6. Quick Turnaround
6th
March 2004
 Hello Everybody,
Phew, just finished a three week trip from north to south
Vietnam. Was good fun then crap then OK then somewhere
in between then thank God it is all over. Long time to
be with group, they didn't get along excellent like, but
were civil and nice to each other.
It
was a really good itinerary, got to do some walking and
stayed with local families in homestays. Unfortunately
Intrepid has scrapped that rip this year - to make way
for the European opening up market. A pity because the
trip went to good places. Oh well.
I
don't know who I annoyed in the office but I have finished
that three week trip today and tomorrow I start another
three weeker, south to north. No break - except for the
two days lounging on a beach in Mui Ne and lying in a
hammock all day on the boat to the Cambodian border. Poor
me!
My
Vietnamese is coming along a little better. Fortunately
every conversation with a Vietnamese persons involves
the same questions:
What's your name?
How old are you?
Are you married?
Any
other conversation outside of those questions though and
I don't have a clue what they are talking about - in time.....
I
would write more but I really have to get myself organised
for the next trip.
