i found a house to move into. its only for seven weeks, im just riding out the lease for someone. but its nice and big and it has a kitchen and a patio on the roof. its a little closer to my school and its out of the tourist area, thank god. i move in on friday and in the mean time in gonna get out of town for a couple of days. i'll be heading to the central mountain town of Dalat where there's mountain biking and cooler temperatures. it will be really nice to get out of the madness of Saigon for a bit and collect my thoughts, breath some fresh air, and maybe i'll even get to wear a sweatshirt in the evenings.
on a different topic of things that i found the other day, is the mouse in my toilet bowl. at first i had thought it must have climbed through the ventilation slats high on my bathroom wall and then scaled the outside of the toilet bowl only to fall into the water and get stuck. this must have been some expert climber i thought, there's nothing to grip from the vents high on the wall and then free climbing the over vert of the commode itself seemed like quite a feat. i felt bad having to end this little adventurers journey with a swirling flush. the more i thought about the impossible lengths he would have gone through to end up in the bowl i began to consider an alternative and more probable route. he must have climbed straight up the pipe i had flushed him back down. realizing this, the cute little adventurer of my fantasies quickly became a disgusting little sewer monster. im just glad i didn't follow my first instincts to try to save him from a watery grave by picking him out of the toilet by the tail and delivering him outside.
