Toronto vs Nha Trang
So I didnt go home for the holiday, so I went to beautiful Nha Trang instead. I have pictures, but photobucket is as SSLLLOOOOWWW as fucking balls.
I left Saigon on Thursday night at 7:30pm and got into Nha Trang at 6am. I am never taking another TM Brothers bus again. Night train for me next time. I checked into the C30 Hotel, and after the heard that I was a teacher in Saigon at RMIT University (haha) they gave me a bigger room for the same price. Sweeeeeet.
On the first day I just relaxed and drove around one of my favourite cities in the world. The beach is so beautiful, so unspoiled and untouched, and the people are just really friendly and so much more laid back than those of Saigon. The traffic is much better, and people obey the traffic laws.
On the second day I took the a trip out to three different islands. The first one was Thi Island, where I saw deer and some emu. The sights were really beautiful, the dragon fruit trees were amazing, but we stayed there too long.
Next Island was Orchid Island. We were on this Island way too long too, but I climbed one of the mountains to see a waterfall (that they told me after I climbed down the mountain has very little water in the summer) that was almost non-exsistant, but the sights were unreal. We had lunch on the island, the food was great. Then I went swimming and fell asleep in a cabana on the beach.
Next Island was Monkey Island. There were hundreds of little wild monkeys running around, grabbing at peoples bags, attacking children, stealing peoples sunglasses, and just terrifying everyone. I hated them. They were cute, but I went Go-Carting instead. that was WAY more fun. After that I came home and slept. We left at 8am, and didnt get back to the hotel till 5pm...
After that I played pool, met a beautiful girl named Quyen, no english of course, and spent some time with her driving around the city, and eating sea food.
I spent another day there, went to see the big buddha again, drove around the town, did tons of good shit, but I was alone so I came home.
Heres a picture of my new ride.
