Red Sand dunes in Mui Ne, Vietnam

The beach front at our hotel, thirty dollars a night!

I"M GOING TO SINGAPORE IN TWO WEEKS!

Best of both worlds?

"My Little Monkey Friend."  This little girl came up to me at the night market and I figured she was just going to ask me for money, but she stood in front of me not saying anything, so I looked at her and she points to the bag of bananas I'm holding in my hand.  I asked "do you want one," she says "I want two."  Of course, I gave her two.  Five minutes later I turn around and there she was again.  She asks for another banana so I said "only if you takes a picture with me." She argued that she deserved two for the picture, I laughed and called her my little monkey friend (thinking she wouldn't understand me).  I thought wrong, she started making monkey noises and throwing her arms in the air.

Japanese friends we made at a bar in the Backpacker's District of Ho Chi Minh City.   Awesome people, they wrote my name out in japanese for me! 

It's BEEF!  First time in I don't know how many years I'm eating beef in a Vietnamese traditional dish called PHO.  So good - hope it doesn't make me sick! 

The boat market.  It's literally a market, but on boats!  The people are selling all kinds of fruits, veggies, and even fish/other meat!  There are also other boats that are like convenient stores - one guy was selling coffee, sodas, water, and snacks - he drove his boat right up to ours.  

Yes, there are always this many bikes in the street, if not more! It's crazy and they don't stop.  Crossing the street is tough...

Some of the guys from the group and the monks at a temple. Fun Fact: Monks smoke cigarettes.

In a Buddhist temple in Southern Vietnam. Talked to a monk. Looked at birds in a sanctuary. And watched thousands of dragon flies fly.
