This is going to be a big one. So many cool sights in Vietnam that I had a hard time picking and choosing photos.
I start though with one from Kazakhstan. I was told that if you don't have anything nice to say, not to say anything at all. That is all I have to say about Kazakhstan.
Moving forward to Vietnam. By far the most amazing country I have been to. I thought it would be hard to beat Thailand but Vietnam is more authentic. The tourism here isn't out of control like it is in Thailand.
- The sights in Hanoi -
The people have been so friendly and welcoming. The language barrier makes it rough but a smile goes a long way.
The scooter culture here is out of control. People swarm the streets on their scoots. One law while riding on the streets in Vietnam... There are no laws.
Shooting in the streets. So much fun. So Dangerous.
About to drink a traditional concoction of rice wine and COBRA BLOOD. They killed the snake right in front of me and drained the blood into this shot glass. Not so delicious but it is supposed to make you "strong like bull."
We are now in rural Vietnam in a city called Dong Hoi, right outside an amazing national park. We are staying at a "Farm Stay" with rice patties right in front of my porch. We have some motorcycles here and have been able to explore on our time off.
I got a really nasty case of food poisoning yesterday. Was so sick. On top of that it was a 21 hour work day. yes. 21 hours. Hardest day of my life. I am good now but am going to be a little more cautious with what I eat.
Adios,
Kyle
