Good Morning Vietnam!!

Hey kids, well here I am in Vietnam. its bloody crazy. It totally reminds me of India; the traffic is mad, the beeping of horns, the hassling on the street ... man it brings back such good memories. We arrived into Hanoi on Lao Airlines from Vientiene which was a grand flight. Despite the fact that I was told the day before that they had once been black listed and were not the most reputable of airlines. to be honest I was shitting myself but it was a fine flight. We even got food on board and a newspaper. It was better than taking a 30 hour bus journey that a few guys I met had done. Afterwards they said that it was the worst bus ride they had ever experienced. They said that the bus broke down a few times, ran out of petrol, only stopped twice in the 30 hours and they had a lot of hassle at the Vietnam border. They even said that there were people (prepare yourself for this) going to the toilet (No. 2) in the bus into plastic bags and then throwing the bags out the window. I was glad to pay the extra money for our flight. Oh ya, after nearly 4 months together myself and Colin had our first major fight. I moved out for a while but to be honest we were back on normal terms again in 2 days. All that was needed was that we needed a little time apart. All is cool now, thank God. I love you bro!! Anyway, that is all the news I have for the moment. I will check in again soon and hopefully rob a few photos off Colin's camera. Later people.
