Friday night was my birthday dinner/gala thinger. It was really nice (I'll up pictures up when I get back.) Family, food, presents, and 5 birthday cakes... what more can a girl ask for? =) So we (as in the family) get all pretty and made up for my birthday. I go into the place wearing this blue ao dai, which according to almost everyone makes me look thin(ish) *gasp!*. It was sooo hot though. So after Photo's with the cake and stuff I changed (I just couldn't take the sweating anymore...)
Photo's, photo's, photo's... they brought the cake in. Streamers exploded (I didn't scream... almost. But didn't)
Food. It was soo good. The only problem was that I chose to sit at a table with Co 5. She is the most uncultured woman. Ever. Of All Time. And Minh is ever more of a fat-ass then I could ever imagine. Like, think... the waiters are paid to serve the food to us, oui? Well about half a second after they put the food down Minh would fucking grab for it like a deprived shark (a fat one at that.) And then the waiters would leave our table because my Aunt would start to serve Minh (using her OWN soup spoon *blech*) before the staff even tried to start. I was so mad... my table was the only table who didn't get full service because a) my aunt is gross. and b) my cousin Minh is even grosser... did I mention that he is 8 years old and perfectly capable of maintaining at least SOME self-control? well he is.
Tomorrow we leave for Saigon. Then the next day its a whirl-wind tour of China. After that it's a few more days in Saigon, then Sap Tran to visit Ong Cau and Ba Mo 10.
Updates will be far and few (if any)
