Arrived in Mu Ne yesterday, a low-key beach place. Its really relaxing to come here after Saigon. You have to get up early as it tends to rain a bit in the afternoons and evenings this time of the year, that said its a beautiful place and I'm about 20yards from a fantastic palm-tree beach. There is absolutely nothing to do which is of course the point in coming here - the most interesting thing today was watching a cow pass by me on the beach (where he was h...

So went to these tunnels yesterday in a place called Cu Chi. It was where the VC hid-out underground in South Vietnam to fight/resist the americans. Pretty interesting place, right in the jungle too, there's no way they could have been found easily and the tunnels themselves are really long. You could crawl through some of them, the space is really small (even though its been widened for tourists now). I only managed about 50 yards before I had a minor panic atta...

Writing this for the second time as the internet went down next door - didn't really moan as it's rambling rubbish anyway - I've also still got 3 and half months to do it again I thought. The woman next door had just finished a massive email though so was well annoyed. Did nothing yesterday except go and watch a film. It was on the third floor of this coffee shop, really cool, comfortable and they bring you food too. The copy of pirates of the caribbean 2 th...

Each boat sells something different and you can tell what they sell because they attached the particular items to a huge mast. Its mainly fruit and veg (beats pete's stall on eastenders) but so many weird and wonderful things to see/try - had some strawberries (nice but white and not even strawberry shaped) starfruit, and some red fruit, white on the inside with blackpips...I...

Arrived in a place called Can Tho after a morning on a tour of the mekong delta with a load of belgians. It was actually better than you'd imagine (sorry Belgium) although the guide was hilarious, one of those people always in a hurry - 'you get off bus,' 'quick get back on bus' - I don't think many tourists make it down here (opting to go straight to Saigon...S..S..S..S..S... Saigon) Bit of a shame as its really nice on the water, cooler too - now I'm in the...
