Hometime

Long time between posts. I've been in vietnam. I've lost my phone and broke my kindle. I actually don't know how to go to sleep without them.

I went to the war remnants museum here in Saigon. It was pretty good. I took lots of photos then lost my phone so you won't get to see them. Nor will I. It was basically propaganda but not necessarily untrue. I learnt about the my lai massacre. It's worth a google. Probably the worst thing to happen in vietnam before I lost my phone.

Ho chi Minh city is pretty cool. It is way more relaxed than Bangkok, despite the culturally ingrained misuse of the horn. They beep to let everyone around them know they're going to continue going straight. Walking through the city there is always something happening. People everywhere playing various sports. I think I will move here.

I spent 5 days at the beach in Mui Ne. That's where I lost my phone. It was nice but windy. The wind gave some relief from the heat.

Now I am quickly writing what I think will be my penultimate blog post. It's come to an end. I'm about to go to the airport and fly back to Australia. Ill make up some meaningful bullshit for the last post. For this one though, I just want to thank people who gave me money in the gofundme. I shall endeavour to repay you when I get myself sorted out because I didn't even attempt your challenges. Except Mick's. I did that one 4 or 5 times.

Aunty Julie, Bev and anyone else who is reading this that can possibly get me work before Xmas, I can start next week.

  1. Unfortunately, all good things come to an end, your journey comes to an end and you will recover soon and Australia and its climate! Here in France winter sets in slowly and we rekindled the fire in our fireplace.
    The latest events (attacks in Paris - 130 deaths) have GACHES preparations for Christmas, but life continues.
    Nelly and I wish you a safe return to the country and if one day you come back in France you will always be welcome.
    Merry Christmas Benjamin
