Nha Trang part II
I arrived in Nha Trang for the second time early on a Friday morning. I took the sleeper bus from Saigon so I could save on one night's accommodation. "Cheep Cheep" said the bird. It was not comfortable, but it wasn't uncomfortable either. I would call it bearable. I arrived stanky and was fortunately able to shower and leave my bag with the travel agency while I wiled away the day waiting for my next sleeper bus to carry me farther north that same evening.
I didn't do much in this beach town. There wasn't a whole lot I wanted to do. I wandered. I ate. I somehow ended up talking to a prostitute about bananas. I read. I got sunburned. The sun is amazing how it can find you even while you hide in the shade. By the end of the day, it was time to hit the road again.
hi there, thanks for checking me out. i'd check you out too, if you were hot. so where do i begin? i'm a dude. in vietnam i'm a nguoi nuoc ngoai. in thailand i'm a farang, in indonesia i'm a bule and in malaysia i'm a orang putih. i was born and raised in northern california. spent most of my life there until i moved to portland, oregon in 2003 for a spell and then jumped ship for se asia in late 2007 to indulge in sticky rice and sunshine. you need it after living in the pacific northwest. thailand and i had a short love affair and i soon found myself falling for vietnam – at least all the pretty girls, the endless array of vegetarian fare, driving a motorbike, the overall energy – and became an english teacher. did that for nearly four years and nearly went insane. now i'm free again wandering aimlessly around se asia. on the lam. whatever.
