Hey all,
This is Alex Woodcock and I am currently on the Vietnam summer trip and having the time of my life! Been avoiding getting hit by crazy little vietnamese dudes on motos, jumping off junks, and making friends for life!
Just some amazing memories to talk about:
1. Night trains (you really don't sleep on them) - a sleeping pill is advised.
2. Hannah got stung by a JELLYFISH in Halong bay - CRAZY stuff.
3. "You buy from her, but why don't you by from me." - One of the classics quotes of our group. The Hmong girls may look sweet but they are stalkers...it's SO TRUE!
4. Indian food in Vietnam is KILLER GOOD!
5. I am especailly stoked about the Cat Ba Langur project. I really enjoyed my time there, and the woman in charge of the project, Daniella, was very inspiring...I think her job in general basically rocks!
6. GO LANGURS!
7. I am super excited to go on the moto tour in Hue. At first I was so scared when we went in Cat Ba, but it turned out to be the most exhilerating part of that day...hydro-planing just doesn't get any better than that!
Hope this is informative for people reading at home! I think most of us are having an AMAZING time (missing sanitary bathrooms) but otherwise...TRIP OF A LIFE-TIME!
AL
Sounds like you are having a fabulous time! Thanks for taking the time to tell the folks back home about it....Have fun!Peggy Walker
