don't be a drag, just be a queen

what's up my people?! just getting ready for vietnam! we land there tomorrow and we're there for a week! it's our longest port of the voyage, so i'm expecting big things out of this country. don't have any definitive plans, but do have a general game plan. been watching the cultural/logistical preport on tv and we're learning some very interesting and funny things. we're literally drooling at all the food they're showing us. ready for some delicious pho! but NEWSFLASH... there's a threat of landmines. yeah. landmines. millions of landmines in fact. because that's really normal. but that's only on hikes or in random fields. oh wait, brew & i are planning on hiking. so all i'm picturing is me walking up ta cu mountain to the gigantic reclining buddha and tropic thunder is going to happen and i'm going to blow up and lose my arms (not politically correct, and maybe too soon... but deal with it!).

and the traffic. i know i've spoken a lot about traffic in every country (cus it's friggin' nuts! san diego ain't got nothin' on the worlddd!!)... but apparently vietnam brings traffic to a whole different level. google it or youtube it or something. they basically told us "just keep walking... don't stop and don't turn back... then you won't die." oh. okay semester at sea... thanks so much for that. other words of wisdom went something like "find a little old lady that's crossing the street... and use her as a shield." hahaaa... like the DEAN told us to do that. cus when in 'nam... right?

just getting really excited for vietnam. at first when i saw we were in vietnam for a week i was like "wtf am i going to do for a week in tropic thunder land!?" like, why not spend a week in south africa or japan, for instance?! but i think this is going to be awesome. lots to do in ho chi minh city... or saigon. means the same thing, i think. so get excited for some cool adventures! and YOU have an awesome week while i'm gone. cus the world doesn't revolve around me! orrr so i'm told. still up for debate, really.

so don't be a drag, just be a queen. chyeahhh bro. see you on halloween dudes. over and out.
