Ok back to the update update stuff. I miss writing in a more serious vein at times..anyway.  So much has happened, and it's a bit hard to keep updating as regularly as I should and also I'm not doing too well at keeping updated on the email front- please have patience with me!

At times I feel like we're rushing this trip far too much, but then if we are to see everything we want to we kind of have to keep this pace up. 

We're almost leaving Vietnam, and I'm sure by the time I get around to posting this we will have already passed over the border to Cambodia. 

Upon arrival to Saigon we were lept upon by about 20 men shouting "motomoto!!" or "you wanna taxi?" it was 4am and it was all so disorienting that my first impression of Saigon was one of complete dislike. 
We'd left a perfect beach scene, some really nice friends, and the cooling sea breeze for this?! Over polluted, over populated smelly city. We booked into a hostel which had a room with no windows, no fan and a welcome mat of cockroaches. The heat was stifling and it was only 6am! 
After trying to find one redeeming quality to the place and failing miserably we descended the 12 flights of stairs

Cripes I wrote this 3 weeks ago and forgot to finish and post it... Oh well!
