Well we’ve been in Vietnam now for a few days and it’s not been as bad as all the news we’ve heard from people who’ve been. We haven’t been killed by traffic in Saigon; we haven’t been completely ripped off (only partially, and on several occasions); we haven’t had our asses dragged 5 blocks by passing moto drivers attempting to snatch our bags. It hasn’t been all lollipops and rainbows but it’s been a lot of fun so far.

Will post more later when I get a decent computer (with cardreader) – have to catch up Malaysia, Cambodia AND Vietnam now, errant boy that I am. For now, we’ve been published in last Saturday’s Vancouver Sun. You can look it up on www.vancouversun.com for the next while. This may be our last article; too busy to write these days. Mind you, we’re on the bus for 16 hours tomorrow heading north, so maybe I’ll feel inspired at 4 in the morning.
