and it’s not raining!\u00a0 Hooray! It’s April Fools’ day too but I haven’t seen too many Vietnamese carrying out comedy pranks as yet. Maybe I should start a trend ;o)\n<\/p>\n
\u00a0My travel and trips started with great momentum at the start and I seem to have settled into more of a not doing very much routine so far in Saigon.\u00a0 I seem to be appreciating the food A LOT and am loving wandering around the streets.\u00a0 Today I’ve been looking for a medium sized bag and have just been so overwhelmed by all of them, they’re soooo beautiful, that I haven’t bought anything!\u00a0 The clothes are also amazing here and I want them all.\u00a0 The wedding dresses, which appear to be everywhere, are out of this World.\u00a0 I quite want to go and get one fitted and custom made but think it might be somewhat premature and inappropriate given I’m missing a vital ingredient!<\/p>\n
I’ve been looking at ways to get to Sa Pa today which is a small town in the North from where you can trek into the local “ethnic minority” (as they call them) villages.\u00a0 I’m not entirely sure whether to book a tour or just get the train up there and hope for the best.\u00a0 The latter plan seems to have worked thus far!\u00a0 Either way I -have- to get a guide as there is unexploded ordinance around in the North so it’s not a great plan to just wonder round on your own.<\/p>\n
I think I might go and eat more cake now.\u00a0 I had the most amazing chocolate mousse earlier.\u00a0 Mmmmmm mousse!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
