Ok so I'm finally here... the bus too almost twice as long as it should have as we got delayed for 9 hours at a mountain pass road just after the Laos boarder as a truck carrying what seemed like infinite amounts of dried sweetcorn went over... we had to wait for them to scrape up literally (well almost literally) every last curnel of corn (and some rocks too... stay away from the South East Asian sweetcorn for a little while if I were you) ... and then wait for them to move the truck... at least I've learnt a bit about the saying, 'waste not want not'...
... but anyway, I'm here now but totally knackered so will have a quiet night with a beer or two, maybe finish off my gargantuian book 'Infinite Jest' and catch up on some Zs... then maybe I'll find time to update more tomorrow after I've explored the old quater of Hanoi...
Love to all,
Matt
P.S. Vietnam is certianly different... it seems I've been constantly laughed at since I've come here... I think the locals are sharing some good natured hurmour while I wave away whatever it is they are trying to sell me... but in my post bus pissy mood, I have to count to 10 to stop myself telling them to fuck off! ... don't worry, sleep will be caught up with tonight and I'll be shiney eyed, butter-wouldn't-melt Matt you all know and (presumably) love;)
