Vietnam

 ha long bay!



We got to the port around 11 and off the ship at 12ish and headed to the tailor shop to make an appointment to get dresses made! Lunch at a local restaurant then we went shopping at a local market.

Ho chi minh is beautiful!! I really was very impressed with how nice it is! The port is a ten minut walk to where all the shops and restaurants are so its really convenient.

Even though I know I am not here to shop, I can't help it in vietnam because they have everything! And its all so cheap!! They have north face stuff galore so I got a backpack and a fleece for a gift.
Facebook is banned in vietnam but I am able to access it on my phone which is cool.

The first night we went to a place called lemon grass for Naomi's bday and then out to a dance bar. The first place we went to seemed like one of those crazy techno clubs you see in europe. It was mostly locals and a little too intense for us so we ended up going to another place that was a perfct mix of sas students other foreigners and locals. It was so much fun and the time passed so quick. when we realized it was 315 we panicked a bit cause alicia and I had flights at 630 to hanoi and hadn't packed yet.

OKay time to leave the internet cafe. Will write more later!
