Vietnamese engineering
So apparently today a bridge collapsed in southern Vietnam. Just so everyone is clear, we were nowhere near it and it wasn't actually our fault. Well not really...
We are looking at a 15 hour train ride to Danang tonight. Luckily we have beds on this train, so hopefully, with the help of something, we will sleep through the whole thing and wake up in sunny Danang. Aaaaaah Danang. China Beach. It takes me back to the dark days before Pearl Harbour.
I forgot to mention that a couple of nights ago, I managed to go into a ca phe (cafe) and order food, drink, payand refuse the change, all without speaking a word of English. I may be starting to forget my mother tongue. Me talk good over ingle ish yet. No probbie thar.
Typically, just on the day that we are about to leave Hanoi, I believe I have JUST begun to figure out its maze of streets, etc a little tiny bit. I was even able to direct a taxi driver that didn't really know where the fuck he was going. Now I have to deal with Saigon. Shit.
