Jack Rebney fights back!!!

this made me laugh my ass off, first seen at bikejerksmpls

this is the walk up the creek bed to fairy falls

the white and yellow sand dunes

the sun setting over the fishing village of mui ne

ho chi minh city is not what you would call pedestian friendly. the sidewalks are filled with motorbikes and street vendors and one is forced to walk in the streets. mui ne however was quite nice, wide sidewalks no traffic and a white sand beach. from where the bus dropped me the place i was looking for was quite far and after being sent in the wrong way by a directionally challenged bar tender i had to take a motorbike to find the place. it was worth it. located on the beach the saigon cafe's rooms were clean and cheap and lovely. my first morning there i met a group of backpackers that i ended up hanging with most of the time. i went on a small hike up fairy stream to a little falls, i went on a tour to the sand dunes, i watched the sunset from the fishing village, i swam in the ocean, but most of my three days there were spent playing cars and relaxing. i am now back in HCMC and need to start shopping around for a job.

the raised voices make it seem as if there yelling at each other. but theres no way that anger caries through all daily interactions. the smiles, laughs, and horseplay tell me otherwise. when i finally find a bar thats open and not full of prostitutes i think i've found heaven. that only last till i have to pee. the bathroom is clean, well stoked and smells nice. the only problem is the size. the bathrooms are like tiny caverns, i have to hunch over to use the toilet. its like pooping in the Cu Chi tunnels.

tomorrow im leaving for the coast. i'll be relaxing on the beach in Mui Ne and exploring the ruins of Phan Rang. it will be nice to escape the chaos of the city for a few days and let all i've seen so far sink in. pictures to come soon.
