watching matches, or playing soccer video games. I actually regret not bringing any of my Arsenal stuff, I'd have fit right in. You may have heard about how crazy this part of the world is for soccer but until you walk into a store and see all the employees wearing different jerseys or walk through the airports and see special viewing areas and the weird mascot everywhere those are just stories. It really is a soccer-mad place. I found 2 Vietnamese matches, 1 EPL match, and 2 World Cup matches on, at 7:30AM!
If you've been to Europe you've seen their cigarette warnings about how they kill. Let me tell you, those Europeans have nothing on the Malaysians. They actually put pictures of smokers' lungs, rotted mouths, and deformed babies. It was frightening...yet there were still tons of people smoking.
I don't know what it is with airplanes and Reg and myself traveling but we always seem to have screaming babies on them. Please, if you are a parent of a child under the age of 4, don't be selfish and subject a plane full of people to your little angel. We may never have kids with all the crap we see on our travels.
Those kids all seem to wearing Crocs, as do many of the adults in this area. I don't get it but they are
mighty popular.
The weather is hot and humid and there's not much to see in Ho Chi Minh City so not much of an update for here except to say I should never complain about crossing a street again after dodging all the cars and motos and bikes and scooters.,
