8.30pm friday, only 28 hours to go before Im winging my way back. :( Get
your fake student ID orders in quick!

Kinda happy/sad really, had a great time, but reality beckons and all good
things must come to an end. Back in Bangkok after flying from Saigon this
afternoon, felt suprisingly ok after the mad night we had, Bandy was *much*
worse off :p Spent yesterday doing the tourist things, Museum of American
War Crimes, Market, Cathedral, dodging the rain (and touts) and just
exploring a bit. Met up with some people from the bus from Cambodia for
dinner and then headed out to the ‘Apocalyse Now’ bar, which was a lot
busier than last time I was there. But then it was christmas, and they were
probably having xmas do’s. No room on the dance floor so we had a wander,
ended up in some dodgy bar. Strange how the girls that are desperate for
you to come in and drink when you’re walking past turn as cold as ice when the
answer to the third standard question is ‘well, um, no’ (whats your name,
where are you from, buy me a drink?).
Bandy bailed from his pool game, substituting me, without telling me the
‘wager’ was 100,000 dong if we lost or the girl went topless if he won. Of
course, I made as much as a pig ear of it as he did (although it was very
close). Should of taken our tops off, then its all fair innit :p
Back to ‘apocalyse’ until closing (they have a surfboard nailed to the wall
with the legend ‘charlie dont surf’) and then off to a lockin at another
dodgy bar to talk about teaching english, football (yeah me…) and fake
watches with the yanks, swisses and dutch. Thought I’d call it a night at
that point…. yeah right, back to backpacker central, only managed one
sprite before I was back on the tequila :p Didn’t find our hippy friends
though, shame. Day before it pissed it down so we did the obvious thing…
saigon water park!! Hey, it was the hippies (Ash and andy) suggestion
honest! Nearly empty, still very warm, no english spoken so we couldn’t get
told off for damming the lazy river with all the rubber rings. Nearly killed
bandy on the dark water slide by failing to jump back on the twin raft I’d
fallen off and smacking his head on the wall as we went over the dip at the
end… great fun!!
Made it back last night for 4am which was pretty good I reckon. Tomorrow
I’m gonna shop until I drop and then drink all night until I get my flight!
Shopping might be on hold if I drink myself into oblivion again tonight….

right I need a beer!
